Vee Design of Hull |
The
Mono Modified Vee design of the El Pescador shows a very acute angled
bow fared to a soft chine. The chine, in turn, extends to planing
surfaces which form an angled "jet chute" at the stern. Extreme
forward entry of unlike angles on either side of the bow has created
a smooth, dry ride without giving up speed or performance.

Keel View |
El Pescador's keel tapers to the "jet chute" for greater control
and maneuverability at high speed, low speed, and in high speed turns.
No blow out - no cavitation, even in shallow water. This unique and
exclusive feature of the El Pescador projects water up and out into
the propeller and allows the hull to perform in 6 inches of water
without compromising its deep water performance capabilities. |

How the Hull is Built |
The
hull consists of seven layers of strategically designed fiberglass
which produce a thickness of approximately 1/2 inch eliminating any
potential problems from repetitive motion and structural fatigue.
Overlap at the keel results in fourteen layers and an approximate
thickness of 1 inch. |

| |
Transom |
High-density composite sheets are laminated on both sides with
fiberglass to yield a transom with incomparable strength. |
| |
| |
Hand Laid Construction |
The
meticulous care taken with the hand laid construction and use of state
of the art synthetic materials sets the El Pescador apart from mass
produced "pop-out" boats. |
| |
| |
Stringer System Design |
The stringer system design includes full expanded foam flotation
which far exceeds the displacement of the craft and its anticipated
load. |
| |
| |
Decking View |
Nida-Core
honeycomb composite material was selected as the base material of
all the decking and compartments because of the critical requirements
of strength, stiffness, buoyancy, and low water absorption. This mode
of construction yields a product which is superior to those incorporating
wood which is subject to rot, is often too heavy, and lacks shear
strength. |
