Pioneer – From bow to stern, hull to hardware, every Pioneer is designed and built for endurance. Hulls are capped while still in the mold, which means each boat sits in the mold for at least 24 hours. The deck is bonded to the hull for a seamless strength that withstands rough waters and any sort of impact. The bond is permanently watertight. Every surface is full-finished fiberglass, even the bilge. The laminates used in Pioneer boats are a blend of bi-axial, quad-axial and proprietary iso-based resin, as well as top-quality gel coat—giving excellent strength for weight. The foam flotation system built into every Pioneer puts dense, closed-cell foam in 90 percent of the space between the hull and deck, making each boat virtually unsinkable. In addition, the ride is quieter, and the boat feels more solid underfoot.
