At Shearline, our goal is to exceed our owners' expectations. In order to achieve this, we empower all of our team members to think like owners. As a result, our employees are firmly focused on improving and developing innovative solutions and designs to add to our best practices. This focus translates into a tremendous amount of pride among our crew as well as among our owners as each boat comes out of our shop. We consider every employee and every owner, both past and present, part of the Shearline family.
OUR PROCESS
Building a Shearline boat starts with meeting with our team of designers to discuss what our clients and their families want out of their next boat. Those conversations include where and how they will be using their boat, what type of amenities are important to their enjoyment, what their travel plans may be with their boat, how many people they would like to accommodate, etc. Once we have established the priorities they have for their boat, we move into the design phase.
Utilizing fully parametric engineering software, we then turn these ideas into a 3-D model and begin the optimization process. This has proven to be a very effective way of keeping everyone on th same page which allows the client to actively participate in the design process. After several iterations, the design becomes finalized with the client knowing the details of how their boat is to be built. With an accurate CAD model in hand, the hull jig is developed and CNC stations are cut to ensure that what we have all seen in the 3-D model will be exactly what we build on the shop floor. Throughout the build process, additional details are readily available which results in a very efficient build schedule.
Once the design is complete, we employ traditional North Carolina construction techniques to build the boat, by hand. Each hull is cold-molded using the finest marine grade plywoods available, hand laid fiberglass and epoxy resins. Once every surface is encapsulated in fiberglass, we enter an extensive fairing process utilizing the best paints available as well. Before the boat is flipped, we paint each hull black to ensure that the resins have cured to a higher temperature than a lighter color will reach. The black color is also very unforgiving when it comes to fairness, so we can see any imperfections there may be under the painted surface and correct them before the boat is painted its final color. Once the hull is flipped, we install structural bulkheads at strategic points, and install the tankage, engines and systems. She is then ready for decks, interior construction, and cockpit and bridge amenities and layout. All of the visible surfaces, including bilges, boxes, inside settees, engine and mechanical rooms and places one might not expect to see slick painted surfaces, are then faired and painted to the highest standards. She's then ready for her top or tower and electronics, which are also completed in-house. After initial sea trials and testing of all systems, the newest member of the Shearline family is ready for delivery!
OUR PARTNERSHIP
The Shearline client has the ability to design every aspect of the project. Our owners are encouraged to visit our shop as often as they would like, as there are many decisions and choices that go into a custom project and the more our owners are engaged, the better equipped we are to build them the best boat possible. This involvement helps us build strong relationships with our clients and builds a sense of pride of ownership that is unique to Shearline owners.

One of the products Solar Attic sells is Made in America Solar Pool Heaters. A more complete list of their products is provided by Made in America Secrets, to review their list click here.
For more information about Solar Attic and its American Made products see the following:
SolarAttic's Solar Conservation Technologies are projected to eliminate 586 million barrels of imported oil annually, which even exceeds the current Alaska (Arctic National Wildlife Refuge) ANWR oil production estimates. View our imported oil reduction calculations on how SolarAttic's technology can do this. SolarAttic developed its first attic solar pool heater in 1986 based on recovering wasted attic heat energy. Most swimming pool owners have a home with a hot attic that can be used to heat their swimming pool for $10/month or less. The solar heat energy found within the roof and attic structure is derived from the sun's solar radiation. Twenty-eight years of field experience with our patented solar technology has taught SolarAttic that its attic solar pool heater generally performs on a par with roof mounted solar panels. Many solar pool heater benefits are available to swimming pool owners without the need to have solar panels mounted on their roof. Here are the roof problems with traditional solar panels, that are avoided when using SolarAttic's attic solar pool heating technology.
Twenty-eight years of consumers using our solar pool heating technology has also shown us that consumers want a real solar pool heating choice. Instead of just another variation on the use of plastic roof panels to collect solar energy, consumers would like search engines to show the attic solar pool heater option on the first page instead of page 3 or later. Yet, this won't happen unless consumers spread the word with their social media to influence the results of Google and other search engines.

One of the products Water Otter Boats sells is American Made Boats. A more complete list of their products is provided by Made in America Secrets, to review their list click here.
For more information about Water Otter Boats and its Made in the USA products see the following:
Water Otter Inc. went into production in 1986 here in Hamilton Montana, under the ownership of Darryl Osburn, an avid fly fisherman, outfitter and licensed fly fishing instructor. Darryl had developed a reputation among the local fly fishermen and guides for manufacturing rowing frames for rafts that soon became the standard in this area. The idea of a single-person pontoon boat was suggested to Darryl by his good friend, and world renown fly fisherman, Doug Swisher. With Doug's encouragement, suggestions, and help in proto-type testing, the first Water Otter was brought onto the fly fishing scene.The concept of floating rivers and lakes in a single-person pontoon craft was a new concept for most fly fishermen, thus starting an educational process to the public. First selling the concept, then selling the Water Otter craft.The sales in the first years were painfully slow because of this being a brand new idea for the industry. The sales were predominantly direct sales to the customer because of the unwillingness of dealers to take on this new concept. And as it turned out, we still market mainly to the end user today. As more and more of these craft surfaced on the waters across the country, this type of fishing drew a surprising interest from both the public and other manufacturers. As other manufacturers entered the market place with their versions of the Water Otter, this type of angling soon became a legitimate method. This new method of fly fishing has now become the accepted standard within this industry and, has spawned a whole host of competitors,Water Otter Inc. has been manufacturing single person pontoon boats for over 25 years, (longer than anyone in the industry) and has a reputation for quality and durability. Although Darryl Osburn, the founder of Water Otter Inc., has since retired, the idea and ingenuity of his craft carries on.We still maintain those same design principles that Darryl spent so much time refining. And we still build one of the lightest, and without question the strongest and most durable craft in it's class on the water today. Consider the last time you saw square tubing on a pontoon craft. Ponder the strength of square versus round. Then ask anyone who owns a Water Otter or a River Otter and they will tell you, dollar for value?we own the market. Our nitch consumer continues to be the angler who refuses to lug around the heavier boats that are offered today, or those who pack-in to remote lakes or rivers. These craft are lightweight yet exhibit enormous strength. Most pontoon boats available today sacrifice one for the other. We combine both ingredients to arrive at the extremely practical and durable work horse of the industry. And it is still the most quality packed craft in it's class today. That is the marvel of the original Water Otter Craft. Accept no substitutes.
