Quality Plaka boats are rotationally molded from a polyethylene and this method of manufacture has enabled us to bring you a superior boat with an incredibly low price. These boats are manufactured as a one-piece stress free skin that is nominally 12mm thick. this gives you supreme structural strength even before we fill the hull with sealed cell polyurethane foam. As an all round package these boats have a buoyancy that will impress. Our boats are manufactured from a octane polyethylene with excellent all round physical properties and contains a fully formulated long term UV stabilization system. This material has superior strength and toughness that is required in any harsh marine environment. This new method of manufacture has also allowed us to improve the design for our rugged conditions, which has produced an ultra stable ride and smooth, responsive handling. Plaka boats are built to a standard not down to a price and we pride ourselves in obtaining a level of excellence in both our products and our service. Please do not hesitate to contact us. Survey
The 4.6m centre console and 3.6m tiller steer is now available in 4C ( Hire and Drive ) and 2C Commercial Survey After passing the Department of Planning and Infrastructure test the stability and construction of the Plaka. We can now build the boat to Survey. 4C survey allows the boat to be hired to anybody for 2 nautical miles off the mainland coast. 2C survey allows the boat to be used in commercial situations Material Our boats are manufactured from a linear medium density octane comonomer polyethylene with excellent all round physical properties and contains a fully formulated long term UV stabilization package. This material has superior strength and toughness that is required in any harsh marine environment.
The Process Among the many questions we get asked at Plaka Boats is how do we make the
Boats Firstly many hours go into producing a mold for the boat exactly the shape and design we want the finished product to be. once the mould has been made powder material is placed in the mould and then the mould is placed into an oven witch constantly rotates, as the mould and the material heats up it liquefies and covers the inside of the mould. Once the mould is covered uniformly the mould is the cooled and after some time the mould is then split in half and the finished product is removed. to produce a one piece (seamless) product
