Fission 500 Construction
The Fission 500 is a glass reinforced plastic (grp) boat with a smorgasbord of features aimed at the dedicated, protected waters fisherman. The hull, deck and cockpit are of vacuum infused, foam sandwich construction giving far superior strength to weight ratios over traditional solid “glass” boats. This means the Fission 500 is stronger and only half the weight of others boats with similar dimensions.
The following images are of the prototype being built and the molds being taken from the finished boat.
