Construction and Features
Construction begins outside-in, with our Integrated Composite System (ICS). ICS
is a 100% composite design that makes each Centurion Boat strong and uses a
three-piece construction process — hull, inner liner and deck. During construction,
gelcoat colors and full-contour graphics are sprayed into the molds, which ensure
that Centurion tow boats' accents and graphics last all the way to the horizon.
After the gelcoat and fiberglass are applied and dried, giving the three ICS
components solid form, the deck, hull and liner are removed from their molds and
placed together. First, the inner liner is placed into the hull and bonded using a
material called Plexus
