BREMERTON, Wash. - A Bremerton-based manufacturer is working on a line of aluminum boats they call "virtually unsinkable."
The Kitsap Sun reports that Life Proof Boats is launching a line of vessels resembling Coast Guard patrol boats for fisherman in the Northwest.
Life Proof's Micah Bowers says they are working to build a boat for recreation that's more robust than what is currently in the market. Their boats feature aluminum hulls with flotation collars for added buoyance and stability.
The boats can reach speeds of 60 mph, powered by two 300-horsepower outboards.
Prices start at about $50,000 and Life Proof has worked with Kitsap Bank to create financing packages.
