Bow & Transom Extensions , in Tauranga

We are experienced at undertaking re-mold bows and making transom extensions, regardless of your vessels construction. If you need that extra space on the stern of your game fishing launch or extra speed on a longer waterline length for your racing yatch, this could be the answer to your needs.

Bruce Schwab, skipper of Ocean Planet called on Hutcheson Boatbuilders for some extra speed.

This is what Bruce Schwab had to say about Hutcheson Boatbuilders of Tauranga - "As a skipper in the 2002/2003 Around Alone, at each stopover the pressure is on me to accomplish the nearly impossible, in a short time, with a limited budget. I am happy to say that I was amazed by the gang from Hutcheson Boatbuilders and how quickly they were able to do a great job on Ocean Planet's bow modifications! Usually a rush job means sacrificing the quality of work, but they did just what I wanted in record time. I've spent the most of my life in boatyards, so I know good work from bad. These guys are great bunch, I highly recommend them!"
