All structural specifications can be increased P.O.R. We will not decrease.All of our welding is done with the continuous wire feed (MIG) welding process, using the finest quality wire and gases. Close inspection of the welds shows the difference. If you compare our specifications with our competitors you will see our framing is heavier and closer. Our welding methods and schedules exceed all recognized classification society’s recommendations. Our boats are straighter, heavier, and stronger yet they are not more expensive. We do not do this by working cheap, we do it by working smart. Instead of building small boats and barges in a ship yard environment exposed to the weather and working on the ground, We build in a modern automated factory. The result is working with a smaller staff of highly skilled people, which allows us to closely control quality and production. We look at special requests as interesting challenges instead of unnecessary burdens.
These are only a few of the differences between us and them. If your considering a boat or barge we urge you to shop around. Before you decide come and see us and we think you’ll agree, that dollar for dollar and pound for pound we offer the most well
designed and highest quality product available."

            Here at Progressive Industrial we have a long standing reputation for building truckable towboats that are a cut above the rest. I believe our 50’ boats are the best example of this and represent the best value of all the boats we offer. At 15’ wide they are easily truckable. They are smooth, quiet, easy to maneuver and very powerful for there class. The interior can be easily finished off to provide overnight accommodations and best of all its a new boat at a used boat price.                                                                                                                                                                        
            The pride in workmanship and quality materials that went into this vessel will be self evident on inspection.
