Frequently Asked Questions about Maritime Boats

A. No, all Maritime boats, parts and accessories are sold through our dealer network. Your local Maritime dealer is best suited to assist you with the proper selection and configuration of your boat and is trained to provide expert service and maintenance support. 

A. Yes, we welcome visitors at our facility where the team is happy to demonstrate how they carefully build and assembly the many different Maritime models. Keep in mind that you won’t find many finished boats sitting around at the factory,  we ship them to dealers as soon as they are completed so they can quickly be delivered to new owners.  Just call ahead and schedule an appointment to tour the factory and we will be happy to show you around.

A. Your local Maritime dealer will be able to assist you with pricing on all the different boat models and options including engine and trailer prices.

A.  Any type you want, it’s your boat, it should be your choice.  At the factory we have longstanding relationships with most of the major outboard engine manufacturers that allows us to provide our dealer network with the most popular brands. Usually we recommend installing the outboard brand that is supported by your local Maritime dealer since they are the ones best positioned to maintain and repair your motor should you have an issue.

A. Maritime’s round bow design, extreme flare and wide chines all contribute to Maritimes proven ability to keep you dry. You can read more about all the unique hull design attributes in the Maritime Advantage section. 

A. We use top quality cross linked polyethylene fuel tanks. These tanks don’t rot or corrode and work well with the ethanol/gas fuel blends that are now quite common at the fuel pump. In addition to the quality fuel tank all below deck tanks utilize WEMA fuel senders for additional reliability and dependability.

A. All below deck areas are filled with closed cell foam, including the inside of our fiberglass grid system, this makes all our boats, regardless of the size, “unsinkable”.  Maritimes meet or exceed US Coast Guard and ABYC standards for level floatation. In addition to providing flotation, the foam also contributes to hull stiffness and sound dampening for a quieter ride.

A. No, not any more. Older Maritimes had decks built with a fiberglass encased pressure treated marine grade plywood; these decks performed extremely well however today we are able to build a stronger, lighter weight deck out of 100% composite material. This composite deck has excellent screw holding power and features an aggressive non-skid pattern for improved traction.

A. We use our own propriety blend of pourable composite material that is extremely strong, dense and dependable. We have never experienced a transom failure in the history of the company, how many boat builders can say that!

A. We recommend that you use a soft cotton cloth with mild non abrasive soap and warm water to clean your windscreen.  You can use liquid soaps such as Ivory or Joy or any type of acrylic spray cleaner.  Do not use any cleaning agent that contains ammonia or alcohol, such as Windex, Fantastic, 409 etc. Use of these types of cleaners may cause the acrylic to dull or create craze cracks.
