For 25 years now we have been refining our product all based around a practicle work horse that enhances the advantages of Aluminium.
Aluminium is a strong but light weight product that has a high corrosion resistance to the salt water environment and is a user friendly material to shape, weld, customise and later modify or rebuild if required.
We have always viewed ideas as being practical and functional with immaculate craftsman like engineering.
We have produced boats suitable for strictly work functions right up to the most glamorous comfortable weekender.
High standards of painting and upholstery can set the scene for what your looking for but more often than not its what you can't see that sets us apart from the rest.
While we provide as much information as possible on our website and brochures its the little things we have developed over many years that never get a mention.

Hull Shape & Construction
Our hull shape is a key factor in our line up. By adopting the traditional method of shaping the hull skin over a predetermined egg crate frame and girder type structure, combined with a welding sequence we are able to produce a rounded compound curve hull shape that squeezes the water out rather than slaping over the top.
We have remained unchanged in this department since our beginning, believing that so long as the sea condition don’t change then nor should our hull shape. Following this philosophy, our hull designs don’t date hence protecting your investment.
Welding Strength
White Pointer Boats weld there boats inside and out which can allow for High Quality finishing of the external welds with out compromising the strength of the weld.
We weld areas fully where other companies don't. The most obvious area is the Gunnel cap or buffer Rail that surrounds the boat. This we regard as a high impact area.

FIT OUT & FINISHING
Pre Paint Fit Out
This area is with out a doubt the most under recognised component in a great boat build.
For Instance every boat receives a pre paint fit out. This means a job card is produced prior to construction so we know exactly what we need to allow for when a boat is about to begin construction.
We have on hand all equipment that will be installed in the boat and a pre fit test is undertaken to make sure all necessary holes are drilled and brackets and supports are allowed for.
Paint & Coating
Once the boat has finished the first stage we are now ready to proceed to the coating stage knowing all holes and fixings will be coated and not drilled or modified after the coating has been applied.
We have a very dedicated team of technicians at the ready all on the one premise to see that every component is installed with care and accuracy and with anti-corrsion sealents designed to minimise surface corrosion and paint deterioration.
Electronics & Wiring
We move on now to the wiring systems that we have pre designed and custom built off site by professional wiring loom builders.
These looms are colour coded, labelled, fused and switched all in keeping with the best products and practices you would expect necessary for the harsh marine environment.
Installation of electronics is a very big part of boat building, and our in house technicians are well informed and up to date with the latest requirements of making sure your toys perform.

Engine Installation
Engine installation is also a major factor in seeing a success story unfold and we pay particular attention to seeing inboard stern drives fitted so they are protected from the sea and salt environments. After installing over 200 inboard units over 20 years we have come to learn what works and what doesn’t.
Keeping sea water out of the engine box is priority but also providing good ventilation that doesn’t omit excessive noise is our goal and we continually test and challenge our methods and techniques to bring you the best systems available.
Upholstery
Once all intalls have been completed the boat moves into the Upholstery stage. Like all our equipment we choose the best fabrics and covering for the job at hand.
Testing and Sea Trials
The testing is now the reward for all the effort put in.
Sea trials on numerous occasions is preffered to find any possible faults or teething bugs.
Hand over is an important step to explain all the detail of your new craft. We look forward to this being an informative and rewarding moment.
