 HULL
Welding the entire hull as one unit, eliminates the undesirable
feature of rivets below the water line. And we’ve been
welding boats for 40 years! Our unique welding system reduces
distortion and residual stresses which continue
to perplex other welded boat manufacturers. The unitized hull of the Gregor
is shaped for a smooth, dry ride with exceptional stability either at anchor
or under way.
BOTTOM
DESIGN
A well designed
bottom which is carefully produced
will yield superb performance and efficiency.
By virtue of the specific shape of the
bottom, Gregor boat achieves maximum
efficiency and performance without resorting
to large horsepower required.
SPLASH
RAIL
The splash rail works in combination with hull shape to help keep passengers
and gear dry. Do all boats have them? No! Are they located in the right place?
Not necessarily! On a Gregor the splash rail is an integral part of the hull,
designed and engineered for maximum deflection of water and spray to keep you
and your gear dry, even in rough water.
| BOW
A smooth, dry, efficient ride requires a properly designed bow. With its clipper
bow and wide flaring sides up forward, where it’s most needed, Gregor
boats shed water out and away - away from passengers and gear. The sharp
bow design attacks the water with less impact and spray.
TRANSOM
A properly designed transom contributes to performance and stability. The deep,
wide and properly shaped transom of the Gregor boat gives maximum displacement
where it is needed most. However, wider is not necessarily better. The proper
width coupled with a superior shape is the key to stability and safety without
sacrificing performance.
KEEL
Gregor incorporates into the bottom an integral center keel – a
keel one piece with the bottom: the HYDROFLOW KEEL. This hydrodynamic low drag
design prevents air from being carried into the propeller for smoother flow
through the water, while at the same time contributing to the superb tracking
ability of the Gregor. |
CHINE,
GUN’LE, & BOW STEM
These areas of the boat must take abuse, wear and tear and at
the same time provide the hull with rigidity. At Gregor we utilize
extrusions to achieve this end. Not all extrusions are the same.
Our extrusions are of our exclusive design and specifications.
SAFETY
For your safety, Gregor designers and engineers personally test each new model.
Gregor’s standards for safety are among the highest in the industry. We
endeavor to provide you with a boat you can enjoy – a safe and reliable
boat – a Gregor Boat.

INTEGRATED STRUCTURAL SYSTEM
The structural system should be just that – a
system – a fully engineered system – not a series
of addons or heavier something-or-others.
Gregor developed and pioneered the use
of the Longitudinal Stringer/Transverse Bulkhead System
in aluminum boats. In fact we were incorporating this system
in our welded boats when the other current welded boat
manufacturers were still riveting boats.
This system gives superior structural
integrity without adding unnecessary
weight. Its shape and location is specifically
engineered for each model, resulting in
the unparalleled strength and durability of
the Gregor.
