HDPE boats built to outlast the budget that bought them.
American-made patrol, utility, and shoreline boats for government agencies, municipal fleets, and state parks. Engineered in-house in Wyoming to run for decades with no rust, no recoating, and no annual haul-out.
The cheapest boat is the one you buy once.
Government, municipal, and parks fleets cannot replace a hull every few seasons. Daily use, rotating operators, and a maintenance line that never gets bigger. HDPE handles all of it, and we weld every hull from it.
Twenty years in service. No haul-out, no recoat.
HDPE does not rust, pit, or blister, so there are no anodes, no bottom paint, and no annual yard bill. The hull you commission this year is the same hull running in 2046, on the same maintenance line.
Run it off the trailer and into the rocks.
HDPE absorbs impacts that dent aluminum and crack fiberglass, with no gelcoat to chip and no welds to fail. Hand it to a different operator every shift and it keeps showing up.
Standardize the fleet on one material.
Patrol, utility, survey, and shoreline boats can all be HDPE, each configured to its role and fully adjustable to your specs. One material to maintain, repair, and train on across every department.
Damaged on the job? Repaired in-house.
HDPE is welded, not glued or riveted, so a repair is a hot air gun and a strip of the same material. No drydock, no fiberglass cure time, and no waiting on an outside contractor.
Recovered pipe. Made in Wyoming.
Every hull starts as decommissioned HDPE pipe, reclaimed and rebuilt in-house. 100% recycled, 100% recyclable, and American made, with a build trail your procurement office will like.

American Made
Our HDPE barges and boats are designed, engineered, and manufactured under one roof. That gives us the ability to ensure everything is built to the highest standards and quality possible.
Every hull starts on a CAD station in our own engineering office, gets reviewed by the same team that will build it, and rolls out the door of the facility it was specified in. No outsourced naval architecture, no overseas fabrication, no handoffs between vendors who have never met. The crew welding your barge knows the engineer who drew it, and the engineer knows the operators who will run it.
That vertical integration is the difference between a barge that meets a spec sheet and a boats that solves the actual job in front of you. When you need a deck modification, a custom crane base, or a non-standard hull thickness for a specific operating environment, you are talking to the people who can answer in the same week, not the same quarter.

Common Questions
HDPE fleet boats, answered.
Straight answers on service life, maintenance budgets, configuration, and where these boats are built.
HDPE does not rust or corrode and is unaffected by UV, so a hull keeps working for many years of hard use rather than aging out of the fleet. That long service life is a large part of why agencies move to it from aluminum and fiberglass.
Read more on how long an HDPE boat lasts →There is no rust to treat, no annual repaint or recoat, and no gelcoat to chip. Routine care comes down to basic cleaning, which cuts the haul-outs and yard time that drive the real cost of running a boat over its life.
Read more on HDPE boat maintenance →Yes. Every boat is designed and built in-house in Wyoming by our own engineering team, which matters for agencies with domestic sourcing requirements and for getting direct answers during a build.
Read more on our HDPE boats built in Wyoming →Yes. Deck layouts, consoles, racks, cranes, and motor packages are configured to the job, so the same hull can be set up for patrol, utility, survey, or shoreline work depending on the department it serves.
Read more on custom deck layouts and options →HDPE is welded, not glued or riveted. Damage is repaired with heat and a strip of the same material, with no gelcoat or laminate to cure, which keeps fixes straightforward and often handles them in-house rather than at a distant yard.
Read more on repairing an HDPE boat →HDPE does not rust, corrode, or need recoating, it absorbs impacts that dent aluminum and crack fiberglass, and it floats. The trade-offs come down to weight and up-front cost, which is why matching the right hull to your operating water matters.
