Founded in 1968, Pro-Line Boats has evolved from a local boat manufacturer into one of the globe’s leading fiberglass fishing boat designers and producers. This journey from a humble base to an industry titan exemplifies our unwavering dedication to quality, innovation, and value.
Pro-Line Boats began with Dan Atwood and his father, Ray, sharing a vision of building high-quality fishing boats. Their first model, sold to local charter guide Capt. Sam Pecorino, marked the beginning of a legacy. With rapid expansions through the years, Pro-Line solidified its reputation for crafting vessels designed to meet the demands of both recreational and professional anglers alike.
Our milestones are not just markers of time but are testaments to innovation. The introduction of our cuddy cabin model and the first deep-V model redefined what fishermen could expect from their vessels. The launch of the walkaround cabin series and big-boat models showcased our commitment to providing a diverse range of high-quality boats.
In 1994, the development of Fiberglass Integrated Structural Technology (FIST) revolutionized boat building by replacing wood with composite coring, setting new standards for durability, maintenance, and performance. This forward-thinking approach to construction underpins our legacy of innovation.
Entering new chapters with changes in ownership and management, Pro-Line Boats remains steadfast in its mission. Our relocation to a state-of-the-art facility in North Carolina and the appointment of industry veterans like Jim Cascadden as President underlines our ongoing commitment to excellence.
