Kingfisher - Our Story - NMMA & PRE-FLEX

NMMA Certification

National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) certification sets the standard for safety.

Boats manufactured in North America are required to meet a set of minimum manufacturing regulations established by the US Coast Guard and Transportation Canada.

The National Marine Manufacturers Association goes deeper, looking at critical components such as fuel systems, electrical systems, flotation and performance. Only NMMA Certified boats go through the stringent testing to certify each model, ensuring the boat is designed and engineered with safety first, an NMMA standard.

Pre-Flex® Hull Technology

Kingfisher’s exclusive Pre-Flex® technology makes traditional hull design concepts obsolete.

The Kingfisher hull is built on a jig system, forming the hull with “Pre-Flexed” components. Pre-loading the hull components prior to welding forms a hull with unparalleled strength, impact resistance and the comfort of sound damping. Once completed, the hull is removed from the jig, remaining in the shape the Engineers intended; creating a safe and reliable boat that will last a life time.

Pre-Flex® Technology-Simplified
The concept of Pre-Flex® has been around since the dawn of architecture. Arching a structure towards or against the load strengthens the structures capability to handle the load. See the figure below showing Pre-Flex technology in a bridge deck.
