Why buy an Ultimate Bamboo Sled?

Probably the best reason for deciding on a TUBS Marine bamboo hulled boat, apart from low cost, is the safety you get with our boats.

  • All welded steel skeleton based on isoceles triangles for maximum strength.
  • 3 inch thick bamboo hull skin with built in buoyancy and has twice the strength of fiberglass.
  • Total epoxy resin encapsulation - no gelcoat to cause problems.
  • Sealed flush deck with 3 inch closed cell EVA foam filling the space between deck and hull. Even if you break the hull bottom there is nowhere for water to go.
  • Huge amount of reserve buoyancy - the TUBS 12 has more than 600 kilos of reserve buoyancy!!
  • Great sea keeping capability with huge load capacity for work or fishing
  • Will operate as a planing boat or at hull speed, shallow draft.
  • High sides for optimum freeboard.
  • All models can be trailered.

Summary

The Ultimate Bamboo Sleds are virtually unsinkable, incredibly strong and track and handle beautifully.
In addition the boats are incredibly low cost, where else can you get a 30 foot fishing boat hull for less than $US 12,000.00 ex-factory!!
