ULTIMATE CONSTRUCTION
The Sea Force IX difference begins with our construction both inside and out. Here are just some of the reasons why we are the best:
  • Blue Water Hull Performance: All Sea Force IX hulls are tank tested to provide ultimate results in comfort and stability as well as speed and safety in all water conditions.
  • Monolithic Construction: Unique construction system which maximizes the strength of all components to work as one unit throughout.
  • Weight Management System: Rigid management system whereby all materials and equipment are weighted and then placed into precise position to dial in the optimum center of gravity indicated by our tank testing.
  • Epoxy Resin used for all Secondary Bonding: Assures greatest adhesion and strength throughout. Bulkheads and furniture all become one, further strengthening the monolithic construction design.
  • State of the Art Engine Room: Designed and engineered for optimum operation and maintenance. Easy access to all areas, with safety considerations for “underway” and “shore side” servicing.
  • Electrical: Custom designed and engineered electrical system and distribution panels. All wiring supplied is Tin Copper with a 105° C rated jacket.
  • Fire System: Fully engineered Kidde fire suppression system throughout.
  • Alarm System: Solid state monitoring system for high water, smoke and high carbon monoxide. Display panels in crew area and on the bridge. Specific auditory alarm and lights system to detect and correct any problems efficiently and safely.
  • Fuel Management System: Fully engineered fuel system that allows for complete “from any tank to any tank” fuel transfers with interactive fuel management panels.
  • Fully engineered oil exchange system
  • Unparalleled fuel range economy and performance.
  • Quality Control Program: From start to finish, relentless monitoring through every stage of the construction process. Particularly of special importance is the Sea Force IX lamination process. Part of the QC program monitors the baking of the hull and deck parts for a complete and consistent post-cure, preventing against blistering, fabric print through and the entrapment of gasses in the lamination.
  • Modified vinyluster blend throughout the build. Never have osmosis
  • Retain samples of all Chemicals throughout the build.
  • 3/16 L low carbon stainless steel throughout; fasteners, shafts, pumps, hardware.
  • Built under the ABS and ABYC Umbrellas
  • High tech dry glass matte batteries (A.G.M)
  • All pumps and machinery are installed on isolation mounts
  • 100% epoxy bonding throughout
  • Two safety sea cocks on main engines
  • Exterior Awl-Grip paint job second to none. Rigid process of baking, then longboarding all parts, priming a show coat then final coat is applied through special SFIX technique

Interior

Sea Force IX goes far beyond the competition when it comes to rendering an interior. We start by procuring the finest quality veneers and hardwoods from one of the world’s largest wood merchants. First we look at grain patterns from several basic and exotic species of wood . This gives us a great range in grain patterns to choose from, be they subtle to dramatic. Depending on the wood species and yield of the log, Sea Force IX will make the entire vessel from only a few selected logs.

All the matching hardwood is hand selected and bought by the whole tree, called a boule. The boules are geographically matched and compatible, thus ensuring color and grain consistency throughout the vessels interior. The veneer leaves are then book matched and made into sequenced sheets that are numbered according to the area to be used. They are then vacuum bagged in order to ensure adhesion. Both the hardwoods and veneers are painstakingly crafted into cabinetry that has no equal.

The final touch is our polyester grain filled finish which is applied throughout in our own spray booth. The end result is a flawless 50% satin finish. Our exclusive Italian finish also provides for an unprecedented sward hardness top coat for durability.

Exterior

The same rigid attention to detail is also applied to the selection and production of the exterior woods for every vessel. All our teak is hand selected and purchased by the boule. It takes two large boules to fashion our unique shaped toe rail, coamings, and decking. Even the optional transom is re-sawed from 2 adjacent board sections from the boule. The board sections are then sequenced and applied to the transom.

All finished exterior wood (toe rail, transom, decking, etc..) is of the highest quality quarter sawn teak and receives a 16 layer “mil process” AwlBrite exterior coating that produces a mirror finish.

Both inside and out, the Sea Force IX family of experienced engineers, designers and craftsmen are committed to your dream and how we can make it your reality. We personally ensure that each phase of the construction is flawlessly and meticulously accomplished. We use only the finest materials and hardware. We want to make a vessel you can live in, and one that we can live with.

These important factors are the backbone to our promise to build the “ultimate ride” for you.
