Vacuum Resin Infusion Molding (VRIM)
To our clients, friends, and future prospects,
Sea Force IX would like to earn your trust and in turn your coveted business. Our company, in an effort to utilize modern construction practices, is announcing the integration of Vacuum Resin Infusion Molding (VRIM) technology. This cutting edge technology will be combined with our tried and proven lamination practices. The Sea Force IX team of 3D naval engineers and yacht designers are working hand in hand with the top industry suppliers. Cooperatively we are bringing together the components necessary to begin VRIM on our next build. This process yields parts with a very high glass to resin ratio which means increased strength and less weight. The process is also environmentally and human friendly.

Force IX Hull#3
This vessel is going to a Palm Beach sportsman who is an avid fisherman and keeps his vessel on the go year round. The hull is being fully faired in preparation for one of our signature paint jobs. The interior arrangement is being designed to his lifestyle requirements. The cockpit is being highly customized with the coaming height and width dialed in for serious bill fishing. Other cockpit details are being designed to make this area functional and efficient for the gentleman's style of angling. Hull #3 will be getting our first pair of the all new MTU 2,400 hp engines. All projections point to a 39+k top end with an economical cruise at 34k. This fishing machine is scheduled for a December splash!
Interior Developments
Sea Force IX has developed a totally new series of General Arrangements for the 81.5 and 91.5 that feature a "true" full width master stateroom under the raised galley/dinette area. By "true": we mean 2 portholes on each side directly opposite each other. This configuration is designed within our standard profile and comes with prop tunnels.
Tournament Series
Sea Force IX is aggressively courting the bill fisherman with the new 81.5 "Tournament Series". The cockpit coaming is reduced 5" in height and maintains a 10" width for serious water access. The entire main cabin height has been reduced 6" to give this vessel that classic custom sport fish curb appeal and complete with the industry's legendary custom builders. Add a customized cockpit and hit the circuit.
