Motorboats are fun, but some might say the nautical industry has been too traditional by failing to provide more options for electric boats.

Fishing has been practiced throughout the world for tens of thousands of years. Though it was once used primarily for survival and basic provision, fishing has since become a beloved pastime enjoyed by millions of Americans every year.

In 1988, Kirkland invented the first ever inverted stepped hull design and to this day, most modern performance boats use some variation.

Metan Marine got its start restoring and remanufacturing the classics or heirloom boats of the 60’s. The types of boats tied to the memories of getting on the water with Grandpa, in his 13 foot Boston Whaler, and exploring the intracoastal waterways for the first time as a child. For many, that nostalgic family experience was the birth of a love for water and a love of boating. For the last 20 years, Metan Marine has not only refurbished the classics but is now building their own line under the name Metan Marine Classic Collection. The new line of boats is styled after those heirloom Whalers.
