Diab

Advanced Kits

Booth #3-1034 | Website

Diab innovative Advanced kits offer the lowest weight, an optimized fit in the mold, reduced resin consumption, improved handling performance, and improved cosmetics for infusion and prepreg applications. Combining Diab’s extensive knowledge of kits and composite manufacturing with custom software created explicitly for the task, we can take your kit to the next level.

“Diab’s Advanced Kitting is a weight-savings system for fitting flat foam-core sheets into complex curves,” said judge Tim Murphy. “Traditional foam core is sliced at regular intervals, using more resin than the layup requires. Diab’s smarter system starts from 3-D plans and returns core with strategically placed cuts and grooves that minimize the gaps, saving both resin and weight.”

Brownell Boat Stands Service Station

Booth #3-610 | Website

Brownell’s new Service Station makes outboard, lower unit and sterndrive service safer and more efficient than ever. The system includes a positive-locking mechanism to allow precise, effortless positioning every 45 degrees, positionable handles to avoid pinch points, and an optional tool tray to keep everything within easy reach.

Judge Pim Van Hemmen says, “Go into almost any boat yard and you’ll see Brownell’s boat stands. Odds are that Brownell’s new Service Station will soon be inside most boatyard workshops as well. The Service Station is designed to hold and manipulate lower units, stern drives, and small outboard engines for maintenance and repair. It can be articulated and locked at 45-degree intervals for easy access to the engine’s various components. A separate tray can be attached to hold the tools and small components. The service station is built with typical Brownell quality, another reason it’s a winner.”
