The factory tour provided an opportunity to see a combination of the technologies and craftsmanship required to build the boats.\u00a0 There were breakout seminars covering boat design, boat maintenance, diesel engines, navigation instruments, construction techniques, and many more.\u00a0 J\/Boats had a strong showing by boat owners and a number of Johnstone family members attended including Rod & Jeff.\u00a0 Randy Borges, the owner and president of Waterline Systems spoke briefly to the group after lunch.\u00a0 Much credit goes to the success of US Watercraft and Waterline Systems due to Randy’s extensive experience in the boat building industry, his vision for creating a premier boat building and service business, and partnering with quality boat companies including J\/Boats, Alerion and True North.<\/p>\n

I spoke with Sarah Angell from Waterline Systems who has been working to develop the J\/30 parts and service page that should be ready soon.\u00a0 This page will be a great asset to J\/30 owners as a source of parts.\u00a0 Waterline Systems also provides a full spectrum of services for boats that include hull and fiberglass repair, painting, keel templating and of course the famous Waterline Systems bottom fairing.\u00a0 Mike Trindade is the parts manager and has offered to help locate sources for some of the semi-custom parts used on the J\/30.\u00a0 He took an order on the spot with some parts required for J\/30 Magan.<\/em><\/p>\n
