POWER BOAT DESIGN

CUSTOM YACHTS

Ed Fry's experience in custom yachts goes back to the early sixties building steel yachts, many of which are still in service today. His yachts have an excellent reputation for low maintenance and dependability made possible through unique design concepts in the systems. In custom yacht design FRYCO has collaborated with owners and builders to provide the talent necessary to take advantage of builder's standard details while creating a design that meets or exceeds all of the owner's expectations. Current motoryacht design projects in-house range from 25 to 70 meters in length, from high speed CODOG propulsion to long range cruising displacement yachts.

COMMERCIAL VESSELS

FRYCO's designs in commercial craft range from inland river towboats/pushboats and barges, of which over 100 are in service on three continents, to offshore oil patch work boats and passenger vessels up to 205ft. (62.5m).

Through this broad range of experience we have accumulated feedback from worldwide operations allow us to grasp the client's operating requirements and make valuable suggestions to enhance operations and increase profits.

We design to builder's standards or to class and/or registration as requested by the client.

FIRE AND POLICE BOATS

Fire and police boats for cities, municipalities, and states are always a challenge due to unique local environment and the always present tight budget restraints. Because of tight operating budgets, these boats are often not maintained to the highest standard, therefore the systems must be simple, reliable, and require minimum maintenance.

Often FRYCO is called on to write operating procedures, train crews and provide spare parts so that when the boats are commissioned the crews not only understand operation and maintenance, but have the parts available to last them through the first season or longer depending upon the client's requirements.
