Foam Flotation

Flotation foam is an essential component of quality boats. Flotation foam prevent sinking, provides thermal insulation and soundproofing. Boats with foam flotation will not sink, even if you shoot it, run it aground, drill holes in it, or leave the bungs out. Seatamer and Formosa vessels have foam flotation.

  • 100% Customisation

    Unlike Formosa boats, Seatamer vessels are 100% customisable to your needs. With custom options, you can add features, put what you want where you want it, and remove any features you don’t want or need. If you’re spending $100K or more on a boat, you should be able to have exactly what you want.

  • Proven Commercial Hull

    When it comes to the Formosa vs Seatamer debate, the hull design is worth considering. Seatamer boats are designed and built on our proven commercial hull design, unlike Formosa vessels.

  • Separate Fuel Tank

    Fuel tanks can be one of the most problematic parts of a boat, which is why it’s important to have a separate fuel tank which can be removed for cleaning, repair, or replacement. Both Seatamer and Formosa vessels have a separate fuel tank.

  • Sold by Manufacturer

    Seatamer boats are sold by the manufacturer, whereas Formosa vessels are sold by local dealers across Australia.
