Thousands of Powerboats and Sailboats for sale

ATLANTA, GEORGIA (USA) - Pro-Techt of Atlanta, Georgia (USA) announced today that seven boat manufacturers have joined the company's new OEM Program for Mantis, the company's innovative portable bimini top for anglers and boaters.

"The initial group of manufacturers in our Mantis OEM Program build many different types of watercraft, from yachts and cruisers, pontoon boats, kayaks, bass, flats and bay boats, even rowing shells," said Pro-Techt President Chuck Bishirjian. "This diversity illustrates that Mantis can provide onboard protection from the elements in a wide variety situations to enhance the boating experience," he added.

Pro-Techt's Mantis is a great alternative to conventional tops where anglers and boaters are looking for a no-hassle cover solution that deploys quickly and stores compactly. It also offers secondary protection on boats with fixed bimini, T and hard tops by offering cover in areas on the boat that the conventional tops can't reach, or, with the Extender model, it extends shade and provides side protection for these tops.

The Mantis uses universal rail, rod holder, seat and deck mounts to provide convenient protection from the elements on all types of boats. Constructed of durable and corrosion-resistant materials, and weighing less than 7.5 lbs., the Mantis attaches, opens and closes in seconds, adjusts to virtually any position, stores compactly (38" x 6"x 5"), and is available in a variety of sizes, colors and fabric options, including Sunbrella.

Boat manufacturers participating in the Mantis OEM Program to date are:

Cranchi, on board the new Master Yacht Mediterranee 47, to provide a shade solution on the foredeck. Premier Marine, to provide secondary shade protection on the Premier line of deck and pontoon boats. Hobie Cat, for the company's 2006 kayak line. Rhino Marine, on the swivel seats for the company's line of bass and panfish boats. Gause Built Boats, on their line of custom center console boats. Little River Marine, as the shade solution for their rowing shells and skiffs. New Water Boatworks, as a quick and portable shade solution for their innovative flats and bay boats.
