Roundabout Watercrafts orders hatches, cut to size for their boats, from 4x8 sheets. What is delivered is mostly usable. But all the scraps leftover from the sheet get sent here as well.
That's where I come in!
I have made a ton of stuff from the leftovers. And along the way, I fell in love with this wonderful material. It's just perfect for the marine environment and kayak tinkerings.
And as chance would have it, someone at King Plastic, the manufacturer of King Starboard, noticed me having fun with their products. They then reached out and invited me to Sarasota for a tour of their place and offered a sheet or two to me for free. I requested a new cutting board and gladly accepted to come pick it up and get a tour of their factory.
The Operations Manager, Charlie who is also the owner's son, was super cool and down to Earth. If you like me, you'd love this guy.
Anyway, this all seemed perfect since I have been using their products for so long now, it's clearly something I was happy to promote. And people had been asking about what it was that I had been using to make DIY transoms for my paddle craft.
So there it is.
King Starboard is it's name.
And a bit of advice I got from Charlie, if you were interested in buying Starboard, is to use their website to find one of their local dealers, since the stuff is expensive to begin with, paying second and third hand distributors would drive the price up for customers.
You can find out 'where to buy' and also just look at some of their project gallery pics for your own inspiration, at their website;
