The real purpose of owning a boat, for most of us, is to have fun - fishing, hunting, water-skiing, sight-seeing, exploring - all kinds of family fun.
Being family people ourselves, we know your biggest concern is safety, so our main goal at Bentz Boats is
to make sure the custom boat you purchase from us is the strongest and safest we can build.
All Bentz Boats over 20' in length are built exclusively with 5086 aluminum alloy. This is the toughest usable alloy without being brittle and gives the extra strength you want in the toughest waters. This aluminum alloy is also salt-water resistant.
We double weld all seams, inside and out for maximum strength, producing a boat with durability beyond expectations. We are not aware of any other welded aluminum jet boat that is so structurally designed and heavily braced.

Our years of personal experience operating on the most demanding waters with both sport charters and freight have brought us to newer perfection in bracing techniques. Our manufacturing standards are meant to exceed the needs.

We installed three sets of mounting brackets to handle hoist loading on both sides and front of this custom 36' boat. Other innovations were included to handle special hazards of hauling freight and people.

The consoles in Bentz Boats are of the highest quality. We offer only the newest & up to date technology available.
We build the ultimate whitewater jet boat, the result of years of designing and refining (since 1967). We feel Bentz Boats are the best handling whitewater performance boats on the market - not to mention the toughest.
Bentz Boats are the overwhelming choice of the professionals who consistently run the tough white waters of the Northwest. These seasoned professionals spend thousand of hours in their boats and know what they want.
We are a true custom boat builder. Every boat is designed and custom built to each customer's needs and desires. Sportsman or outfitter, when you board your boat for the first time you can truely say, "This is my boat."
From family outings (such as fishing, swimming, picnics up the river) to guided fishing, hunting & touring trips, Bentz boats are perfect for many uses.
