Q: I want to see the

Brisbane and Melbourne), and other countries. Please see our
website at www.MorningstarBoats.com for a complete list. We
are also happy to organize factory
tours for you if you would like to come to
Taiwan for a visit.
Q: Could you pre-install outboard engines for me?
A: Yes, we can provide
Mercury and Evinrude outboards, from 40HP to
115HP.
Q: Could you provide boat
trailers?
A: Yes, we have boat
trailers specially designed for our aluminum boat hulls.
Q: Do I need drainage
for my boat?
A: Aluminium floor without
drainage is like most small boats, when you moor it in
the harbour and it keeps raining, water will start to
accumulate. Once the water level from under the deck is high
enough, the automatic bilge pump will be triggered and starts
pumping out water.
The problem is, battery doesn't last forever, so once the
battery runs out or break down, the inside of the boat will
be flooded. This may cause water damage to your battery,
outboard, and other equipment.
The boat won't sink completely however, because all
Morningstar Boats comes with at least basic flotation.
Aluminium floor with
drainage has a deck that is 6cm higher. When it rains
and water accumulate on the deck, the water will flow out
through a self-bailing scupper. The scupper is a one-way
valve, so water won't flow in from outside (unless blocked by
twigs and leaves).
Whether to choose
drainage depends on your usage of the boats. If you
mostly use trailers to go in and out of the water via boat
ramps, and seldom leave the boat in the water for many
nights, then you don't need drainage. If you moor the boat in
the water permanently and your local weather often have
pouring rains, aluminium floor with drainage gives you better
peace of mind.
Covering your boat with a boat canopy will help too, most
rain water will be directed overboard.
Q: What is basic
flotation? What is level
flotation?
A: This (external) web page has a good explanation for the
differences between basic flotation and level flotation:
http://www.kaptenboatcollar.com/blog/category/level-flotation
Basic flotation = boat will float when swamped, but may float
in ANY angle (normal,
upside down, nose up etc)
Level flotation = boat will float upright when swamped (in relatively
calm waters.)
Basically, extra cost for extra protection. Some small
aluminum boats from other suppliers do not have any
flotation.
Q: Do you have videos of the boat in action?
A: Here is a video for the 498S(Sports Cuddy):
