GETTING YOUR GAME ON

DNA Alloy Boats NZ builds a range of aluminium pontoon/chamber-style boats, as well as conventional plate aluminium models. They are all built to a high standard using computer-aided design (CAD) and the latest CNC profile cutting tools at the company’s Nelson facility.

Build capacity is growing, as is the range DNA offers, which encompasses dinghies, centre-console, cuddy cabin and hardtop pontoon styles, as well as plate-aluminium centre-console, cuddy and hardtop models to more than eight metres. DNA also offers a range of alloy jetboats.

One of the company’s strengths, says founder Jason Elvines, is the ability to fully customise a boat while it’s still a 3D model in the computer. This aspect appealed to Jake, who had approached several aluminium boat builders with his ideas, but none were as accommodating as Jason at DNA.

“He was fantastic! Nothing was too hard and I really appreciated his team’s efforts to give me the boat I wanted,” enthused Jake.
