Production began to exceed the capabilities of Marine Innovators and increasing sales volume allowed us to open our own manufacturing facility a 3,000 square foot building rented just a block away from our current location (Marine Innovators built the first fifteen 26 Mark I’s, all later manufacturing was done by IPY).
