Multiple Lengths and Widths
Available in a range of size configurations to support passenger vessels, workboats, patrol platforms, rental builds, and specialized applications.
What is the SolidCraft Chassis

The Ideal Starting Point for a Truly Custom Commercial Boat

Most commercial operators have needs that do not fit neatly into a standard production boat. Your waterway, your passenger profile, your regulatory requirements, and your revenue model are unique — and your vessel should reflect that. The SolidCraft Chassis is where that process begins.

Available in a variety of lengths and widths, the SolidCraft Chassis provides a heavy-duty commercial platform ready to be built out to your exact specifications. Layout, seating arrangement, console configuration, storage placement, shade structures, safety equipment, and propulsion package are all configurable — giving operators the flexibility to create a purpose-built vessel designed around their business, not the other way around.

From concept to completion, the SolidCraft Chassis is the foundation for a vessel built entirely around how your operation works — not how a production model was designed.

What You Can Build

One Chassis. Endless Commercial Applications.

The SolidCraft Chassis supports a wide range of commercial vessel types — from rental pontoons and passenger ferries to patrol boats, workboats, and specialized commercial builds.

Rental Pontoons

Build a rental-specific pontoon from the chassis up — configured with the seating capacity, deck layout, and durability features your rental operation requires, without compromises made for a retail buyer.

Patrol and Law Enforcement

Purpose-built patrol platforms with console layouts, equipment mounts, lighting provisions, and deck configurations designed around your agency's mission profile and operational requirements.

Workboats and Utility Vessels

Configured for marine construction, maintenance, inspection, or support operations. Open deck space, tow points, equipment storage, and work-focused layouts built into the design from the start.

Passenger and COI Vessels

Foundation for a COI-rated commercial passenger vessel — configured with boarding zones, passenger seating, safety equipment provisions, and ADA-accessible layout options from the design phase forward.

Water Taxi Platforms

Build a water taxi configured specifically for your route, passenger volume, boarding requirements, and schedule — without being constrained by the limitations of a production platform.

Specialized and Hybrid Applications

Research vessels, tour platforms, event boats, floating service stations, and other specialized builds. If your operation requires something that does not exist off the shelf, the chassis is where you start.

How It Works

From Concept to Completion

Feil's Southwest Boats guides you through every phase of the chassis build process — from the first conversation about your operation to the day your vessel is delivered and ready to earn.

1

Define Your Operation

We start by understanding your application, waterway, passenger or payload requirements, regulatory environment, and budget — so every configuration decision is grounded in how your operation actually works.

2

Select and Configure

Choose your chassis length, width, and layout starting point. We then work through deck configuration, seating, consoles, shade, storage, equipment mounts, and propulsion to finalize your specification.

3

Build to Spec

SolidCraft builds your vessel to the agreed specification with commercial-grade materials and construction standards throughout. Progress updates and documentation are provided as your build advances.

4

Deliver and Launch

Your completed vessel is delivered to your location, ready for operation. Feil's Southwest Boats provides ongoing support for your fleet across the Western US.
