Model 242s Sport

Gelcoat & Fiberglass Hull Construction

At Barron Boats, we take pride in crafting high-performance lake boats with top-tier materials and meticulous attention to detail. The newest Barron 242S Sport is built using a rigorous hand-laminated fiberglass construction process that ensures strength, durability, and a sleek finish.

Gelcoat Process

  • We use premium marine-grade gelcoat, designed to resist fading, cracking, and wear from prolonged UV exposure.

  • Each hull is meticulously prepped and sprayed in a controlled environment to ensure a smooth, high-gloss finish.

  • Custom color options and designs are available to give every Barron 242S Sport a distinct, eye-catching look on the water.

Fiberglass Hull Construction

  • Hand-Laid Fiberglass: Unlike mass-produced boats that rely on chopper guns, Barron Boats hulls are 100% hand-laid, providing superior strength and longevity.

  • Multi-Layer Lamination: The hull and deck are built with multiple layers of woven fiberglass mat and biaxial cloth, bonded with high-strength resin.

  • Core Reinforcement: Strategic areas of the boat, such as the deck and transom, are reinforced with high-density foam coring to enhance rigidity without unnecessary weight.

  • Stringer System: A precision-engineered full-length wood and fiberglass stringer system ensures the boat remains solid and stable at high speeds.

Built for Performance & Durability

The Barron 242S Sport is designed for high-speed handling, stability, and longevity. With our expert craftsmanship and top-tier materials, this boat is ready to dominate lakes and rivers for years to come.
