Bill Seeman of Seeman Fiberglass developed C-Flex in the nineteen seventies to help amateurs and fishermen build a cost effective one-off hull. Based in New Orleans USA his original idea was to be able to resurrect a worn out hull by inverting the boat, covering it with plastic sheeting and then attaching C-Flex and fiberglass to obtain an almost exact copy of the original hull. This then allowed all the existing engine and equipment to be reused.  Since that time we have offered C-Flex as an alternative method to build one off fiberglass boats.

   The C-Flex planking consists of rigid fiberglass rods and unsaturated strands of continuous fiberglass roving held together with a light fiberglass cloth. Like DuraKore and cedar strip planking, it will form a compound shape over a set of temporary frames.
