Moving to the new location, Harris

invested a lot into its facility and clearly

set a goal for its employees to not only be

safer, but to be able to work smarter, not

harder. Our recent tour opened our eyes

to a well laid-out floor plan and here are

some photos we captured during our visit.

Rigging the engines at the plant saves Harris dealers

time, plus the manufacturer knows it was done correctly.

Harris Boats is a subsidiary of the

Brunswick Corporation which also

includes Mercury Marine.

After final inspection, each pontoon is prepped and then

shrink wrapped before being loaded on a truck

for delivery.

In some cases, having the

engine already rigged means

less boats per load, but having

satisfied customers takes top

priority, plus dealers enjoy the

easier process as well.
