JC Quality
In July of 1976, John Cripe (JC) and Jerry Amsden began
building high quality pontoon boats in North Webster, Indiana. A few years
later, John’s son, Kim Cripe, joined the company. Today, Jerry and Kim
continue to independently own and operate J.C. Manufacturing, Inc.
To achieve consistent JC quality requires two factors. First, only the very
best components may be used; and second, complete control of the production
process must be maintained. Unlike many other manufacturers who must rely on
countless outside suppliers, J.C. Manufacturing is very self-sufficient. We are
proud to say that all major components, rail systems, upholstery, pontoon tubes
and bimini tops are made by us. These in-house capabilities give us control over
the final quality of every JC Pontoon. What does this mean to you? Every boat
with the JC name will deliver trouble-free performance and top re-sale value,
year after year.
