UMS Aluminum Boats

The Ukrainian company UMS was founded in 2000 in Kyiv. Since 2003, the company’s products have been exported. In particular, boats under the UMS brand are operated in Sweden, Finland, Norway, Germany, the Republic of Moldova, Romania, Georgia, Ghana, Canada and more.

UMS is characterized by quality and reliability, even the smallest boats do not have aluminum less than 3 mm thick. The unique construction of the hulls gives the boats high hydrodynamic performance. In combination with modern design, a perfect product is created.

During production UMS use high-quality aluminum alloy 5083 H111, it is known for magnesium additive, which improves standard aluminum characteristics. It is also called “marine” for its excellent corrosion resistance in aggressive environments. 

The fact that the hull is narrowed means that it is sharper in the middle than on the transom. A less sharp stern gives a boat that is less upright when it is still, but also a more easily driven hull that does not draw as much fuel and also runs faster. That it then becomes sharper immediately and all the way to the bow makes it go softer in high waves.

All UMS hulls have a so-called “inverted chine”. This means that there is an end piece that has a “negative” angle at the junction of the hull and the board. This provides a number of benefits, including better grip when turning and deflecting splash away from the hull, preventing water from getting inside the boat.

Powerboats typically have a “glide threshold” where the boat rises in the bow before reaching glide speed. We increased the angle of inclination of the transom to 19 degrees, which provided a more balanced position of the engine relative to the hull. And thereby minimize the “glide threshold”.
