CAPE VINCENT — MetalCraft Marine, a manufacturer of custom aluminum boats with a shop here, has landed a $10 million federal contract for high-speed patrol boats that will be deployed from the U.S. Coast Guard’s “national security cutters.”
Robert Clark, the Kingston, Ontario-based boat maker’s contracts manager, said Thursday that the initial plan is to produce one “long range interceptor II cutter boat,” make modifications based on feedback from the Coast Guard and build up to 10 boats over three years — including two vessels that would be produced for U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the U.S. Navy.
