Progressive Industrial, Inc manufactures pushboats, tugboats, workboats, and barges in Palmetto, FL, and globally. Our models include the Super Triumph, Victory, Conquest, and Endeavor. Each model is just under 26', so they do not require a captains' license.
We have purchased two sets of pin barges and a new Triumph pushboat.
They are great people to work with. Quality work.

Easy to deal with, boat was done on time, and whenever I have a question about repairing or a part on the boat Brian gets back to me. My boat is a 2016 with some yearly maintenance she looks brand new. 👍👍
Frequently Asked Questions About Progressive Industrial, Inc.
What is the warranty?
We offer a 1-year warranty on the entire boat and a 2-year warranty on the engines. All engine installations are tested and certified by the engine manufacturers.
What coating do you use?
Our coatings are 2-part epoxies and 2-part urethane. We blast everything to near white and apply all coatings indoors. Additionally, we use an inorganic zinc undercoat on the hull structure.
Do your boats include electronics?
No, our boats are delivered fully functional and ready to run but do not include navigation electronics. However, we can handle all the hot work for the electronics installation.
What do you use for engine cooling?
We use keel coolers, so our boats do not draw in seawater. This means no winterization is required in cold climates.
Are your boats emission-compliant?
Yes, all our engines and generators are new and comply with current emissions standards required by law.
Do I need a license to operate your boats in the USA?
No, our hulls are under 26', so any properly trained operator can run them without a Coast Guard license.

With proper maintenance, there is no limit to how long a steel structure can last. We design our boats to be easy to maintain, avoiding the use of angles in the hull structure to eliminate hard-to-see and maintain areas.
Can you change your standard design?
Yes and no. Our boats are the result of 30 years of design, building, and improvement. We know they work well and last long. If a change can be made without compromising these qualities, we will do it.
