Superior Towers

Established in 1978 by Frank Sherman, the business of fabricating boat tops, boat towers, and boat shade was a challenge. The industry was creating products that were functional but not always stylish and the designs were not always complementary to the specific boat. Superior Towers feels that boat towers not only have to be functional but also a work of art. Frank started with dock ladders, quickly moving onto small boat towers and boat ladders. Frank's son Robert did all the welding. As in most father and son businesses, Frank said that Robert was a part-time welder drawing full-time pay. But Robert must have done some things right as he took over the business in 1988. With the new responsibilities he realized that the company must be innovative and produce a product that would draw people away from the larger more established and better know firms. So in 1989 he opened the Fiberglass Shop. This allowed him to make boat hard tops that remain unique to each job, and to custom mold electronic storage boxes, boat seats, and even mold in lights and speakers. Whatever the customer's ideas are, Robert can accommodate them.
