Don Mason has worked as an engineer in the Marine Industry for over 24 years, but his involvement in boat building goes all the way back to his childhood as his father, Don Sr. spent his entire career designing and building boats. Don has built upon the family tradition, by utilizing technology to redefine production standards that deliver the stiffest pontoon chassis in the industry. During his 18 years at Harris Kayot, Don became an aluminum virtuoso, and took exception to the cost cutting sacrifices, demanded by the bean counters. He jumped at the chance to build a “no-excuses” pontoon for Helios. Don has several patents to his name and is valued as a collaborator with Mercury Marine on product integration and new product development. Every Helios Pontoon is a testament to the Mason name and the power of generational excellence.
