Still haven't given up on our aspirations to build a full cnc plate kit fellas! I have considered just biting the bullet and building our first hull as a demo for our business. I know this will be an expensive venture but I believe in the skills of my guys and think this would be an amazing opportun...

Kevin it seems our customers expectations and perspectives are always our biggest hurdles! None the less if I never try my hand I will never know whether I was meant to succeed or fail! I am hopeful this customer proceeds with this build and if he chooses otherwise I may proceed with it as a showcas...

I spoke with a rep at Specmar for some additional info to prepare a quote for a customer on the 23ft. Sitka hull with an open deck and he mentioned they recently had one of their boats involved in a collision with another vessel and their boat near cut the other vessel in half. That's what I'm talki...

Hey Kevin,

Yes the bow is a bit different from the Valco but the more I look at the squared off bow rail the more it grows on me especially considering the end user hunting from the vessel and pulling dogs over the rail, bow fishing platform, etc.

Really liking the lines and similarities between the Valco and this Sitka!

And this is all 5356 filler. I dont believe I have any 4043 tig wire on hand. I usually buy in bulk alcotec.

I believe the last photo was actually snuck in from a pressure washing skid. I generally tighten up my dab spacing quite a bit more than that as shown in every other photo. I generally run off a 2t button, button on for whatever material thickness I set my max amps at and button off drops down to 36...

A few from the past year!

Welder, I will see if I can drum up some more photos of my marine projects!

Thank you for your advice Kevin! I was hoping you would comment as I have read many of your posts and appreciate the vast knowledge you share so freely with others. As for the tank we still do all our bends on an apron brake at the moment with quite a bit of setback to basically give us a radiused a...

I did purchase the Stephen Pollard book which is very informative! Yes the tank is vented via a 5/16" hose up to underneath the gunwale to a filter to mitigate moisture. Originally I suggested a gunwale filler neck but was decided against. I will make aware of overfill concerns, thank you for t...

Thank you! Yes the customer requested the tank be placed in the bow to offset his gear weight and the rear mounted console. We baffled accordingly and it is performing flawlessly so far.

Hope these photos come through!

Hello! I have a small metal fab shop located on the eastern shore of Maryland. I started my business from my home garage 2 years ago and have since hired on 2 employees and moved to a larger location. We have serviced many industries since I started but I have found that I enjoy marine fab and worki...
