ARMOR Marine Thread

Hello! I just wanted to say I love the platform and the enthusiasm for all things aluminum! We have a small and growing shop in Anacortes, Washington called ARMOR Marine. As a quick backstory, it was a longtime dream to build boats, but as a young island kid growing up, I thought boat building (and repairing) was just a hobby and something everyone just did for fun, lol. Anyway, I founded ARMOR Marine as a result of that childhood dream, but in a sense to build the ultimate vessel from all perspectives, i.e. ultimate ruggedness, safety, security, performance, and lifecycle costs. So, I came up with a platform that I thought was tad bit smarter than past attempts, i.e. rhibs or rbbs, and was able to get multiple utility patents on it. Along the way, when kicking off ARMOR Marine, an opportunity arose to acquire Precision Weld Boats, so I did. Hence, we're now building both brands under one roof and slowing filling out our product line and offerings. I'm pretty much a sucker for anything that's aluminum that floats, so we've been building just about everything. We kicked off the adventure just a few months prior to Covid hitting so it's been a wild ride, but we're doing great and just moved into a new facility where we can support builds of up to 100'. We do mostly new builds, but also a good bit of repairs, repowers, and waterjet work as well. Most of what we have done thus far is by customer request, i.e., they need a boat for a specific task and we tailor the design and build to suit. We do almost all of our design work in house and CNC to the greatest practical extent.
Anyway, enough of the shameless plugging, I'd like to use a thread to share a little bit of what we build and what we do. I've been slowly working on the website, bit by bit, which has always been in a continual work in progress, but here it is. ARMOR MARINE
Here's a couple videos we've done of a few builds - Enjoy!
