Restoration

Whether a minor repair or a new '5200 bottom', trained, professional boatwrights perform the work. Other facets of the restoration precess we cover are:

• Varnish and painted finishes
• Re-plating and finishing
• Upholstery

We are committed to delivering a turn-key, hassle-free boat at the end of the restoration process and will continue to serve as your full service wood boat center.

Storage

Our storage facility has a gravel floor. This is to keep moisture in the building and prevent excess shrinkage of planks over the winter months.

We both pick-up and deliver boats. However, customers can drop off their boat at the shop and see our current projects.
