About Us
About Us
We use the West System products for both hard chine and cold molding as well as Pro-Build epoxies. We also do fiberglass hull repairs. We have a complete woodworking shop at our disposal (we are also in the furniture and cabinet business). We would normally not take a commission for a boat larger than 28 feet. Being in Kansas we do a lot more repair and restoration than new construction but do build smaller sailing craft every year or so. We are also in the position to turn out custom parts for sailing and power craft.
We can rig our boats as we are a full line marine hardware dealer and carry lines and cable to complete the job in house.
