Missing or Broken Wooden Components

If a wooden boat was wrecked, stored improperly or otherwise neglected, we sometimes see missing pieces of the boat. When this happens, it’s important to trust a master carpenter to create a new part out of comparable material which perfectly matches the original structure. Since the new pieces must be exact, it’s best to trust an expert and we have the skills and tools to craft the ideal replacement pieces.

Soft or Rotten Wood

Even if a boat looks seaworthy on the outside, closer inspection can reveal soft spots or rotten wood. These areas can be found on any area of the boat, and if you believe rot is present then it’s important to correctly assess just how much of the boat needs to be replaced. We can help ensure the entire boat is inspected and all rot is identified before making a plan to correct the issue.

Leaks

A wooden boat can leak for any number of issues, and using trial and error to get to the bottom of a leak can be extremely frustrating. Whether it’s a fastener issue, the boat isn’t properly caulked or any other issue, our team members can quickly find the source of a leak and get it corrected so you can move forward with the project.

Finish Issues

The finish of a wooden boat makes all the difference in its appearance, but it also plays a vital role in protecting the vessel. Expert finishing is essential for a head-turning boat, and we can determine what issues are present in the finish and determine the right path to make your boat shine.

If you want to ensure your boat’s problems are corrected for the long haul, it’s best to trust an experienced professional. Our team of passionate wooden boat pros would love to help bring your boat back to life. To learn more about our services, browse our website or give us a call today.
