Looking for aluminum boat welder near NLR

[jt1970]

Hey folks,

So after I hitched up my boat up on the launch the last time, I noticed some stress fractures on my boat. I don't know the nomenclature of the place in question, but it's the hook point where you connect the trailer wench to keep the darn boat on the trailer. This boat/trailer is semi-new to me. I've put her out about two dozen times or so. Not sure if this is a result of the previous owner or of my own ineptitude in wenching the boat too stiffly to the trailer.

Can anybody suggest a place that is familiar with welding on aluminum boats that is fair in price and near NLR?

Thanks,

-jt

Johnny Myers in Beebe is one of the best I know of.

Thanks, Creek. I'm willing to make a drive to Beebe for a crappie.com recommendation. You wouldn't have contact info, would you?

what year and model boat? I called the manufacturer (Xpress) of mine a couple years ago, and the guy mentione that on my particular year model they were having some issues, and I drove it to Hot Sprngs, they put a reinforcement plate, welded, and painted it up for free. Plus I got a few other issues fixed free of charge while I was there.

Great service at the Xpress factory.

It's a 1992 Waco that I bought from a fellow last year. As it has some age to it, I doubt there are any freebies for it.

I would call Tim Scott at the Waco plant. He's a good guy, and may fix you up. Their plant is in NLR.

Tell Tim I said hello!!!

You know, I pass this guy's place on my way to the Sherwood wally world. Now that's local. Looks like I have a couple of recommendations to inquire on. Thanks, guys.
