Aluminum Boat Repair and Modification Experts

At ArcStrike Industries, we provide aluminum boat repair and modification work that helps you get more life, better performance, and more confidence out of your boat. If your hull is cracked, your transom feels weak, your floor is soft, or you want to change the layout for better fishing or work use, we can help. We work with aluminum using proven TIG welding and MIG welding methods, along with custom fabrication, CNC plasma cutting, and metal bending and rolling when a repair or upgrade calls for it.

Aluminum boats take a beating. Hard use, hidden stumps, trailer damage, dock impacts, vibration, and age can all lead to cracks, broken welds, leaks, bent sections, worn brackets, and weak mounting points. We repair these issues with a focus on strength, clean fit-up, and long-term reliability. Our goal is not just to patch the problem. We want to restore the structure correctly so your boat runs safer and performs the way it should on the water.

What our aluminum boat repair service can include

Every boat is different, so we tailor the work to the condition of the boat and how you use it. Common repair and modification projects include:

• Hull crack repair
• Aluminum weld repair on seams and ribs
• Leak repair and problem-spot reinforcement
• Transom repair and strengthening
• Floor framing and deck support repairs
• Replacement or repair of damaged aluminum panels
• Trailer damage repair to the boat hull
• Bracket, mount, and support fabrication
• Livewell, storage, or deck modifications
• Seat base, console, and accessory mounting upgrades
• Custom-cut aluminum components made in-house
• Layout changes to improve space, balance, and handling

Common problems we fix

If you have noticed water where it should not be, unusual flex, rough tracking, or visible damage, it is smart to get the boat checked before the issue gets worse. We often help customers with:

• Cracks around high-stress areas
• Broken or fatigued welds
• Leaks at seams, corners, or fittings
• Dented or bent hull sections
• Damage around the transom or motor mount area
• Loose or poorly supported decks and floors
• Old modifications that were not built correctly
• Custom add-ons that need to be stronger and cleaner

Many aluminum boat issues start small and spread over time. A hairline crack can turn into a bigger structural failure. A weak transom can affect safety and handling. Fixing the problem early usually saves money and helps avoid more serious damage later.

Modification options to improve how your boat works

Not every project is about damage. A lot of customers come to us because they want their boat to fit the way they fish, hunt, work, or spend time on the water. We can modify aluminum boats to improve usability, storage, strength, and overall layout. Depending on your needs, we can fabricate and install custom aluminum parts to make the boat more practical and better balanced.

Possible upgrades may include deck changes, storage additions, reinforcement for equipment mounts, custom brackets, cleaner accessory mounting points, and layout improvements that make movement easier and safer. We can also cut and form aluminum components for specialty projects when off-the-shelf parts do not fit the boat correctly.

How we approach the work

We start by looking at the damage or the change you want to make and talking through how the boat is used. That matters. A duck boat, a jon boat, a river boat, and a fishing setup all put stress on different areas. Once we understand the real problem and the goal for the boat, we plan the repair or modification with the right welding and fabrication process.

Our shop work may involve TIG welding for precision aluminum repairs, MIG welding where appropriate, and custom fabrication to rebuild or improve damaged sections. If a project needs exact parts, we can use CNC plasma cutting for clean shapes and repeatable results. For formed pieces, we also handle custom metal bending and rolling. That means we can build many parts to fit the boat instead of trying to force a generic solution.

Why the repair method matters

Aluminum repair is not the same as basic steel repair. The material reacts differently to heat, and the wrong approach can create more weakness or distortion. Proper prep, clean weld areas, good fit-up, and the correct process all matter. With 10 years of combined hands-on experience, we know how to work with aluminum and build repairs that are made to hold up. We are licensed, insured, and certified, and every qualifying project that leaves our shop is backed by our 30 day warranty.
