Custom Boat Welding & Fabrication / Boat Repairs

RC Portable Welding & Fabrication provides custom boat welding and marine fabrication for boat owners throughout Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois. We handle repairs, modifications, replacement components, and custom metalwork for pontoons, fishing boats, recreational vessels, and marine equipment. Projects can be completed at our Elkhorn fabrication shop or, when the work allows, at your location using our portable welding equipment.

We Weld All Types Of Boats

These welding services are offered for all types of boats. Whether you are looking for something to accommodate sport fishing or commercial fishing endeavors, we’ve got you covered. We also fabricate vessels for simple passenger boating and sailing. We know the ins and outs of proper design and fabrication, so you know you will end up with a safe and long-lasting boat you can trust and enjoy for many years to come.  

For our boat welding services, we can come to your location with our portable welding unit or keep the production at our shop in Elkhorn, WI. When we discuss and plan your custom boat, we will also discuss what is most convenient for you in terms of location.   

We Also Weld Boating Equipment

In addition to complete boating vessels, we also work on marine-related components such as swim platforms, propellers, water tanks, brackets, mounts, and other fabricated metal pieces. If the project involves the trailer rather than the boat itself, RC also provides trailer welding and repair for frames, hitches, ramps, and other trailer components.

Some marine projects require more than a straightforward repair. When a replacement component is unavailable, or a boat needs a one-of-a-kind bracket, platform, tank, support, or other metal part, our custom metal fabrication capabilities allow us to build the component around the dimensions and requirements of the vessel.

Whatever boating and marine apparatus you have in mind, just let us know! 

Pontoon Welding, Testing & Repair

RC works on aluminum pontoons that need welded repairs, fabricated replacement sections, modifications, or testing before seasonal storage. Depending on the issue, the work may be completed at our Elkhorn shop or through our portable welding service.

See an example of a recent type of repair in our aluminum pontoon welding project, where a damaged section was removed and replaced with newly fabricated aluminum.

Aluminum Boat Welding & Repair

Aluminum boats and pontoons often require specific welding techniques because aluminum responds differently to heat and contamination than steel. RC handles aluminum boat repairs, modifications, and fabricated replacement components both in-shop and through portable welding when the project allows.

For a closer look at the process, read our guide to aluminum boat welding.

This project is an example of the boat welding and repair work RC Portable Welding & Fabrication handles at our Elkhorn shop and, when the project allows, through portable welding. We work on pontoons and other metal boats that need repairs, replacement sections, modifications, or custom-fabricated components.
