Marine & Exhaust Repair
Exhaust risers, mufflers, flex joints, and through-hull piping — welded belowdecks or on the trailer, wherever the boat happens to be sitting.
Mobile Welding & Fabrication
Boat trailers, exhaust systems, truck racks, and custom metalwork — welded up right where you need it. No shop drop-off, no shop markup.
DRIVEWAY, 6:45 AM
Who's Turning The Wrench
Dave's been running a rod and a torch for longer than most of his customers have been driving. These days the "shop" is his own driveway — no overhead, no waiting room, no runaround. Just a guy who shows up, looks at the problem, and fixes it right.
He learned patience raising kids and testing it on stubborn fish, and it shows in the work: nothing leaves his driveway until it's done the way he'd do it for his own boat, his own truck, his own family.
"If I wouldn't trust it on my own trailer, I'm not sending it out on yours."
What Gets Fixed
If it's metal and it's broken, bent, rusted through, or missing entirely — there's a good chance it's a driveway call.

Exhaust risers, mufflers, flex joints, and through-hull piping — welded belowdecks or on the trailer, wherever the boat happens to be sitting.

Cracked tongues, rusted-out crossmembers, bunk brackets, and hitch work. Trailer fails at the ramp, not on your watch.

Ladder racks, rod holders, and bed rigging built to fit your truck, your gear, and how you actually use it — not a catalog size.

Stairs, shelving, gates, brackets — if you can sketch it on a napkin, there's a decent chance it can get built.
Driveway, dock, job site — the truck and torch show up where the problem is.
No shop overhead means no shop markup. You pay for the weld, not the waiting room.
Knows boats and trailers because he lives on them — not just because he's read the manual.
One guy, one truck, one name on the work. Dave shows up — not a rotating crew.
From The Driveway
A running record of what's come through — most of it rusted, cracked, or missing a piece when it arrived.
A Driveway Side Project
Built from scrap and offcuts on a slow afternoon — proof that not everything that comes off the welding mat has to be practical. Spot's had one repair since he was born, and yes, it really was a spot weld.
