Custom Fishing Setups: Installation of heavy-duty bait boards, rocket launchers, live bait tanks, and flush-mounted rod holders exactly where you need them.
-
Smart Storage Solutions: Cutting in new dry storage hatches, tackle boxes, and under-floor compartments to keep your deck completely clear of clutter.
-
Transom Modifications: Rebuilding or reinforcing your transom to accommodate a heavier, higher-horsepower modern outboard engine.
-
Bimini Tops & Weather Protection: Installing custom canopies, T-tops, and clears to protect you and your family from the harsh Waikato sun and sea spray.
-
Deck & Layout Changes: Removing or relocating bulkheads and consoles to completely open up your deck space.
Precision Fabrication & Structural Integrity
Modifying a boat is not just about bolting new accessories to the deck. It requires a deep understanding of weight distribution, buoyancy, and structural integrity.
With 20 years of marine industry experience, we ensure that every modification we undertake—whether drilling into fibreglass or welding aluminium—is completely sealed, structurally sound, and built to withstand heavy pounding on the water. We use only premium marine-grade stainless steel, sealants, and fasteners so your upgrades last a lifetime.
