Need Aluminum Welder

Killertraylor · 04-08-2003, 08:50 AM

I'm going to add a recessed aluminum fish box to the bow of my Northriver. I've got an estimate from Motion Marine but they want $600-800 and Northriver is working on an estimate but I'd have to send the boat back to Roseburg to have it done which means waiting several months as I can't be without it for awhile. Does anyone know of any other aluminum welders either in Portland or the St. Helens area that I can get a quote from. This seems a little too simple to me to spend more than $600 on, but maybe I'm wrong. Thank you!

Killer---Call Al Anderson in Warren.His # is 397 4316. I had him fix my boat after some idiot ran into it on Frenchmans Bar last fall. He did a great job and was real on his price. His shop is up Church Road.----Tell him Terry gave you the info.

You might try L & J Marine (503.248.0228) on NW 29th Ave in Portland. I have seen some of their work and it looked good.

L&J is good

Thanks, guys. Mr. Anderson lives less than a mile from me which would be very convenient. I'll give him a call and also get a quote from L&J.

Call Tom Sperb at Tom's Outboard, he is a master welder and very reasonable on his prices. Tell him I sent you.

Hey Joe, why not let BOE weld on your boat?

Al Anderson did an excellent job on my boat. He and his son Jeff did some welding on my boat and I am very happy with it.

Killertraylor,

I'd go with Motion Marine, they did a great job on my boat. It can be a get-what-you-pay-for situation.

Tim at Motion will do a good job and get it done on time. That was worth a few bucks to me.

I also would recommend Motion Marine as well, I have seen alot of Mark's work, and I have been impressed! You must think of quality work first, rather then cost, The quote," You get what you pay for".
