A boat
trailer frame cracked at the ramp, an aluminum hull took a rock strike, a dock rail rusted through, or a boat lift cradle bent. On East Tennessee lakes a marine metal failure usually happens on the worst possible day, with the boat in the water or the trailer half loaded. In Maryville, that shows up most often as boat owners on fort loudoun, norris, douglas, tellico, watts bar, cherokee, and chickamauga, marina operators, dock builders, and anyone with an aluminum hull, trailer, or lift that needs attention. Maryville is where the foothills start and where the aluminum industry has shaped Blount County for a century. It is also a major gateway for the Smokies, so we see everything from tractor work in Wildwood to dock railing on the Little River. For a typical Maryville call we run the same process: We meet you at the ramp, the marina, the storage lot, or your driveway. Aluminum hull and rail work gets TIG for a clean, controlled weld. Trailer frames and bunk brackets get stick or MIG plus reinforcement. Every outdoor weld gets treated for water exposure before we leave. Quoted before we strike an arc, no after-the-fact surprises.
