Does anyone out there know who can weld aluminum around the lake area? I need a bracket welded on to my pontoon boat.

Think Ron can do it, if I am not mistaken.

I couldn't believe my eyes. I signed on to ask the exact same question and there it was with an answer. Someone came to test drive my seadoo that is for sale and jackknifed my trailer and didn't want to take responsibility. It was new. Ugh!

We have very competent welders do repair work at our facility.....stainless, regular steel, nuclear certified, etc. but when I have talked to them about pontoon boat repairs (on the tubes) they all take a deep breath. So make sure whomever you use is certified for light gauge aluminum welding. Those tubes are REALLY thin. They just seem thick because they are rolled.

Satterfield in Alex City did a repair for me on the last pontoon boat I bought. It came from the factory with 'pinhole' in one of the welds. They welded it and did a 24hour pressure test before releasing it back to us.
