Boat fabrication & welding
Custom Boat Builds & Fabrication
Custom aluminum fabrication for boats — dry box hatches, rooster tail mounts, grab bars, light mounts, deck mods, platforms, and whatever else your boat needs that you can't buy off the shelf.
Overview
Custom aluminum work for your boat
Boats are personal. The right mount, hatch, or platform is the one built for your hull, your layout, and the way you actually use the water.
JG’s takes on aluminum welding and custom fabrication for boats of the style used across Central Louisiana — jon boats, mud boats, and fishing rigs. If it’s aluminum and it needs to be built, mounted, or modified, bring the idea and we’ll talk through how to fabricate it.
Every boat project is reviewed individually. Photos of the boat and the area you want worked on tell us the most, so have those ready when you call.

How we approach it
Built around your boat, not a catalog
Add-on parts that almost fit are worse than none. Custom fabrication means the piece is made for the actual boat.
Measure and plan first

Your project in Bunkie
Aluminum boat repairs and custom components
JG's handles aluminum boat welding and custom metalwork from Bunkie, including brackets, supports, hatches and mounts. Repair inquiries start with the hull's condition and how the boat is used, not a promise made from a photograph.
When you call, have photographs, approximate measurements, the material if known, your location, the desired result and your preferred timeframe ready.
