I've had Metal Fabrication in Tallahassee do a couple custom projects for me as well and I can second their quality work. Good guys who love to fish, so they'll have some good suggestions on design and construction.

Metal Fab of Talla has done some excellent work for me as well. Here's the casting platform they made for me:

looks like some really good work! I talked with Carl over at Metal Fabrication and sales of Tallahassee and he seems to be the guy for the job. SK, also got ahold of mike and he insured me that he can definitely handle the job. both jobs said it could take up to 2-3 months! as impatient as I am, this is going to kill me.

Can't go wrong with either shop. Both do quality work.

You should have started this project back in November, though. :lol:

Good luck with it, Dom. And remember, fishermen are supposed to be patient.

yes sir, I believe they are who I'm going to do business with. I'm hoping I can get everything done in time so I can take part in the TAKF event this year!
