Shout out to Porter's Marine

Noticed a crack in a weld on the poling platform and with some charters coming up, I needed to get it fixed fast. Called Porter's Marine (Mr. Wavel Porter) and he worked me in while I waited. He re-welded the platform and soldered my stern light wiring within an hour and at a great price, too. Very nice, professional work.

If you need aluminum welding, outboard repair (Evinrude/Johnson, Yamaha) or other marine repair, consider Mr. Porter in Woodville. 850-421-1490.

Great service with a smile, plus a story or two.

Thanks Mr. Porter (and thanks JT for the recommendation).

You are welcome.
Did he tell you that if it breaks again it will be a new spot and not where he welded?

No, he didn't, but I don't expect any further issues. It broke where I had drilled a hole to thread the large connector plug for the old GPS antenna. Not enough metal to stand the flex, but it's rock-solid now.
