When we're not fabricating, we're fishing!

I chose Cole and Ryan to build my new aluminum sportfisher after talking to them extensively and looking at their prior builds. Building a new boat is stressful, expensive and time consuming, but Cole and Ryan made it a fun and memorable experience. They were very open and transparent about costs and what was involved with a new build and provided very good value and excellent workmanship. I am a hands-on guy with these projects and worked extensively with Artisan to design the interior just how I wanted it, and they were patient and accommodating with me every step of the way. I found they didn't cut corners on the build and paid special care to finishing details like the electrical system and rigging, going the extra distance to make sure I was happy with the final result. And the best part is they stand by their work and still answer my phone calls when I have questions or concerns! I would recommend Cole and Ryan at Artisan for any aluminum fabrication work from full builds to small jobs. They will fit you in!

Cole has saved my butt so many times. From tig welding a cracked prop the day before a trip to customizing rod holders for the hard top, repairing crossmembers on my trailer. He does top notch work…always busy but somehow is able to squeeze me in

I ordered a custom ladder rack, it was very well done in a good time frame. I am very happy with the finished product and always get lots of compliments on the welds!

I brought my aluminum boat to Cole and Ryan to get the following done. An aluminum hard-top with new windows, a radar and stern light installation, Diesel heater, steering linkage and bilge pump repaired. All work was done very satisfactorily, on time, attention to details, need and tidy and within the budget. Cole and Ryan both carry a positive attitude and are very creative in finding solutions. Wishing them all the Best in their new endeavor. Thank you

Cole McKenzie at Artisan boat building builds excellent high quality aluminum boats…far better than all the name brand boats on the market!
