original anchor windlass from Aries 32, polished to a high shine.

Fiberglass is a strong and durable boatbuilding material and can frequently outlast many of the materials and mechanical systems onboard your boat. Wood is used in boats to provide strength and stiffness as well as for interior furnishings and trim. It can rot away or can succumb to neglect. We can fix that.

If your boat has an engine or two, it needs regular maintenance and, every decade or so, some more major service. We can do that.

Sometimes there's an accident that needs repair or maybe you just want a fresh coat of paint. We can do that.

Here is an small sampling of some of restoration and renovation work:

FinCo restored this tired Aries 32 to a fine level of finish including a clean bottom with epoxy barrier coat and fresh paint.

All hardware was either restored or replaced as required and mechanical systems brought up to current requirements.

Sometimes it all goes terribly wrong. FinCo's experienced craftsmen are expert at making a structurally sound repair.

Special attention is given to make sure the repair is as strong as the original boat and unnoticeable to a critical eye.

As part of a renovation project, this boat gets all new plumbing for the engines' oil, fuel and cooling systems. All work is performed to high standards for neatness and serviceability.

We love the classics, too. This vintage runabout needed its stringers replaced. After 45 years of use the wood had rotted away under the fiberglass.

After removing the rotted wood and grinding back to sound fiberglass, the floors and stringers were carefully dry fit before final installation.

Stronger than originally built and good for another 45 years!

The wood at the bow of this Ranger 33 undergoing full restoration was shot so FinCo crafted and installed new teak at the bow and fully replaced the toe-rails.

It's not all glamorous. A racing sailor's trailer's fender had rusted through and we couldn't find replacements so we sanded them down to good steel and applied heavy fiberglass reinforcement before giving them a fresh coat of paint.
