Do you have an old boat that needs an update?  Are you interested in buying a used boat but wished it had features of a newer boat?  Your boat can be restored to look like any new boat on the market.  LandCraft Marine is one of the only facilities in the Midwest to offer complete boat restoration services!  Our restorations mimic the look and feel of a new boat at a fraction of the cost.

LandCraft Marine specializes in fiberglass/gelcoat repair and can either rejuvenate existing gelcoat or re-gelcoat your boat, including the addition of new or custom paintwork or decals.  Our woodworking department can restore existing wood or teak within the boat or replace rotted wood floors, seat frames and other wooden areas within the boat.  LandCraft can even reconfigure the interior of the boat if you are interested in a more modern appeal; this can include new seating, upholstery, carpeting, etc.  Another fine touch to update your boat is to add or upgrade electronic accessories including: sound/entertainment systems, radar, sonar, GPS, underwater lighting, and more!

If your boat does not require a complete restoration, LandCraft specializes in fiberglass/gelcoat and structural repairs.  Our services are available to the general public and we have also been chosen as the repair service center for numerous boat manufacturers, boat dealerships, and large corporations who require fiberglass work.  Check out our picture portfolio to view some examples of our work.
