Any of you guys know any good Texan shops that make custom built aluminum duck boats in the Houston/ SE Coast area. I have a few Louisiana recommendations, but just wanted to see if there is any Texas companies out there that do a fair job. I have never owned a duck boat, and have the money to do a custom built one that will be strictly hunting, and possibly some summer river runs. All I have ever owned was my 22 foot bay boat.

Willet's Welding just south of Tyler in Flint, TX. His boats are tanks that rival most of the LA guys...

I'll have to check him out. We have a guy down here where I live, and he does a decent job. He's just getting old and is starting to slack off and jacking his prices up do to him not making much anymore...I can go to LA and purchase a better built boat than his for cheaper.

Boatright in Houston.

I had a gator Trax and I loved it


For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

I have one of Pete's boats (WC Customs) and it's great. I bought it primarily to hunt from but also bowfish and rod-n-reel fish from it too. Mine is a true flat bottom 1854 with a 3/16" bottom and 1/8" sides that are 24" tall; the thing can take a beating.
