Full Time Fabrication

10/23/2026

Full-Time Fabrication started in 2018 in a small, beat-up shop with just TJ, his dog Winnie, and a crusty old welding machine.

Fast forward to today, and we've grown into one of the most talented group of guys in the industry building custom aluminum boats and tackling some seriously impressive fabrication projects.

A lot has changed since those early days, but the general attitude of the shop hasn’t changed a bit. We keep it fun and let our work do the talking, and do a pretty damn good job of giving our customers the personal small-shop experience while also having the manpower and capability to take on just about anything.

Pretty cool to look back at where it all started. Here's to everything still ahead!

We had the opportunity to get back out on the water with the La Conner Fire Department and see our custom-built 28-foot aluminum landing craft fire-rescue boat in action!

She’s powered by twin Suzuki Marine USA 250s and equipped with a dedicated 1,000 GPM fire pump system as well as an SE80 electric bow thruster to keep her tracking properly when using the dual monitors on the bow. And she has a long list of custom add-ons including drop down bow door, custom push knees, rescue davit used in conjunction with the dive door, and a tow post with welded pipe engine guard. She has a Garmin Marine electronics package, Teledyne FLIR infrared camera, and emergency services light bar up top for when she’s in service.

This landing craft was designed and built by FTF for everything from marine firefighting to search and rescue, where having the right equipment can make all the difference when every second counts.

Projects like this are why we love what we do. Huge thanks to the La Conner Fire Department for trusting our crew to bring this one to life!

35 feet long. 11.5 feet wide. Designed and built from the ground up to handle the unforgiving Alaskan waters.

This custom aluminum sport fishing boat is coming together here at Full-Time Fabrication, and it's shaping up to be one seriously impressive build.

With triple Honda Marine BF350s, a QuickGyro MC2 stabilization system, a fully finished interior, and a spacious fishing deck, this boat is being designed to handle big adventures on the water.

The heavy lifting is done, we’re just wrapping up loose ends and doing testing and we’ll be taking this thing to the water for seatrials and delivery.

Stay tuned, she’s one hell of a boat.

We just got the go-ahead to order metal for this 25’ extended cabin cruiser called the North Shore. We’re going to be partnering up with inside passage yacht sales to build some hulls that they’re going to outfit and sell as floor models in the upcoming year, so this thing is gonna be for sale come early spring. If anyone’s in the market, this will be a perfect little puget sound boat. Reach out to inside passage for details on this particular model, and get with us for any of your other general custom boatbuilding and marine fabrication needs!

As we’re getting into the fall / winter crabbing season, thought I’d remind anyone who might be in the market that we build some pretty mean crab boats. We have a few different models drawn up, anything from a 24’ open back sound crabber / dive boat, to the mid range 34’ enclosed cab all the way up to a 47’ coast boat. We’d love to take another one of these on, anyone thinking about a new boat reach out and I’ll get some drawings and price sheets sent your way. Good luck to everyone this season, stay safe out there. Catch some crabs and make some $$$ 🦀🦀🦀

Fab shop got a pretty heavy upgrade today.

NOW HIRING!

Full-Time Fab is looking to bring on another guy or two coming up. Ability to fab/weld is a huge plus, but any marine mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and/or systems knowledge and experience is all considered. Also willing to train the right person who has a desire to learn. We’re a small shop with a great team and all have our hands in every step of the build process along the way, so every day’s a little different. We offer good pay with full benefits and run a pretty low drama program.

Also floating the idea of bringing on someone to help with bids, estimates, parts ordering, and general job / office organization that could also step into the shop as needed. It’s a unique role to fill in a smaller shop and would have to be a really good fit but you never know if you don’t ask.

Shoot me a message if interested and we’ll set something up!
