We get it.

You love your boat. Tried and true, but in need of some updates and modern technology. At Gorges Boatworks, we focus on taking the boat your already own and turning it into the boat you have always dreamed about. Our customization can provide you with an essentially new boat, but at a substantially lower cost. You love your boat but feel it could use some modern features and upgrades like bluetooth audio or LED lighting? What about a Seakeeper stabilizer, a Rhodan GPS trolling motor or even new paint? In addition to re-building and marketing our own hulls, we offer a full suite of marine services and products. We can also assist with selling your old boat and finding you a new ride!

Quality

We focus on re-builds and re-fits of high-quality, well-known hulls. Jones Brothers, Grady-White, Regulator, Parker, Privateer, and Contender are just some of the boat brands we have put new life into.

Customization

Fresh paint? New canvas? New T-Top, Tower, or Leaning Post? How about new electronics? We get it, you like your boat but you could like it more or maybe the needs of your family have changed. We will work with you to make your boat just that, yours.

Value

Boats are expensive. In fact, we started learning how to re-build boats so we could have nice boats at a fraction of the cost of new. We aren't claiming our process is cheap, but it is high-value.

Past Projects

Since 2004, Gorges Boatworks has re-fit over 50 boats ranging in size from 14ft to 40ft. These projects range from re-wires and re-powers to complete structural re-builds. Here are a few recent ones!
1996 20' Cape Fisherman

1996 20' Cape Fisherman

Re-power, re-wire, re-paint

One of 4 Cape Fisherman re-builds, this 20' Jones Brothers Cape Fisherman came into the shop with a rotten deck, drab-green paint, no console, and no motor. It left the shop with custom wiring, stereo, t-top, leaning post, trailer, and Carolina Blue paint!

1988 25' C-Hawk

1988 25' C-Hawk

re-build, re-wire, re-power

The 245 C-Hawk is a classic Eastern NC boat. Great riding, economical, and beautiful lines. However, in the 80's construction methods often led to structural failure. However, with a new deck, fuel tank, and t-top, and F225 outboard, this boat is ready for another 30 years of fishing!

2005 Contender 36 Open

2005 Contender 36 Open

Re-wire, Re-Power

The Contender 36 Open is one of the best offshore fishing vessels ever made. Big, fast, and tough, they are built to last. This one came to our shop needing new engines, new wiring, and new electronics. We installed 3 Mercury Verados, LED lighting, and a full Simrad electronics suite.
