CUSTOM STEEL BOATS

Merritt NC

Most recent update: January 18, 2021.

Custom Steel Boats was started in 1981 by Richard Flowers and his son Rodney, in Arapahoe NC.  They moved to a larger facility in Merritt in 1994.  Visit the company at www.customsteelboats.com and see the yard from the air on Google here.   Their web site now describes them as a steel fabricator and makes no mention of boats but presumably they could be back in the boat business if they had some work.
