Default Need a good welder in S.E. Michigan

Anybody know of a good welder in S.E. Michigan? My boat had the bolt on skeg guards when I got it, but I've decided to eliminate them and put on new skegs. I've already purchased the OEM Quicksilver replacements, just need someone to install. Our local marina wants $850 to take off the old ones and install new ones. Just seems a little stiff considering theres no material involved. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Haha. Then I'd hate to see the same bill for the owner of a Nor-Tech!

Already filled out my registration, I'll see you there!

I can ask but it would be a lot easier if the drives were off. Brian41 does nice work but I know its a haul for you.

There's a guy local here in Flint that does awesome work. Delduca's Welding. You'd have to pull the drives though.

I don't know if he's still in business but "Cal's Welding" in Clinton Township (16 Mile and Groesbeck area) did a great job for me repairing a crack in my motorcycle motor after a wreck. It was cast aluminum, and turned out great.
