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 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.
