In celebration of National Welding Month, we want to give a huge shout out to our group of talented welders here at Burger Boat. Your dedication to the craftsmanship has been legendary here in our boat yard since we welded our first experimental, 36' aluminum hull in 1952. Following this, Burger built and launched the Virginia, widely recognized as America's FIRST all-welded aluminum vessel in 1956.

Sparks fly where talent lies...right here at Burger Boat. Thanks to our talented team!
