Team Lead

About Us 

Founded in 1946 by Harry J. Neils, AlumaCraft began with a simple yet powerful vision: to build high-quality aluminum fishing boats using surplus metal and skilled post-war labor. Our very first creation—a 12-foot aluminum rowboat—set the standard for innovation and durability that still guides us today. At AlumaCraft, we’re more than boat builders—we’re a team grounded in integrity, loyalty, and a strong sense of community. We take pride in crafting reliable, high-performance boats that bring families and friends together for real, hands-on experiences—away from screens and distractions. Our work is driven by a commitment to quality, innovation, and the kind of family-oriented values that have defined us for generations. Whether it’s a quiet morning on the lake or a weekend fishing trip, we build boats that help people connect with what truly matters.
