What a first build could look like in Homer
Picture a Homer marine repair, hydraulics and aluminum fabrication shop near the Homer Spit boat harbor prepping commercial gillnetters, seiners and halibut charter boats before summer openings. A digital shop board, parts inventory log and mobile inspection checklist let mechanics photograph hull or gear repairs and get quick skipper sign-off before ordering parts around Kachemak Bay and the southern Kenai Peninsula.
