Looking for Small Shop in Virginia Area

I am looking for a small shop for a few parts that I need for a boat that I am rebuilding. I'd prefer someone close to Virginia because I have all the materials and the parts that need to be mated to. Willing to drive to another state.

Ain't like roofing yer house, remodeling a kitchen, nor landscaping where location matters.

These goods - and the raw materials, are small, light, very easy to ship, round-trip. Internet email for graphics files, and telephones for sorting questions surely exist.

Present price of fuel, your time on the road in winter weather?

I'd ship 'em to whomever and wherever a craftsman is comfortable they can do the job at reasonable cost.

Trboatoworks in Annapolis, is one example.

Thomas "knows a great deal" about what boats NEED to survive and serve long lives... as well as having the capability.

Tidewater Virginia, Florida, Gulf Coast, anywhere "waterside", similar folk exist.

Folks long years IN the boaty-bits trade tend to be better able to spot potential corrosion problems and areas for improvement as to severe weather stress in boaty-service than the folk who do landlubber backhoes and 'dozers do.

Boats are what they DO.
