Published: Friday, March 22, 2019
AMF Marine – a division of Alum Metal Fab, LLC and located in Valley View, OH – is owned and operated by Nick Shirk, an avid boater and outdoorsman. His extensive knowledge of fabrication and engineering has allowed him to expand his marine product line globally and offer many services.
Swim Platforms
AMF Marine currently manufactures custom aluminum swim platforms for offshore boats, cruisers, day boats, and pontoons worldwide. Standard platforms include a three-step undermount ladder, grab handles, non-skid top section, choice from over 250 powder coat finishes, stainless hardware, and backing plates. Custom applications range from cup holders to integrated kicker bracket mounts for dual purpose boats.
Aluminum platforms are stronger and lighter compared to fiberglass or teak and are virtually maintenance free. They also help protect passengers and swimmers from injury from outdrives and transom hardware. Whether boarding from the dock or water, a day of fun on the water starts and ends on the swim platform.
Outboard Engine Brackets
Alongside swim platforms, AMF Marine manufactures outboard engine brackets – which increase flotation and improve handling – for various horsepower options. Models include standalone single or double pod brackets. Optional features include integrated swim platforms, ladders, and Aqua Traction Marine Flooring.
I/O or Inboard Engine Transitions
Over the last few years, AMF Marine has seen a substantial increase converting I/O and inboard-powered boats to outboards. The advancements in outboards have come a long way with improved efficiency and less maintenance, keeping you on the water longer.
Custom Flooring
AMF is also Ohio’s certified installer for Aqua Traction Advanced Marine Flooring, which is designed to add style and comfort to your boat while offering a durable, non-slip surface for all your boating needs. Developed with proprietary PE closed-cell foam providing UV resistance, this flooring is easy-to-clean and resistant to moisture and oils. Aqua Traction is best described as the carbon fiber of the marine flooring industry, outperforming competitors using EVA foam in virtually every category. Full services include 3D CAD imaging and installation at our facility or in the water at your marina.
AMF Marine’s goal is to provide exceptional customer service and quality, and to be your one stop shop for boat accessories and customization. Find out more at www.alummetalfab.com.
