Question: When does fabricating an aluminum boat become an Art Form.

Answer: When it’s in the hands of Kristi Benwell and her staff at Liquid Metal Marine Ltd.

Liquid Metal Marine was part of the team that built the 26 foot Express Cruiser ( July 28 Onboard article).
The fabricator, who Kristi work for left the area in 2000, so, Kristi saw this as an opportunity to start her own shop in Sidney British Columbia and has been at it for the past 16 years.

I can’t say enough about this dedicated team of certified fabricators and apprentices building vessels from 9 feet to 35 to in both standard mono hulls and rigid hull inflatable designs.

If you’re looking for something special in a recreational boat or you want a commercial boat built for your specific needs, then have a look at the Liquid Metal’s website.

The Best of Two Worlds

By Mathew Channer

Interior British Columbia might not be as famous for recreational boating as Canada’s Great Lakes, yet it is no less a world-class boat­ing destination. The mountains offer their own flavour of marine adventure with their series of long, deep ribbon lakes, and there is perhaps no area that embodies this more uniquely than the iconic Okanagan basin in southern B.C. One could be forgiven for assuming this valley was purpose-built for nautical fun, with a few delightful perks thrown in to make the area entirely irresistible (wine-tasting, anyone?).
