These boat-repairing operations range in size from small mom-and-pop outfits to massive enterprises blanketing entire coastlines, and they all have one goal in common: fix and build boats fast and make money doing it.
The crane at Diversified’s shipyard hits a snag and holds up the build on a monster tug boat. The crew at Superior race to tie down the yard as an Alaskan storm descends on them.

When an uninvited boat arrives needing work, Don brings on a new hire to get the job done. Don’s patience is tested and the axe falls in record time.
The crew on Sea Courageous snap a tow wire pulling a 1,000-ton barge. Fishing Vessel Ocean Harvester is engulfed in flames at Superior Marine while yard owner Don and his crew work to subdue the blaze.
