BadRiverBoats now taking orders for durable, customized aluminum watercraft

Hired last May to head up the boat-building firm, Galipeau is a boating enthusiast with a career’s worth of manufacturing experience and a personal relationship to company founder Doug Patrick. “These [boats] are utilitarian, but also pretty enough that you can take your wife and kids to a beach, or just leave it sitting on the dock at camp to get yourself to camp, to take your construction equipment to help a friend; it’s so versatile,” Galipeau said.
