OUR STORY

TinyPontoonBoats.com is owned and operated by Silver Lake Fabrication LLC DBA Tiny Pontoon Boats. Yes, its a mouthful! We're a family business and our home base (office, machine and fabrication shop) is located in Concord, NH. Our business is based on a real passion for quality and being on the water.

The business was started in 2005 by Aaron Leclerc in a small single garage bay on Silver Lake in Belmont, NH, where he repaired tractor parts. The business has grown and transformed quite a bit since then. For years, we built a line of tractor, forklift, and truck accessories, but we officially put a halt to that in 2018 after we started chasing another dream a couple years prior: Tiny Pontoon Boats!

This end of our business was not an overnight development. It's taken years to build this business from the ground up. When we say that everything had to be designed from scratch, we mean everything. All of our floats, frame systems, and accessories have been designed in-house from the ground up to ensure that our customers get the highest quality products possible. In order to meet our high standards, all of our fabrication and machine work is done in-house, and we work hand-in-hand with our key manufacturing partners who produce our floats and custom aluminum extrusions.

Fast-forward to now and our little boat business has grown up a bit. Our initial dream was to offer little pontoon boat kits for people to build in their back yard or garage, but what has really taken over is the industrial end of things. Our primary customers use our systems to build mining equipment, work barges, robotics platforms, dredges, and house boats. We also sell a fair amount to government agencies (call and ask about that adventure). We now have a full line of small and large pontoon boat and platform systems and it's been quite a ride, but we're just getting started.

As of the third quarter of 2023 we're planning our next expansion. As we've made key investments in equipment and partnerships over the years, it's now time to invest further in our next shop facility. As of October 2023, we have purchased a 17 acre parcel located 3 miles from our current facility here in Concord, NH. The facility that we're planning will have 6 times the production space of our current shop and provide us with the ability to build even our full-size work barges indoors. The new building will also have room to warehouse the 500-piece float inventory that we've been building up, and the campus has plenty of room for further expansion. To say that we're excited about this project would be an understatement! At this point, we expect to break ground mid-way through 2024.

Since the start of Tiny Pontoon Boats, we've been on quite a ride. Every day we speak with people around the globe who are excited about being on the water with our products; we love our customers' passion for adventure! Our primary goals have always been safety and quality, and this ensures that a Tiny Pontoon Boats adventure will never end as a bad day.

We have been quite fortunate with the growth of this business and we would like to extend a sincere thank you to all who are involved and cheer us on. We have a lot more work to do and many more adventures are to come. If you would like to follow our story, please check out our Facebook page by clicking on the image below.
