About the Founders
Peter Spotzl
Peter is the co-owner of the metal fabrication shop. Metal & Wood specialize in decorative steel work but also does all sorts of other work. Examples of some of their work is automated railing for yards, custom washers for industrial projects, and metal frames for artists. Peter has lead this company for almost a decade and has developed a strong reputation around Vancouver and beyond.
"Peter survey's another conquest"
Peter rides an 2018 ski doo summitt. His primary love is boondocking and burning as much fuel as possible. In Peters stable of less modern sleds are a 2005 ski doo summit with a 151" track that currently needs a motor rebuild. His wife rides a 1997 Arctic Cat, El Tigre. The spares sleds are a pair of 1970's classics, the Yamaha 440's.
One of the primary drivers for the development of the Port Tack Rack is Peters desire to have his extra fuel, snowboard, and shovel all easily accessible while riding. We promise to deliver on these and other accessories for your snowmobiling pleasure.

"Cooling down the Ski Doo after a great morning of riding."
Ben's primary love while riding is to explore the backcountry and create new routes through the interior of BC. The Port Tack Cargo Rack is particularly important for carrying extra gear and surveying equipment, maps, and anything else worth carrying.
