    This is not a place that I know of, I guess that they are more of a sailboat shop
    But it is an actual marina that is actually charging him $5k so, It's all bad
    Just didn't believe me when I said, " That's wrong"

    Ginger, thanks for the plug in! Miss these conversations!

    The bottom line is 5k for $hit is wrong and even if it is a sailboat shop they should no better ,and to tell you the truth your friend should be seriously thinking about moving this up a notch .............maybe face book for starters just to get there attention because nobody wants a bad reputation in this business because bad news travels very fast , and just curious what is the name of the Marina ?

    Yeah, that's the short version.
    I'll try to take the time to type out the full story tomorrow.
    I've told it here before, but it's worth telling again.

    And it's always more fun to make up new stuff. Doesn't get boring that way.

    Artie, isn't $5K plenty to get that kind of a job done correctly?

    5K is way more than need be!
    Seems like he is trying to pull it and they are threatening with a lawsuit
    Plan is pick up the boat and pay $0 for the work that is worth Negative dollars as this will be a pain in the arse to tear out

    After discussion with the service manager and their glass tech they decided to release the boat and they may file against him for lost wages and material, but.............
    He has the boat and it's in pieces, we are doing it. Have the NEW junk work apart, wow and have installed new good transom.
    ........It's looking up for this vessel
