    Okay, here is the deal.
    98 Chris Craft
    Rotten Transom/work with local Volvo penta Dealer
    They pulled power and drive
    Then sublet the work to this place that has stated the work is done.
    They have installed several pieces of Treated lumber not in the correct fashion

    What rights do you have as a consumer, they are stating they will not release the boat until there is payment made.

    Thank you, I just have these pics that were sent of what they did!
    Let me review and send the information to my friend dealing with this.
    Anyone want to comment on the repairs they did to his boat?

    That right there is saying he is pretty much stuck up to the agreed price.
    there was only talk about completed cost, they would not give a solid number to complete the boat
    Also, he had not signed anything. This place was assigned to do the work through the Volvo dealer?!?

    Wether they sublet it or not. They are responsible for the quality of the work meeting safety and (at the very least) minimum industry quality standards.

    That all needs to be ripped out and replaced.

    Friggin amazing. I do not know if I have ever seen work that poor....

    Is that complete? How much? If that was mine I would want to shot them. You may need to pay them secure the boat back in your possession and sue everyone. I would be hard pressed not to shoot someone.

    Good Lord!!!!!
    I'm only looking at the pics on my phone, and I can tell that is one of the worst cobble jobs, use of wrong materials I've ever seen.
    All that crap needs torn back out and replaced with MARINE plywood. Glassed and filleted properly.
    What you have there might last one/two seasons, but I wouldn't trust towing it to the ramp.

    I don't think that I have either, how can you look at that and assume there is any strength?
    The wood is pretty much just filler!

    This is a Serious Matter

    The first picture is the completed job, the one to the right is the beginning of the project.
    You can see how the rotten wood absorbed the gel that was brushed on sparingly.

    That stuff right there is some real garbage, it's kind of what happens when you don't know what you are doing.
