Not trying to be rude or arrogant Just saying And yes they do great fiberglass work They just finished working on mine :)

Thanks for the update - I love going to old places like that, and I got to bring my boys w/ me since they were out of school that day. It was almost 20 years since I was there and I didn't remember Max, but I was there for some other business and not getting a boat worked on. Was actually seizing one that was there for a court proceeding, thus didn't have anything to do w/ the owners of the place. Good people for sure! |

ETA - But Max has done some work for me before. They do a great job!!

They told me the story about how it got started, but I guess I screwed that up. |

Yep, it's still there Ray! It's inside right now getting the blue paint stripe sanded and the black paint stripe painted on.
Will be at least another week to week and a half before it is ready. |
