Hey guys
one of the reasons i got such a good deal on the x-10 was that PO like to tie up at the cove and didn't worry to much about bumpers. just wondering i any one knows some one. its a decent size job. emerald point quoted me 2k for the job. I'm selling the golf and gonna put the money in the boat.
thanks

My Monterey had a few dings and McNeil Marine did a great job, they were very fair too. Ask Brian for a quote.

Hmmm, Evan, could you drop the young man a line regarding a little crazing on the upper half of the hull? Or have him shoot me an email or something? I dont have pics of the problem with me.
Live- I hope you get yours taken care of! Gotta love POs. Mine didnt seem to like to cover her up and resulted in me and a steam cleaner going to town, all day...

Yeah, sorry, was on the phone with the wife and trying to multitask haha. Ok, I have a spot on the nose and one on the...crest.. right behind where the windshield ends that the gelcoat is cracking, from what I am told its called crazing. The spot on the nose is about 18" long and maybe 4" wide, the spot on the side is only about 8" in diameter. From what I gather, you have to strip down the gelcoat and redo in that area. Which sucks. I hope that helps out

Not sure if he any good but have you contacted Five Star Marine in Hudson Bend. They have a fiberglass guy there named Danny who has been at it for a while. I met him at the boat show in January and he seemed knowledgable.

I told Brian at McNeil to check out the board and get in touch with you guys, I guess it depends on how much he wants your business if he gets to you with some quotes.

After my last fiasco with getting some work done there, I wouldn't recommend McNeil anymore
