I brought my boat in for an estimate. I didn't hear from owner Jim for a week I stopped in to check on the status he had torn off the front of the Keel guard, which wasn't part of the work I requested. (estimate of hull damage was what I needed done) After the estimate I had issues and decided it wasn't time to do the current repairs. Jim charged me $1000.00 for the estimate, $3xx of it was for storage which I did not know about and there wasn't a sign anywhere in the shop which states a storage fee. (had I known I would have just picked up my boat after day 1 or 2) I did get fucked in this deal imo but I did not either because now I know NOT to take my boat or recommend this shop to anyone I know. My hull was marked up with chalk and was not cleaned up upon pickup and what seems to me as more damage to my hull prior to dropping it off. I did not have any pictures to prove the before and after. (dremel and fiberglass like a child doodling on the hull inconsistent of scraping rocks and a half ass epoxy job to stick the keel guard back in place)
Jim is very knowledgeable guy and I do not doubt his ability or work but what he did was shotty. I paid him to not ever do business with him in the future ever. Its sad to see there isn't a place you could trust anymore these days.
