question? why does he need a cover for inside storage? it's inside? leaky roof? why would water be an issue? next to the boat wash maybe?

LOL...and let's not forget the thrill of discovery?!!?

The answer to your question Boat Doc, if he was some knucklehead off the street i wouldnt have flinched and got my rate...I know what it takes to do this ***************, it aint my first rodeo and i do it day in and day out, not as a hobby. somehow you were making it out as im the bad guy in your hidden agenda and thats without knowing the facts.
Business is business and a line was crossed and i never ever cross that line on this site....
This is my lively hood and this is how i feed my family im not doing this *************** out in my garage
you tell me, did i do a good deed or did i just f-ck another boat owner

number 1....with a good cover on a boat there is no reason it should get water in it
number 2 i told him since you didnt make it to my shop when you told me you would be there i would have to put the boat outside for the week because i have a business to run and i need the room
now...this cover has been on there since day one it is a mooring cover which is suppose to keep the water out..Correct?
number 3. i am not in the business of storing boats inside, heated all winter when they are dropped off in October

why, am i going through these rounds of questions when the writing is on the wall?

I have no control of what happens to a boat when it leaves here, carpet does not just buckle up to where i had to cut 2 inches from it to re-fit it after 2 months of being inside my shop to dry out.
why dont you question the other party involved and lets see what his take is on it and quit badgering me, i did what i was suppose to do, i am a perfectionist and you could look at every single picture in the foam removal topic and see i did...thats why i took pictures and posted every step of the way.
I saw the chain of events as they unfolded it started with bfn calling boat doctor to snivel and boat doctor dragged you into this problem to badger me
I know if i spent this kinda money on a boat to have it fixed i would make damn sure im going to take care of it and maybe you should badger the party involved in doing so....

thanks a million HW

Enough can be enough that is up to Eric. For someone that did everything right he's awful defensive. I never started airing his dirty laundry. Eric, if you would like to try to say I don't care of my boat your wrong. If your going to tell the story about water in the trans tell them how it got there. As for a $600 why would I buy one when it lives in a garage when it is at home. By the way I picked the boat up on the day I said I would. when I talked to you the week before you said you needed a few more days. I said I would call you friday. I missed calling you yes but I never said I was picking it up that friday. By the way when I did pick my boat up you told me it was outside 2 days not three so which is it. Don't worry about my seat. I have it being shipped directly to me. I don't want to take up anymore of your hundred dollar an hour time. But you will be getting the bill for the carpet to be installed correctly. As I paid for that and did not get it.

Quinner, to me your comment & the talk of dirty laundry don't go well together!



Back to the pumpkin patch!

BFN, Where did you get your wood from? I am on the east side of the states as well and about to need some for my project as well.

Riley, I did new epoxied fir stringers, plywood floors and carpet cost me about $1,500 to do myself.

I used Skibum's thread to help me order what I needed and I came out with just about the right amount of material.

A friend of mine restored a beautiful 1937 Elco. He told me that if most people knew what they were getting into up front when they took on an old boat, there'd be no restored old boats.

Hopefully, I'm doing only one secondary stringer, the floor and the carpet, and will be well under $1,000. But, I like the boat, so whatever it costs.

You're starting to sound like Pete.
