I found some other Dutchies in the same area as the other guys and recently looked at some of thier finished work on a 28ft century, they did the 2 front seats, the gunnel pads, and the rear seats including replacing the wood and the foam and charged the guy $500.00, i would put there work against any that i have ever seen, It truly is top qaulity even using high qaulity zippers. And to boot they made him a mooring cover from sunberella from the glass back and that was $300.00 which pissed me off because i gave a guy a deal on a trans and he only as he said... am only charging you $585.00 for your mooring cover.the Amish double stitched and used heavier thread and was twice the quality of mine.
here is the number and address Jim: Millers tarp shop, 75 TR391, Sullivan, Ohio 44880-9724 419-651-5116 |

Miller's have done some work for me (cover repair and custom bimini), and I can vouch for their work. Top notch, and real reasonable.

I need to take my back seat and sun deck pads to get recovered, I'll wait till i pull the boat here in the next couple weeks.
Glen, your right Ive seen alot of thier work and as i said they made a mooring cover for this guy and it was twice the quality of the guy that did mine and half the cost |

i doubt it unless you have some old ones to go by, I plan on making one trip and taking alot of things with me, anyone that needs something done we can set a date to have all the stuff here at my shop and I'll go out and work something out with him and let him give me an iron clad completion date, i find the bigger the bill the more someone wants to get it done, so if anyone has interest of having something done please post the request and then we;ll go from there. I know James Bragg's has had some interest in getting his interior done and Im sure there would be some type of group discount. I vouge for these guys they do professional work and alot of times better work then I've seen on some new boats (not CC's)

Eric,
I would love to have front and rear seats done as well as a heavy-duty cover made. I also have the interior of my other (brand name deleted to protect the innocent)ski boat that I would like to have done - driver seat, L-shaped observer seat and back seat. I'm planning on bringing you the SkiTique the weekend of Oct 13-14, but that is me assuming either of those days will work for you. My plan is to start the drive from DC Friday night and get as close as I can so I can drop the boat off before noon on Saturday the 13th. Will that work for you? If not, I can swap the Johnson City, Tennessee trip that is planned for Oct 7-8 (Sunday - Monday - Columbus Day). Thanks, Mike |

Thanks Eric, I'll give you a call the next day or two.
Looks like the TN trip is confirmed Oct 7-8. I don't want to hang you up, I just want to get it to you before the salt hits the pavement. Thanks, Mike |

Mike, call anytime, people call and they think they are bothering me, Im like the Boat doc, i'll sit on the phone for hours and shoot the sh*t |

they do take UPS i would imagine,a call down there might help, Ryan i will inflate the charge to $1.20 a mile on jobs and sure as sh*t the surveyor or adjuster will knock me down to what i normally charge. per mile which is .80
They work for the insurnace companies and they go back to thier bosses and tell them i got the guy to do the job cheaper...it makes them feel good lol James, looks like sometime in November, I have a couple more big jobs i need to start and finish, Im still reaping the benefits of my best friend......shallow water lol |

I was down to Miller's last Saturday for a nip and tuck on my cover. Sam took care of me just as always.
I asked if you guys had been there, and obviously you hadn't. When I asked, Sam said that his brother, Aaron is doing the vinyl work now. I guess Aaron has his shop just down the road a little. Good luck!! |

Eric,
Did you go yet? I was hoping to get out there this weekend, maybe even tomorrow. Are you getting snow like Accuweather is reporting? I'd rather not pull the trailer through snow. Thanks, Mike |
