Re: Guess he got over the \"Hosing\"
Nat spent over 6 weeks re-glassing major structural damage, and is still finding leaks. Seller (whoever that was surely not billybob) claimed that the delam was just "surface stuff." The unannounced damage added thousands of dollars to the redo, and literally weeks of additional work. I don't think Nat would have bought the boat if the extent of the damage has been known. Not saying the previous owner knew about it (could have been the previous previous owner) but I saw under that delam and someone smoked something at speed and it was never repaired correctly. 5K was a good price, agreed. I don't think the price was ever an issue. It was that a lot more work was needed to get the boat seaworthy than was originally stated.
Anyway. He did a great job, boat is back on the water. Billybob, you find a 20 to redo yet? He still has your old OMC225 if you want to buy it back, which would fit nicely on a 20 I saw out in Chatham. I can forward you the guys contact info. "margaritaville" or something on the side. It's behind the gas station, next to ocean state job lob on 28, if anyone else knows anything about that boat.
Also, you got any pics of the el camino? Looking forward to seeing that beast when you get it done!
