I have not had anything done with Metan, besides talk to mike, he seems like a very straight guy though. Just wanted to clear that up.

Mike Borelli of Metan Marine had a fully restored 23' Seacraft on display at the Boston in the water boat show last year and I must say I was impressed. He did teh following to the boat:

Retabbed and refoamed stringers
Installed a new two layer composite deck that raised deck height by one inch
Faired and painted hull with Fighting Lady Yellow Awlcraft
Installed a beautiful teak bulkhead under the bow cap
Installed a marine head in the fish locker
Rewired everything
New gas tank
New non skid with original Seacraft pattern
New transom

Yadda.yadda.yadda. The boat was gorgeous. I am guessing the owner spent $70k total including the new Suzuki 250 4 stroke.

I was just in his shop on Monday pricing out the electrical for a new spray booth setup, he has some stuff that'll make ya drool for sure. I asked him about pricing and such on a resto but have received nothing in the mail as of late. He had a 23 they just converted to an I/O from an outboard model He also told me he just finished working a deal to perform all warranty work on the new Sea Crafts. All in all he seemed like a straight shooter

Sorry about that Elijah, I thought you had him do some of the work on your boat. I must have confused him with the other shop in his complex.

I had the chance to talk with Mike a couple years ago. He certainly knows boat restoration, and he knows SeaCrafts very well too.
