The guy who did it is fully capable of doing amazing work and does, in fact he has had some of his car interiors end up in magazines. If you look at pics of my 1979 28SS he did an amazing job 100% complete on time. It is more the time frame in which he did the work his lack of keeping any kind of schedule on this project, and boat interior is still not done I don't have my cup holders for back seats made yet, I don't have my grab bars back yet which should have been done back in February when I first dropped off.
I still do not have my cover, which should have been done first! There is a reason I started interior in February so it would be done by boating season.
We are on 6 months and still not done 100%
I just am still undecided with the design, which I approved for the standups, just not sure how I feel about them yet. I love the back seat and I think the pad will look great with a Cigarette Logo ,which will be done over winter.
For example, he says drop boat off in beginning of May while I am in Miami on vacation and he will finish boat up, well that turned into 6 weeks of my boat sitting outside uncovered with nothing getting done and nothing but excuses, which that then turned into paying to have deck cleaned up as it sat under a tree for the whole time, which he decided to power wash which forced a bunch of dirt and mud into my clean cabin.... these are the issues.
I will get some pics up next week right now boat is getting cables replaced so I can shift in reverse with one hand LOL.

Thank you, I am really enjoying the boat, a little bit of getting used to but I love it. Looks like 67 is the top speed, I am considering 525's for next year.
