Dude I'm pulling my hair out. Sometimes I just ride by the shop real slow like I waiting for my old girl friend to accidently walk out while I'm passing by so I could wave at her just one more time. Its freaking miserable. I was there Friday to get my engine compartment fire extinguisher out and she has a freaking big scratch about 8 inch's long right up on the bow. The last time she was there she got one right in the middle of her about 6 inch's long. I'm about to flip out over it all. I know its not a 50' MTI but Jesus its like they could care less. I spent 3500 wet sanding and buffing the boat out three times and now she is getting the crap beat out her just setting in the shop. I'm trying to hold it together Jake but its getting harder all the time.

Just hope when you get the boat and run it you will meet all your expectations. I know that Potter doesn't come cheap.
The best of luck to you.

I hope this doesn't drag out into another nightmare story. Make them properly fix the scratch. There is no excuse for that from a reputable shop. I wish you the best and keep us informed.

Wish they paid as much attention to moving stuff around as they did to painting the flywheels that you'll never see... I can't understand taking the time and effort or even having the extra time to put a finish on a damn flywheel, yet the boat gets scratched twice while there.

Cross your finger fellas this is supposed to be week we get the tails in. Hope the mail jeep doesn't have a blow out or something. My luck we will some sort of terrorist crap and the tails will be grounded for a month in the far western corner of Arizona or something. Everyone cross your fingers.

Well spoke Ron again today he tells me the tails will be in Wednesday of Thursday this week. And another month slides by on this project. This is week 4 since we ordered the pipes. I'm betting they don't touch it till Monday even if they come in Wednesday. Anyone want to bet $10.00 on it. I would love to loose 10.00 on this bet.

I'm sure it sucks now but you ought to have a killer setup for years to come.
Good things come to those who wait!
