Yeah, John Trost of John Trost & Associates is excellent...

I've worked with him for many years when I had my dive/salvage/repair business...

He's a big time blow boater, but knows all boats inside and out and he is well respected...a very, very personalable guy..

He also does alot of work for the ins. companies and you need a relationship with a guy like that to get through any claims problems...

I don't have his phone# with me at the moment, but I will post and PM you with same...

Well, just got a call from Dennis, all is setup for Sunday morning.... Very cool guy.

Chris, he relayed your message!! lol, he said he was chatting with your dad, and that you were buggin' him to get back to me... lol

Very cool guy, no sweat on the delay, its prime season right now for him, so I know he is running around crazy.

Everyone thanks for the input, Chris, thanks for the phone call!!

No problem!

If you ever need anything at all feel free to give me a call!

Well, just got back from meeting with Dennis this morning. All is good. Stingers and Transom are nice and dry, we talked for quite a while, and he gave me all sorts of tips and tricks....

Dennis is the man, great guy to deal with, super cool.

Thanks everyone for the input, now its time to put the drive back on (just changed bellows) and get her wet!
