Well, IF you do have to go through the legal arena, just make sure you don't have an attorney named "Frito"...:lolhit:

Change your last name to Clinton, and then all you have to do is play dumb and you will not be convicted for anything. No lawyers needed.

Skip the electronics, go get the boat and use it.

Along those lines I agree, I'd have yanked it out of there long ago. If the electronics is just stereo...who cares, motors sound better than music any day. If the electronics are integral to boating then get it there asap.

Regarding contracts...again who cares. All they do is involve lawyers, wrap up your boat in expensive litigation, and even in the event of a judgement good luck getting cash. The contract on this level is only as good as the parties signing them. If one or both have little integrity you're screwed anyway. Been there done that and all I did was contribute to my lawyers Porsche.

Remember back in college working construction, we had a few contracts where every week late it was a 10% discount off the agreed price. After a month it pretty much jumped to 50% off and only allowed to pay for materials at that point. Needless to say there was some motivation there.

Then again dropping a boat off between may and sep around here is a crap shoot, good luck getting back before the end of the season.

OK I can't let this go any longer, this post was to tell people to protect themselves by getting all expectations on a written contract for work to be performed. I do not need or have intentions of getting a lawyer, the work was ok but the hassles and, extra money, and time have all but killed my season. I still am pushing to go to Emerald coast poker run but it is not looking good.

I feel your pain, but I have grown to have a LOT of patience, and very little expectations. Almost never commit to a date. If you're like me, you will use this same boat next year, and many years to come so you want it to be done right. Sorry they're behind, but most of all sorry they aren't doing a good job, that would be my biggest complaint.
