Default Bay Performance?

I was driving around North East yesterday and came upon a place called Bay Performance Marine. http://www.bayperformanceinc.com/

Anyone know anything about them?

How about the prices and service? I tried to buy a bunch of stuff from him when I was rigging my boat and it was like pulling teeth to get prices, then when I did get the prices I figured out why . Emails with whoever was at the other end was a long period of time between response. I did not have any issues, although I never bought anything either. I know Jeff J and the SW crew follow him, so he must be good to work with, Right???????

Thanks Bobby. If I move up the North East I may have to make friends even though I do my own work.

There was a nice flat deck 36' Cig painted silver in the parking lot. It looked like a nice resto. Couple other Fountains there too.

Bay Performance takes care of all my graphic-paint/mechanical needs for both my Fountain and Skater for the past few years. I would recommend Norm to anyone who wants custom work with personal attention at a reasonable price.

Thanks Norm. I'll make a point of stopping by to introduce myself. I'm also a good source of referrals. At one point I referred roughly 10 engine builds to a friend.

Where are you located? I'm new to the area and looking at real estate nearby.
