2 seasons ago I took our Fountain to Nabbers to have the bottom reblueprinted, the complete transom replaced, and he cut out the (5) original stringers in the bilge and replaced them with (9). Had a bunch of work done to the trailer too. All in all, he did everything that I expected him to do, PLUS some extra "touch up" stuff that I asked after the job was started. Only thing I can say, is that he told me it'll be done in a 3-4 weeks, and it took about 5-6. But, it was in November, so I did'nt care. The work turned out GREAT.

try Joe Bitner in Lakemoor. Small operation but some of the best work I'v seen. He has worked on some serious equipment and is a perfectionist.

Why drive so far when Nabers is in your back yard, he is doing a top Gun for us now and because he is so good and everyone keeps taking stuff to him its taking him 2 years to build our new hull. But the guy does do some magic.
