Question Trip advice I'm headed to Mitcher T from Mississippi to Middleville, Michigan

I'm in Mississippi headed north on I 55 N.Leaving Thru night. Then hit I 57 then taking a right at Chicago then on I 94 to Mitcher T in Middleville, Michigan,

Do you all have any advice going up there? To me it looks like not much going on along I 57.Then on I 94 looks congested. Thanks for any suggestions.

Have fun

Mitches place is the most laid back operation you will ever see

Mitch will roll out the comfortable rug and you can sit in his office with the dogs and enjoy a laid back atmosphere

Mitch is a great guy and a great painter

You having the Hustler redone ?? Are you towing the boat down there?? I will see Mitch this week as well,not sure if he is coming here or i am headed over to his place. I would love to see your boat if i go his way. We are less than an hour away from each other It is always fun hanging with Mitch and his crew

94 east bound is down to 2 lanes because of construction for about 15 miiles or so, not a big deal. The most traffic you will ecounter will be where 65 and 94 intersect.

I just put the new one on last night, the old one fits better, they changed them,hey shoot me a email Ill send ya some picks of the damage let ya know everything on it.its a x2000 with the scissor hinges,brand new shocks.I had just had to painted 2 weeks before it took flight. $500.00

I can bring it back when I go pick the boat in 2-3 weeks,.Mitch said he can knock it out in 2 weeks,but Ive added some other custom stuff.We will be there Friday.

Yea its been at Aqua Fiberglass here in town since Dec 3rd.they told me 2 months,they had sanded on each panel so it all would have to be done,Aug It wasn't finished and I had to pay to get it out of there I had gave them a big payment in June then they quit working on it,My screw up!! after July first I just wanted it back no matter what,It got nasty.It turned out to be a small project ,then it turned into a screwing,I took it to far down,Pretty much I gutted it,Interior,pulled engines again,I changed out all the transom Assembly's,rebuilt drives,After I got it back I started searching around and knew I wanted a big name painter that was a professional shop and a Good reputation!!That way it would be done Right and in a timely manor. Mitch seems to be a good guy,I think he will take care of me,He has a idea what I went thru,He said he's dealt with picky people before: and he would go back over the other guys work.(Aqua fiberglass said sand scratches are normal in paint/clear)Ive missed this hole year because of a Mississippi so called paint and fiberglass shop,I'm towing it my self.Google maps says 14 hours,Mitch said 17.

Thanks for the info.
Rob
