Boat is still in for interior. PPI is doing a fantastic job, we have been there twice for fitting. The goal is to have our heads supported but nor pushed forward. Maybe a couple more weeks.

Well, here we are a month later. 2 months at the interior shop, still not done. Unbelievable to me, I am an industrial electrical contractor, your Cement Plant is down, it’s costs $45,000 an hour for downtime, when do you want it running again? One month, two months, 3 months. Nope, they want it all, and they want it NOW. That’s when they get it to, NOW. There is absolutely no sense of urgency in the Marine business. I will always buy a used boat in the future.

i can't imagine waiting this long but I see and have experienced some of how things work in this industry and it seems to be the norm... delays from the start. INCREDIBALE!!! I would love to build a boat but I see so many horror stories out there that I just don't think I want to even attempt it.
