Man you guys need to find a new shop.

Be carefull when you go to drop that boat in the water. Stereo's are nice, but a bad install can burn down the whole boat. There was a Mastercraft that burned up on the Lewisville ramp just last week. Keep the fire extinguisher close and be very carefull first time out with new stereo. I've gotten to the point of just carrying a mobile radio for the sole reason that I don't want hot amps and loose hot wires bouncing around if I decide to go wave busting in a 30mph wind.

Same here. Just waiting for my engines to come back from the builder. My Superchargers will be in this week. I am hoping to be back on the water by mid June.

I feel your pain. I had taken some parts to a powder coating shop first week in December 2011. Told me they would have done in 3 weeks at most. That turned into 3 1/2 months. Last month I was going by every other day. They finally got tired of seeing and hearing from me so they finished up the parts.
