Thanks Matt, they did a great job on it. I drove it back to Dereberys today, The trailer pulled great. Nice to have breaks again. It's like effortless towing now. As far as finishing the boat, Alternator crank pulleys and finish up the pre-oiler system, install the flame arrestors slap on the Hydro's then find some RPMS.

Here is whats up with that.
Paid $5900.00 + Shipping $1,000.00 + Parts $3,300.00, + Paint $350.00 + labor $9,200.00. I about sh!t! Total $18,850.00. Although they did a great job, thought it was a little high on labor. Ragged I did get you one of those camo hats out of the deal.

Like I said in a previous post, very nice, but WOW, I would have never guessed that much!! You need to get Dererberry to get it finished up and go enjoy it!!!

Good news- project is absolutely suberb VV. World class.

At the same time Yeesh-it oughta be for thise kind of bones.

I'm not a cheap guy by any means, but that sounds high to me. In my head I was guessing 5-7K max for labor.

I was all ready to walk into extreme with your picts and declare - "do this" .......uhh Ill hold off a while now.

That's some bones for sure and my mind is wandering back to the 4-5 guys all standing around someone back in the thread said "union job".

Oh well you can always earn more money, but you can never have enough fun.

we want vids!

As Unki Dave said, top notch but killer labour. They must be slow and trying to make there months end on your bill. Pi$$es me off, I'm still not over your rigging bill yet!
