Does anyone know a good fiberglass shop in Orange County or in California for that matter- I (my wife) wants me to take her to Parker for our annaversery (July 24-27) and by the sound of a couple shops- I will be looking at Augest.

I took the motor off to make the repair easier but I could build a boat myself by Augest.......... Help!!!

Havasu Barney is a good guy that always seems to want to help a fellow hot boater, I saw him sat night at river daves place and he had brought Jrocket a prop down from Havasu.

Give him a call and talk to him about your boat. :good

You two are very local.... and we share a birthday... That makes us Twins..

Check out the post about the party at the Knuckleheads... It's a Gemini party/OP6 warm up.

Did you get everything taken care of? Who did you decide to go with for the repairs? HD said you had more damage than what the picture showed.

Jim at Jim Wilkes Marine, Santa Ana was supposed to look at my boat yesterday- I borrowed my wifes Tahoe- took the crashed boat to work with me, and by noon Jim wasn't there. I left my # twice, then finally I drove there anyway to leave the boat for him to look at. When I get there I am told he was at lunch, (20 mins earlier he wasn't there yet....lunch???)
So I leave and wait for his call.....and then waited all day today.......
I can't stand shops like this- But actually the idiot did me a favor because with a start like this I know how the next 2 months would have gone- I have since been told that shop is SLOW and the work is marginal at best, so my boat will NOT be going there- :ass

Thanks Jim!!!!!!
