Boat in workshop at 9am done by 1:30pm - believe it?

Am I impressed or what!

Put the boat in for repair Thursday morning  9am and had it back by lunch! Yes it's true!
Additionally, the repairer didn't just grind and re-weld ....
But added in extra aluminium bar to strengthen the whole keel

Best thing yet only cost me a little more than twice the cost of last repair
But.....
Instead of the 20cm hairline crack repair of last time or the 45cm I thought this current crack to be
This hairline crack ended up being 120cm long once he got into it
So 6 times the length and only a bit more than twice the previous price - plus extra support for the keel added

It's a little bulky under there but the guy fixed so I don't have to come back - that's great service!

So all the bits are going back in this Sunday - decks, fuel tanks batteries etc
Hoping to get a new sounder/GPS combo to put in while this happening

So this means I might actually be in the water within the week, maybe even a calm weekday afternoon.

 Look out fish!

If you're after someone to do some aluminium work, can't recommend this guy enough.
