Hey Guys and Gals,
I think from time to time we are all faced with having to get stuff done on our boats. In all fairness there are some out there that are just willing to rip people off, do the wrong thing which leaves a bad taste in our mouths.
As some Ausfisher's would know, we have a 195 Allison Vision.
The Hull is a '97 model, we bought her about 3-4 years ago.
In this time the paint was getting a lil worse for ware and the stitching
on the covers were starting to pull, the clears were no longer clear,
the anti-foul needed doing again and she was up for her 50hr service.
So I would like say a very big Thanks and give a bit of a referral so
others on here have a idea on where to go and have an idea of what these guys are like.
First on the agenda was the detailing, I couldn't be a happier with the service that our own Dave "Blackened". I have had the boat detailed in the past and let me say that the end result from Dave was fantastic. He has truly brought her up looking like new.
Second was replacing the clears and re stitching the covers. I took her down to
Rowland street boat trimmers. Gary down there has done a awesome job of
mending lil tears and tightening the canvas and making sure that all the loose buttons now stick and the clears are actually clear now.
Third and finally. Was the Anti-fouling. I rang around and got quoted some absolutely stupid prices. The guy that previously did the anti fouling doesn't do it any more I really felt stuck. He recommended me to Ship to Shore, I spoke with
John there and he was cheeky and confident. Whilst the boat was there I asked him to fix up a crack in the fiberglass where the battery goes and do a couple of other lil things as well. The communication from him was superb. I received a number of phone calls making sure that the job was getting done how I wanted and not short cutting any corners.
I picked up the boat today and let me tell you she is looking great. Just in time for the good weather this week end. Out of all this I have received exceptional service. All have delivered what was discussed prior to accepting the job, to top it all off if has cost a few bickies but I have received value for money. I can honestly say that all of the above have been fair and reasonable on price.
I would just like to make others aware of the treatment that I received so they too can be as happy as I am with everything that has been done.
Big Thanks Guys
