What can anyone tell me about Bribie Island Fibreglass. i had a transom installed by them and now it has cracked and he has flown the coop?

Thanks burleygu. i had his name mentioned to me when i was finding another glasser but i have gone with Moreton Bay Marine services. so far they have been excellent.

how did the transom crack before you even put the motor on? I would be chasing the guy to the ends of the earth to get my money back.

yeah Mitch will look after you,

We used the other company for an insurance repair and was dodgy as hell,

there was up to 15mm of bog between the orignial fibreglass sides of the boat to the "structural ply" transom. another words, the new transom he cut was smaller in size than the original cut out. then 1 layer of glass over everything. the new transom did not even go to the bottom of the boat. so all in all, the motor would have been only secured by the head of the top mount bolts through original glass, and 1 layer of glass. very lucky i didnt take the boat out for a trial and his poor workmanship was spotted.
