TERRIBLE boat restoration

[Bigfishes1]

So I need some ideas/advice on how to proceed concerning the quality of work performed on my boat. So here's the short version of what happened. I initially took the boat to a local "boat re-builder" to fix gouges, chips and scratches in the hull, replace the carpet, and re-do the top cap. The quality of work done is terrible, I took it back and they tried again. The quality again is terrible, I mean these men should be embarrassed. Anyway yesterday after work I was fixing the trailer lights (which worked when I dropped the boat off) I discovered the tip of one of the screws used to mount the hot foot sticking through the hull. Short of violence or property damage does anyone have any advice?????

If someone put a screw through the hull of my boat I would be back on their doorstep with a bad attitude and request for them to fix it or better yet to pay for someone who is actually good at it to fix.  Either way they would certainly get to see it and me.

Even on a Sunday morning.  No answer they can give would suffice for myself on why or how that happened. And the fact that they sent the boat with you with those, or any defects is beyond acceptable. Good luck but don't feel obligated to return to the same shop that has already had 2 chances. Good luck.

Also should mention that there will be several on here that will say to share on social media the name of the business to inform others. That's your choice, but myself, I would be there tomorrow explaining to them that I was upset, lost fishing time, time fixing lights, and want to take it to another shop to have fixed, and you are requesting them pay for that repair bill. Doubtful they do that, but spreading the word on these forums will hurt them more than them paying the next bill for you.

This is just my opinion, if it was a insurance job, contact the insurance company with pictures and let them handle it, if not, you most likely need a lawyer

For future repairs---I have used Tom at Championship Marine in Spokane and though he did a good job.
