Here is a good one, So, the yard where my new to me boat was stored for it's
entire life, did all, or supervised all the work on this boat. The PO was
actually an owner of the yard! I had to listen to the yard manager/partner
talk about how great his reputation was and how good his work is and lecture me
on my electrical tester and even said that my electrical crimper (yes the one
Wally recommended) was not correct for the task. Now as get further and
further into the boat, I'm finding wire connections with nothing but tape, some
residential barrel connectors with not even tape over them, taped joins in the
bilge, hoses disconnected and left plugged off laying in the bilge, wires
disconnected with just tape on the end... and this is just the superficial
investigation... All the talk in the world won't make shoddy work better... I
really have a hard time trusting anyone to work on my stuff either. On the
other hand, when I was still out in the field doing plumbing, I always found
I'd rather pull things back just a bit further and do a better job than to try
and patch things up and get out of there. I really haven't met too many people
with that attitude. Of course I never owned the company, I was always on the
payroll and I just did my best to avoid a call back. So, I guess it really as
much self preservation as doing right by a customer. That and knowing that
doing it right is always less of an ass ache than trying to hack it... IMHO
...I'd let me work on my house!! LOL Danny

I agree with you Mike. The previous owner of my C&C 33II (boat was named
Pelagic) had most of the work done by "professionals" at one of the large
marinas in Halifax. Some of the repairs I have uncovered make me shake my head,
shoddy to say the least. I do all my own work on the boat now and it's done
right. Mike AmiraultC&C33 MKii Lovely CruiseSt Margarets Bay
