Hard at Work!

What did you do today? Go Skiing? Spend the day at Work? Call in "Sick"? I can say that you were not working on your boat! That's what we do! Today we finished up two boats and swapped them out for two more boats that need some routine maintenance!

We have been busy moving about 2 boats a week in and out of the shop working on things like; complete engine tune ups to fixing faulty gauges and everything in-between!
