Its sheer bloody lazy sloppy unforgivable behaviour. At the very least the painter should have flagged that so that it could have been dealt with at that time. Did I already mention how much I DON'T miss haulouts. Its not just boatyards BTW - I do virtually 100% of my own vehicle maintenance and home renovations. Whatever I do hire out I micromanage - I'm sure the contractor ends up wishing I had done the job.

That was the hull/deck only, and this time it's the whole boat including the house. Realistically the coating system on a boat should last a decade, but the guys who did the work in 2017 did not do enough prep work and we had corrosion starting to reappear in less than three years. This is why we chose a more experienced yard this go-round.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17930398671280529448noreply@blogger.com
