Works seven days a week mid 60's and no suit.lol gets his hands dirty and he makes lots of cool things. He knows his stuff and he has one guy that does car, bike and toy stuff. From what I saw this is a walk in the park for them. And the owner let's him do it for cash :-)
Awesome. Hope they do it nice and purty.
They will. He gave me a tour. They do allot of pharmaceutical valves. Lots of dairy and factory valving. Lots of pipe runs. They are very well known for there work. Can't wait to get it back. My boat looks so odd without it. Going to try to take the 222 out tomorrow if the wind holds back. I need to burn the gas in there out to get some fresh stuff in there before W.

Ok let's say I'm glad this happened when it did. The end of the season. I'm in no hurry thank god. They have the tube and the bend. They are super busy doing there manufacture contracts. He said in a few weeks the one guy will start on it so that means months.lol I'm confident they will get her back together again like humpty dumpty. I told him I didn't want to pick it up in the winter because of the salt. I'm hoping it's done by the Milwaukee boat show in January and I'll bring it back with me. As long as I have it by April I don't care.

Yea I'm a patient Person when I know when to be. I've left them some messages as I asked for two updates about a month apart and got answers right away each time. So all good. He says it's wrapped up in the corner.
