Ralph, I used Osprey marine composites in Deale, MD (located in Herrington Harbor North) for a bottom job and installing a bow thruster tube a few years ago - they knew there stuff and were flexible with letting me do some of the work myself (to reduce cost). They were not cheap but seemed in line with others around the bay. Point Lookout Marina in southern MD has a pretty good reputation although I have not used them for major work - I know several happy customers of bottom jobs but don't know if they have done deck replacements or interior wood work. Good luck, Mike HALFTIME Herndon, VA -----Original Message----- From: Ralph Estes [mailto:estes@american.edu] Sent: Thursday, April 18, 2002 3:49 PM To: trawler-world-list@samurai.com Subject: TWL: Trawler repair in Chesapeake Bay area Would you mind sending me a short note if you have any particularly good - or bad - experience with facilities doing major trawler repairs in the Chesapeake Bay area. I'm thinking about replacing teak decks with fiberglass, removing blisters, redoing some interior furnishings, on a 34' Marine Trader. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Without your experience, I almost have to flip a coin. Best regards, Ralph Estes (estes@american.edu)
