Dave,
Mark is a great guy and as honest as the day is long. I used him for my props 4 years ago. He actually told me, your props look good, I don't think you need me to do anything. I told him thanks, but this boat is new to me so just take them off and balance them, maybe a waste of money, but I need a starting point. I forgot he does welding. Called him today, on the welding end he is running a month behind because of the bad weather and a huge tower his people are building for a boat in Montauk. He actually reccomended to me Marie in Lindenhurst if I could not wait. How nice was that? I have a little ding on my port prop, he said he would look at that Friday to see if I should be concerned with that.
As mentioned, great guy!
