Default Gel/Paint Work

Who does the best gel/paint repairs in our area?

Somebody put some stress cracks in my boat and I want to have them repaired.

Roger: Jeff Riss at RPM, has a great guy to do gel work. What do you mean by paint? Colors? Custom? Anyway, this guy only works for dealers and comes to the shop and does it all at the shops. He's NOT cheap, but I seen some of his work and you can't tell where the boo-boo,s were.

He's gonna be comin to the shop in the next couple of weeks to do 4/5 boats. We just spoke about that today. Jeffs # is 815-509-0927, if you get his voice mail, just leave him your message and he WILL call you back.

Roger, if you would drive slower, Peg wouldn't be scatching up the helm.
You may not break as many parts either.

Oh wait, I have the same trouble.

It seems its always something. As soon as I get one thing fixed another thing breaks. Maybe I should check with the Navy and see if I can buy one of those steel boats.

I finally parted with that fantastic wreath the other day. I think that thing would have lasted until Easter.

Drive slower I tried that once and didn't like it.

Hi there Roger....you need to try this. DO NOT by any means carry or hold your check book....anywhere near your boat, trailer or tow vehicle. Don't know HOW it senses when you have a balance in your account....but they do! Especially your boat. Mark also writes his $$ balance reeeallll lightly in pencil in his check book, and NEVER carries it with him to Hammond. "Mrs. Cig"

I spoke to him about a week ago and he said he was working on it. The carpet has been ordered. I don't understand why but when people get away from Chicago they like to work at a different pace Kind of lay-ed back and slow I don't get it

Patty

My check book has been in the red since I bought this boat. Its even taken some blood a time or two but I'm not going to give in. We are going to have a good time anyway.
