it's all funny until someone loses an eye ;D


I didn't get a chance to talk to Cobb's marine today. I posted this question on tidalfish.com (Thanx Kajun) and I got a few positive responses about Tynes marine. Also, it seems Cobb's has had past difficulty getting their quotes straight, but nothing bad about workmanship. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to swing by Cobb's during lunch (didn't really get lunch today). Tynes happens to be no where near Cobb's so I may not get down there until later in the week.

Thanks for all the help offers, and once I get a game plan together I'll let y'all know where and when the beer and pizza can be found ;D
