A Good Deal ???
 

Even though I came home empty handed from the boat store today, I did meet a guy who does custom tee tops and other alum. work. We spoke for abit and found out that he is a diver as well. So he is interested in doing work on my boat in return for my underwater Dacor scooter, ....some of my 007 diving toys ;D .
Now I paid $1700.00 for my underwater scooter. Whats the cost of a hard top ???, about the same ??

Re: A Good Deal ???
 

yeah you can get one for that

Re: A Good Deal ???
 

Sounds good, but LOOK at some of his work B4 you ''seal the deal''...you know he's gettin' a good scoooter...what are you gettin'??.... ;)...

Re: A Good Deal ???
 

yea make sure up front that what you want is what you getting!! Is it going to be SS or Aluminum, and make sure the aluminum is good stuff!!

Like reep said look at his work!! Just because the guy can weld don't mean he can do it good!!
These things take a beaten and them welds can crack on a good build let alone a bad one.

but the price is in the ball park!! Good Luck!! And we want Pictures!!

I heard of this guys name more then once at the local boat yard and even the boat stores. Young kid as well. Seen his work and this boy can lay a nice weld. So a trade might be in the dealings for a tee top. Maybe. I already have the bim top and really only need the front, sides and back, but that can be costly as well since its all custom work.
He use's all alum. and charges $65.00 an hour plus material. So depending on the amount of hours involved, I might have him build one of two rear swim/dive platforms instead of going with wooden teak platforms along with a nice boarding rail to hold onto when stepping off teh platform and up over the stern. Need something to balence yourself with all that dive gear on.

As yo can see in the pictures. I hump alot of gear on my back. Need a strong dive platform.
