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.
