Re: Bottom Job
Where are you in Florida, or are you going to do this in the Abacos?

Re: Bottom Job
Some use the boat yard in Marsh and some use the one on Man O War. Green Turtle works for others. I'd call them all with a description of the boat and what you want done. One thing I would not do, is leave the boat in storage and expect it to be done by a certain day. If you are there from what I gather it makes quite a difference.

Re: Bottom Job
I have never boated over there, but when I was in Freeport last fall, I noticed that Bradford had a yard there with many private yachts on the hard. No idea if that is helpful at all, just an observation.

Re: Bottom Job
Freeport is sort of off the path to the Abacos unless you are going up from Lauderdale Miami and intend to do the canal up to Dover Sound and around to the Abacos. Sure you can hit them going around "hole in the wall" but windows to go that route are not as frequent. Besides if you are doing the Exumas on this pass coming in from the Abacos makes better sense. Maybe the fuel charge might pay to have it done in Freeport if it is cheaper.

Re: Bottom Job
I'd recommend R&B in Spanish Wells. Speak with Robert, the owner. Did a friend's stretched 75' Hatt in November and did a great job. We were there the entire week while they did the work and I was impressed with them.
