San Diego boat yards.

I'm having my 37C trucked to San Diego. Mid Dec. I will need the hard top reinstalled once it arrives and have the boat splashed. Any recommendations?

Scarlett lives and plays in San Diego. Once he’s up and online he will give you the best spot to pull her out.

I’m here, Shelter Island Boat Yard is the best. They use independent contractors that have shops in the yard for the work. Try Klausen Marine, Kenny Klausen, his guys are great with that stuff. The yard stays extremely busy year round so schedule in advance if you can. John

Thanks for the recommendation. Boat is leaving Mobile 12/7. Anticipate 7 day travel time. Need them to install hardtop and props then put me in the water.

Then off to Ensenada for bottom paint and a few minor repairs. Hard to beat $28.00 labor rates.

I second Shelter Island Boatyard. Klausen has done work for me too and have not disappointed.

I’ve had good experience with Driscoll’s. In fact I once had a problem with a fuel tank replacement they did and they took it back and repaired to my liking with no hassle at all. Did I see however that you are destined for Ensenada? If so, why not use Baja Naval and save a bunch of money?

Hate to ruin anybody’s plans, but before you commit to Baja Naval you should check there prices against the San Diego yards, friends have found there prices about the same, biggest advantage of using Mexican yards may be the availability of paints that are now banned in Ca., however I know that Baja Naval buys most of there stuff from West Marine in San Diego.

The trip to Ensenada is for Bottom paint and a few other repairs at Baja Naval. Trucking the boat from Mobile Ala. so the hard top and outriggers will be removed and will need to be reinstalled and boat splashed in Ca. Trucking into Mexico would create a whole new set of issues I chose not to deal with.
