Hi Everyone,
New guy here. Been reading this forum for awhile and have a couple of questions. We have a 20' BR that we just had the deck and stringers replaced. Well, I'll try to keep this short. When I took it in I was reassured that the new wood would be glassed. I had removed all the seats,sun deck, trim, etc. The estimate was $1300-1400, which turned to$2200 with a call to us for OK. The boat was finished and the bill was $3300 !!! Another $1100, without notifying us
. Anyway , pick-up the boat, cover it up and wait for warm weather. I get to looking at the work and can tell the deck isn't glassed , just raw edges @ bilge. I pull up some of the new carpet and all there is is carpet glue. I called the boat shop and am told that's the way they do it. I tell them that's not what I was told prior to work. He said-She said. Sorry for the long rant,but I need a couple of answers. Assuming they want to make it right(or better) what would be the best for the $ already spent. Would pulling the carpet and epoxying the PT ply be OK. This would leave the underside raw and also the stingers and cross supports which I'm sure weren't encapsulated . Or should I push for them to basically re-do the whole shebang. Thanks for any input.
