And the story continues.... and gets worse....
I checked with the owner of Salty Dog Custom Canvas and asked him at the end of February if the interior was done. Mind you, he started this project in June 2017, which is NINE months ago. He told me that it will be complete at the end of March. So, I reminded him that on 2/2/18, he told me that the boat would be done the end of February. I then said that he should pardon me if I acted a bit disappointed about it. His answer was one word..... "Pardoned". This rubbed me the wrong way and I reminded him that he's blown four separate deadlines. And we are into Month Number Nine!
A couple of days later, he tells me via text that his office landlord came by and wanted all of the boats gone from in front of his office. He has thrown all of the completed bow cushions and the rest of the parts and material into my boat and wants me to come get it. Captain chairs? Not finished. Bench seat? Not finished. Sundeck/Engine cover? Not done. Remember...... NINE MONTHS!
He texted me later and said that there was a guy a few storefronts down that does auto upholstery. He could finish the job.....
I am not dealing with this anymore. He got half the quoted money up front ($1500.00) and he's not getting a dime more..... My Mariah comes out of there Monday and I'll have to find someone else on Monday. And we're going to discuss the quality of what he did complete. I see puckered seams, bad folds in the corners and just shoddy work. Originally, I gave him a photo of an antique car and I wanted my new boat interior to emulate it:
What I got those many months later was the following:
And if you zoom into the cushions, you'll see the problem areas......
