Is it realistic that a boatyard can not offer an estimate for the repair of

Who are some high quality honest companies?


If you can find a yard that will even consider pulling a wooden boat,
much less work on it, kiss the yard owner's rear end and get on with it.

Around here, if you can find a yard that will allow you to bring in a
wood boat, expect to post a cash bond of at least $10,000 to cover the
cost of getting rid of it when you abandon it.
