[NEEDTOFISH]

HAS ANYONE HAD THERE BOAT REDONE IN THE MIAMI AREA. AND WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE TO YOUR BOAT.

[Mr. P-Reaux]

NEEDTOFISH,

I see this is your first post. Welcome to the forum. I don't know anything about the Miami area, but I wanted to welcome you aboard. One piece of constructive criticism: Please turn off your caps-lock; it makes you look as if you are mad and/or screaming.

I hope you have a great experience here.

Thank you,

Patrick M. Ring

thanks for welcoming me.

has anybody on the forum had this work done to there 282 out of the area. I just drop off my boat this week for them to do this repair. they said it was going to take about 2 weeks.

I don't know what they plan to do to repair the situation... but I sure as heck would like to know what they are planning to do... Take some before and after pixs of the bilge/transom areas so we can figure this out.

I have a friend with a '98 282 that just had the recall work done in Palm Beach. He got the boat back about a month ago (think they had it around 6 weeks.) I'll see if I can get him to jump on here and give some more insight.

Thats my 98 Harleyg8r is talking bout. I did the recall service at palm beach boat sales (thats who mako pointed me to). They had the boat for 8 weeks, i was told it would take 4-6weeks. Overall, i am extremely satisfied with the recall service. Everything is derigged (pumps, motors, transducers)anything in the bilge. They grind out the old fiberglass and put a support kit in and then re-epoxy everything thicker then pre recall. Everything looks neat and tidy now. The problems i ran into with mako (and i am currently still dealing with) are the replacement of items in the bilge that they had to cut out in order to do the recall (fuel lines, thru-hull fittings etc.) I was told that there was no cost to me by both the dealer and mako, when i showed up to get the boat that wastn the case. Overall though, it's a great oppurtunity to beef up the transom and clean up your bilge.
