    FL Restoration Recommendations

    My pops and I started tearing apart our boat 3 father's days ago. Since then I've had two kids, bought a house and pops has had 2 stints put in his heart. With Sunday marking a full 365 days since the boat has been touched, it's finally time to have a reality check and find someone to get her back together. (Currently down to the stringers)

    The boat is located in Parrish, FL but I travel for work around the state and wouldn't mind taking her out of the area for the right person/shop. The link to my "build" thread is below if you want to see pictures.

    I appreciate any suggestions y'all may have!

    What finish level work are you looking for? I know a shop here in Pompano that does amazing work but they are not the cheapest around.

      Ed Pic at Epic in Largo does great work, but not sure if he is still doing it. He restored a Bertram 25 for a neighbor that turned out beautifully.

      It all depends on what you want done as well. There are a ton of places in Salt Creek in St. Pete that could do it.

                All, thank you for all the recommendations! I have been out of the state all week and just checking this. I will start calling around next week and getting an idea on availability and lead times.

                I'll keep you all posted!

                  Can you give me that shop name. Have a flats boat that is overdue for some cosmetic work and would like to use someone local.

                    Texas 17,

                    Its interesting that you wrote Sold with regrets on your oldest and smallest boat. Why? What was the connection to that one? I like my 19 but always looking.
