Title: Have you had your hull (topsides) painted locally?
Post by: svShearwater on October 21, 2013, 06:18:33 AM
Looking for recommendations for someone to paint (Awlgrip or similar) the topsides of Shearwater.  I tried contacting a couple of companies I've found locally, but didn't get any responses, so maybe I should go the route of recommendations instead.  I've seen some bright shiny hulls on some of the older boats around, so I know some of you have done this. 

Thanks,

Justin

Tom at Waterline Works has done more than a few around here for last 30 years.

Tommy is good but he is on his way back from Port A. so he may not answer tell Tuesday or Wed.

I strongly second that recommendation. Tommy does excellent work.

Tom Meeh at Waterline Works is superb at almost any boat repair and he stands by his work.  He just completed repairing damage done to Stinger (J105) from hitting a submerged object.   This included repairing cracks around the keel sump as well as cracks in the stringers. It also included a grand prix bottom job that I could see my face reflected in. Everything he has ever done for me has been top notch.  I have never had a reason to use anyone else and recommend him without reservation.

Tom did a great job on mine, I'd hire him again in a moment.
