Tuesday afternoon i got a call from the guy that lives about 10 houses away from me on my canal....we have always admired each others boats as we pass by to go to the bay....he says i hear you like a magician when it comes to cleaning boats.....he needed this done ASAP as the boat is leaving for florida tomorrow (sunday) morning....

i get to his shop and the boat is alot rougher up close than it looks passing by...LOL....well afetr a day and a half worth of hard work its done and ready to get loaded on the trailer for florida....

he was extremely pleased and told me he is gonna send me ALOT of work....
