Customer satisfaction, if considered at all, is sadly way down the list.<br /><br />Glad things are winding down for you. If you happen to head by Mobjack bay and have time, stop by and say hi. We'll be here until the hardtop project is done.<br /><br />Take care,<br />-Mike<br /><a href="http://thisratsailed.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">ThisRatSailed</a>Mike Boydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14279932231094933575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552422419133819877.post-28460976077752405282015-09-03T13:21:46.321-05:002015-09-03T13:21:46.321-05:00Well, it *is* a boat...Well, it *is* a boat...Robert Salnickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236481906016930762noreply@blogger.com
