Shipwright ,Marine Surveyor, Marine repair service.
Please Understand though I take great pride in my knowledge and Craftsmanship and only use highest grade /quality materials obtainable ( Marine / aviation).
I enjoy bringing delight to customers and occasionally do some additional work at no additional charge.
To make this 21.5 Eliminator show quality, instead of some gel coat repairs and glamour clear coat, that does eliminate gel coat fade, oxidation and provides a wet look that lasts over 40 years. Even in Arizona's highly destructive Ultraviolet highest on the United States solar index chart/ map. 10+ highest in our nation.
Ask about our superior glamour clear coating
(glamour finish that lasts) wet look) no discoloration, fading, oxidation, and gel coat protection that lasts over 40 plus years.)
I strive to please all customers all the time and be treated accordingly, However one can only please all some of the time ! Or some all of the time, but never can all be pleased all of the time ! Customers such as this have been extremely few and far between, maybe 3 in 40 years. .
I do my best to be fair and honest and delight in pleasing others with my knowledge and skills.
That's a win, win in my book.
Not overpriced ! Not under priced, unbeatable quality at a fair honest price, you do get what you pay for/

Designs / Inventions / Concepts / Solutions.
My design below was Featured on the Discovery Channel.
custom restoration from a crushed / destroyed Tahiti into a one of a kind commercial Hang gliding concept boat.
Boat - water towing tandem hang glider with pilot and passenger to 3500' A.W.L. (above water level). Then pilot harnessed below released the Spectra tow line tthat had an automatic deployment (small ram air parachute) for a safe 60 mph rewind. While the glider would fly for an average of 20 minutes covering a minimum distance of 3 miles in full glide. Landing on the water and recovered with the use of the hydraulic platform. ( pic of me in far lower left with
Lake Havasu City in background). This old Tahiti 24ft crushed by avalanche I purchased as a crushed hull for $250. Then replaced all structural wood, stringers, transom, bulkheads, floor.... Redesigned and made a hydraulic powered platform -Winch - mast - Commercial Hang gliding boat for tandem rides and lessons. Seen on Discovery channel ! After several years of use in three countries I sold it for over $30.000 U.S.D.
