Found him by word of mouth from local dealers. I asked for a pretty intricate setup. I have a fold-down wake tower, and wanted to be able to extend the front portion to cover me and the wife, and a second portion off the rear that covers rear passengers, but wanted to be able to use the the front portion alone, being able to keep the rear up and out of the way while wake boarding (no rope interference). He quoted me $1100, which I thought was a bit steep, but with all the extras I am asking for, probably not. Was to be finished today.
Well, he called me at 3:00 and said it was NOT going to be finished today, but if I was wanting to take it out this weekend, I could come and get it at 5:00. AND the front half of the bimini top was finished and I could bring it home with the boat to use over the weekend.
Drove over to Tomball, picked up the boat, and the top, though not completely finished (no adjustable strap clips and no travel boot) looked much better than I anticipated. He had changed our agreed design up a little to use less pole, provide more coverage, and higher head room, and also the rear half can be taken off completely, or used folded up. So he took it off the boat (took 2 or 3 minutes) and put it in the back seat of my truck and he says, "Don't decide you like just the front half and stiff me my payment!" I said "you going to let me take it home without paying?" "Sure, but if you decide to not want the back half, please come back and pay for the front half. And be back early monday with the boat so I can put it back in the workshop and finish the rear half."
THAT is the kinda service I like!!!
Highly recommended!
