As many of you will remember my boat was struck by another boat back in August (https://forum.moomba.com/showthread.php?t=12545).
Today I finally towed my boat back home. Active Water Sports did an AMAZING job on the fiberglass and gelcoat repair. From talking to Matt Radich (General Manager) and Cary (the glass guy) I found out that in order to rebuild the top deck that they had to cut out all the fiberglass in the damaged area and start from scratch. So they were literally building the top deck of the transom. I wish i had pics of the boat with the fiberglass removed. Since they couldn't build a mold to copy off a new 21v because it has a different top deck, Cary rebuilt it by eye-balling it from pics of a 21V sent to him from a buddy who has the same boat as me. When he rebuilt the swim platform brackets he added a thicker and wider piece of aluminum to give it extra support. I am very impressed with his work. His attention to detail is outstanding. He blended the blue gelcoat extremely well making it very hard to tell where he blended it at. From the time AWS was given the OK to start the repair of the fiberglass and gelcoat it took him approx 2 weeks (which included having to wait for the gelcoat to show up from SC and fixing the swim platform brackets). I was impressed at how quickly it went. AWS was done with their portion of the repair work at the end of the first week of October. Unfortunately SC was very slow at getting the ordered parts out to AWS. Monday everything that was ordered had finally finished coming in. ( It took 2 months after ordering the swim platform and its brackets to come in and 3 months the sun deck cushions and Supra logo to come in). But SC messed up on building the starboard sun deck cushion. They made it wrong so it will not close properly, but the boat is usable right now. Once AWS gets the new cushion in they are going to send someone out to swap it. I just hope that SC doesn't take another 3 months to build the cushion.
I would recommend AWS and their service department to anyone. They did an outstanding job. And did everything they could to make sure that I was happy. The even detailed my boat and fixed some of the scratches on it for me.
I am very dissatisfied with SC on there inability to get ordered items out in a timely fashion. Why give a build date time frame when you are just going to blow past it by 8 weeks?
Here are the before pics...
