I've no idea Rob. As far as I'm concerned now they've screwed up and I'm no longer carrying on with the idea. She will continue to occupy the marina berth but at drystack prices ;-) Also I get a free lift this year to antifoul and polish, so all in all I still get the savings I was aiming for, for this year at least.

Good to find the positive whenever possible, kudos to that. I would check the mounting hardware of the swim platform carefully. I've seen a number of transoms get damaged by that hardware not being 100% watertight. What happens is when the boat is sitting in a sea and going up and down and the waves are slapping under the platform it loosens the seal of the hardware over time and they began to weep. Since the yard is making good on this I would consider adding the re-bedding of the swim platform hardware to the list.

Luck is the residue of good design.
