At least I hope it's the worst. Have you seen any worse?

The comment "I think that boat's screwed" sums it up nicely.

No, can't compete with that, although the crooks in France building my flybridge seat with MDF is not so far off

If (and its a big if) it was correctly treated it could be ok, but then again I would not have mdf on a boat.

However screwing it down was interesting

Tsk tsk, screws all at odd spacings and different angles. Terrible workmanship /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Tee hee, that was quite a bit of diy - twas on here a month or so back but worth seeing again

Peters in Chichester did something very similar whilst making a small mod during PDI on my first Sq58, in 2004. I kid you not. I went furcking mad with them. I even have pics somewhere - I should try to dig em out and post on here. It got fixed, but that's not the point. Such a completely crap firm, that Peters lot. I feel sorry for the innocent employees who lost their jobs but so far as management and the several crap employees are concerned I'm glad they disappeared into oblivion and that a proper competent firm like Essexboatyards took over the fairline franchise

Looks okay to me. 5 mins with a Dremal and perfect - job done. I hope they used the correct grade of screws. That's very important! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
