Shipwreck boat repair/ repair shop recommendations
« on: February 28, 2018, 06:53:53 PM »
Hello Everyone,

Has anyone had expierence with shipwreck boat repair out of Princeton MN? I know they have had some older CV and CVZ  restoration jobs on display at the boat show before, but if you read reviews online there is some nasty reviews about them. Wondering if anyone has actually been here?

I guess I am looking for recommendations on where to take my boat around the twin cities/ forest lake/ north branch/ western Wisconsin areas where our cabin is for upholstery work and other basic maintance such as putting in new steering. The guy I had do my upholstery work decided to be done so I’m looking for a new trusting shop that knows our boats. Any recommendations would be appreciated! Thank you!

You could check with Allan Pfromm (member name "Green with Envy").  He works out of the  Miss Croix Marina in Prescott, and was kind enough to show me one of his projects earlier this winter. http://www.aqua-stitch.com/
