Spectre Powerboats

I have lost count of how many boats Frank has brought to me or delivered for me. Always 1st class.
I have heard people say "Well he is a little high." I have a lot of horror stories about cheaper haulers like UShip, other hauling sites or the guys who just wants to get out of dodge and takes the job for gas money. Here are 2 stories for you about that. I could tell more, but just 2 for now.
I just bought a boat and Frank went and looked at it for me, looked the boat over, went through it and used a moisture meter to check the transom and the bottom of the boat. The boat had some issues, because of Frank's findings, the owner and I were able to negotiate a lower price for the repairs. It saved me thousands of dollars by Frank checking it out ahead of time. Frank has done this several times for me on going through these boats.
Story two, I had a boat last year that the buyer used UShip for. This guy who showed up to get it was a first time hauler and just told us he put a new junk yard transmission in his truck. I begged the buyer to cancel and not use this guy. Long story short the guy still got the job and hauled the boat. During his trip, his transmission line blows off and sprays the boat down with trannie fluid. So, the guy gets it fixed and then goes to the local auto store and buys an engine degreaser. He takes the boat to a power washer and sprays the degreaser all over the boat and proceeds to wash it off. So guess what the boat looked like when the owner got it.
I know this story will stir some crap, but for almost a year I have got static on this boats condition (from the California boaters) when it arrived to the buyer. So, I am going to do this. Here are pictures of the boat when it left here that day and you can draw your conclusions of it. We have now built 11 Talon 22 SS boats so far and none have had issues like this.
I will load the pictures as large as I can for easier review. These are pictures of the boat leaving that day and pictures of the hauler. The pictures do not show the smoke coming from the guys exhaust that good, but it was smoking like the engine was on it's last leg.
