Good Fiberglass shops in Clearwater/Tampa, Florida Area?

[fg2matt]

Does anyone know any good (and cheap) fiberglass shops around the Tampa/Clearwater area that do stringers, and transoms?

Thanks, Matt

"Good and cheap" is an oxymoron, isn't it? If you're good, you aren't going to be cheap.

You can probably do a better job yourself, even if you've never laid glass before just by studying the f'glass rebuilds in this forum.

You'll take the time and more pains with your boat because it's yours. All someone else is going to do is slap it in as fast as they can to make the dollar, and they won't worry about the quality you would like to have.

Not only will you have a better job, you'll save at least half the money of having someone else doing it... it's a win/win situation.

Know where Anclote Rd is in Tarpon Springs?
I don't know the name of the place (if it even has a name) but if you go west on Anclote
just before you come to the first 90* turn is a boat yard. They fix outboards in the building and
there's a fiberglass guy in the Fabric stucture. His name is Marty. He's very good. Tell him Sandy sent you.

Thanks so much Sandy, I will give it a try!

Also, is there a nearby business I could call and maybe they would know of him or his businesses name?
