Post by: Mike8560 on February 12, 2011, 03:53:56 pm
This morning I had to go five a price on a set of  ca cas seat covers on a pontoon boat it was the  a customer who I worked for when I first moved to Florida 7 hears ago sadly her husband had died not long ago. Well I got the job and then later when I was at the garden center at home depot I fan into a old customer I had when I was in New Hampshire.  Funny thing. Well
the phone has starter ringing no big jobs but I did get two today.

Last friday was our first day above freezing since I don't know when and temps have been raising each day. Today hit 68 degrees with a high tomorrow of 73. I did get a seat in a bass boat a few weeks ago, a new carpet in another bass boat this week and today got a complete interior in an older 18' Rinker. I  have to get some seats and bow pads finished this week for a Baja 180 too. The first sign of warmer weather gets people thinking about whats to come. I've also seen alot of bikes out cruisin too, so those guys ought to start calling soon for some seat work.
