It Takes a Winter to Get Ready for Summer

Andy Casey - Tuesday, May 10, 2011

As usual, I've been keeping busy this winter readying the Safe/Sea fleet for service. It's our philosophy that a clean, well-maintained boat is a reliable boat, and our members pay us to be reliable!. Below is the M/V Salvor before and after a new Dupont Imron paint job. I do all the paint myself a few miles outside of Wickford. It took me about a month to get the paint work done on this boat. She's been in the water, ready for service since March.
