    I'm looking for some local boat builders that would let me check out there facility. I've done many fiberglass repairs and rebuilds and would like to see how a complete build is done.
    Thanks.

    Check out Van Dam Woodcraft in Boyne City, MI. Visit the Gougeon Brothers in Bay City, Michigan. And there are a number of boatbuilders in the Holland, MI, area.

    Thanks for the info.
    I talked to sunsation a few weeks ago. I hope to take a tour this winter.
    I'm also trying to find someone near the Flint / Port huron / Lake St. Clair areas.
