Also if anyone knows of a very good chrome plater that is in the area of Marblehead that would be great.. I have a boat that I need rechroming done.

The plater I use whenever my customer's budget permits is Custom Chrome in Grafton, Oh. Here's their link: http://www.customchromeplating.com/ They offer three levels of quality (and cost) relative to the degree of perfection you require. Their "high quality" is very nearly flawless and the "show quality" is perfection. As in much finish work, it's the last 5% on the perfection scale that costs the most. And they stand behind their work.

I put a call through to the hauler I wanted to hook you up with and am waiting to hear back from him. I'll PM you with his info when he calls.

I owned a '62 model 42' stock cruiser. The transom and leaks from above decks were the only "troublesome" areas. I had some rot in the aft stateroom that got into the stbd. bunk pretty bad. It took me forever to find the source of the leak. (A tiny seam crack in the helm floor). I ended up coating the bottom with a viscous eposy from "rot doctor" in Washington state. This stuff was great and have used it above and below decks as well as in the restoration of older homes. My Matthews was fast, comfortable, and admired wherever we went. As with most older designs, she did not have the beam enjoyed with some newer boats, but she was great.
