Guy in the area has signs up at the intersections, offering to do boat
winterizing and shrinkwrapping. Called him up, he's half the price of
the dealer and $6 a foot less than the marina for shrinkwrapping.

Got him coming by the end of the week. $151 instead of $304.

Probably is, moonlighting. Union guys always work harder than scabs.

I suppose to a marina, this guy working out of his toyota would be
considered a scab... Can't really see how Harry could hire him..

The marinas around here are not unionized, and neither are the boat
dealerships. There's no connection between a non-unionized industry and
what you think a scab is.

Trouble is he may not know what he's doing. Granted, it doesn't take much
knowledge. But if he burns the gelcoat with the heat gun who's going to fix
and pay for it? I'm all for saving a few bucks but I'd much rather have
someone with an actual business to go after in the event of screw ups.

If you are referring to the guy I found through his advertising, he gave
me a couple of references. Called two of them, he did the job without
any problems. In the fall, apparently, he's doing this 10 hours a day,
six days a week. He won't get to me for another week or so.
