I hired Jim to help restore my rare 1957 Chris craft Capri. Initially, I thought he was talented and a nice guy. He refastened the boat and replaced several planks. Then he replaced the planks on the aft deck (book ended for matching grain)and totally missed the frame with the screws. He didnt even tell me. When I discovered it, he bailed on the project and hasnt returned my calls or texts. I paid every invoice in full as he gave them to me. While I think he has some basic skills, do not do business with him. He does not stand behind his work.
