<<You are right on the money about the work being done for the
most part by what in the old days were called apprentices who were
earnest young men learning the trade. The fledglings in Drew's
yard are just a notch above hamburger slingers and yet the
boatyard owners have no qualms about billing for them at
$65/hr.>>
Peter,
You are correct that boatyard owners have no shame about
charging premium rates for novice workmen's time. It's even
worse when you are a cruiser traveling through an area, and they
know you won't be around to complain about substandard work next
week. I call this the 50 mile warrantee (nearly universal along
the ICW).
