Lowe quality boat rigging...

[john lamon]

Really poor rigging on the boats coming to us from Lowe, I know I wouldn't be happy with it if I had one so I ordered 3 different sizes of that stretchable rigging sleeve and did the first one this morning, what you guys think?

I forgot to take a before picture so I took a before of another boat outside, they all look the same as far as being sloppy.



after



how can they care so liittle? lol





Another thing that bothered me was the way the bimini lights plug in and just wire connections hanging out.





I like being able to add my own touches to the boats, really enjoying the new job.

Wow that really is sad. Looks like the wires where run by a three year old. Great job, it really cleans it up.

Sometimes the last fifty feet of the boat assembly line is at the dealer.

I really like your re rigging job, looks very professional.
Nice your correcting a problem before there is a problem.

John, thanks for restoring my faith in humanity. You're a good dude.

Yea it is amazing how little attention is paid to wiring. That is a major pet peeve of mine.

nice work, but that type of quaility is common from boat companies. that and boat trailer builders that won't spend the extra $5 to ground their trailers properly.

i've seen drywall screws used to hold floors in, torn seats and sunpads, stereo doors that wouldn't close, the hydraulic steering lines reversed, oil pressure sender not installed, and one of my fav's - the truckload of boats that showed up with their shirkwrap blown off and full of salt and sand from a winter's drive - very nice.

but the best one had to have been the boat that had the scuppers installed upside down so that the boat filled with water - good times.

I was thinking if you get rid of that white shat it would do wonders.

I'm with DropTop5.0 regarding the white stuff.
The before shots look brutal.
Much nicer afterwards.
