re: Boat refurbish recommendation

Prepare your wallet if you’re paying someone else to do the work 
I rebuilt our 33T contender last year (there is a build thread on here somewhere for it), and it wasn’t cheap. And I did all the work myself minus fiberglass and paint.
Like others said, check fuel tanks while your at it if it’s an older boat. If you’re going all in, you’ll regret not replacing them (or at a minimum inspecting them) while the boats stripped down.
As far as places to do the work, David Wade in Br and Outcast in Des Allemands are 2 of the best in the area for wiring. If going mercury I’d use David Wade. If Yamaha or Suzuki then go Outcast. Not gonna be cheap, but it’ll be done right.
Glassmasters is awesome for fiberglass work.
I’d offer to do rewiring, but I just do it on the side and I’ve already taken on more side jobs than I wanted to this year.
Just curious, what kind of boat we talking about?

I followed your thread and it was great so thank you for that! Was hoping you would respond. The boat is a 34’ Venture w/ twin HPDI 250’s which are running. The cost of a new one is crazy high so it’s kind of a bargain to redo this one.
