Report
I bought a 30 year old medium sized fibreglass yacht which needed repair and maintenance work. The broker recommended Ashby Boat Builders. I asked Adam to have a look at a couple of things immediately prior to purchase as I had Lawries Boat Services slip it for inspection and a surveyor check it over for insurance purposes. I found Adam was straight up and down about what was required and the likely costs. I immediately sensed I could trust Adam as he is direct with what he says and there is no bull with him.
Adam informed me when fixing the stern gland there may be unknowns of which he was

Report
I could not recommend Adam and his guys highly enough. He really knows his stuff. The pricing is very fair and quality of work is excellent. My boat had been severely neglected for over 3 years and he got her running and looking great again. I wouldn't take my boat to anybody else. Very highly recommended!!!
