Not sure what product
Jim, I'm not certain exactly what the 3M product was, but I will be finding out soon. The diver who cleans the bottom of the boat said that several blisters have formed, and that when he pushes on them or scrapes them, they break. This is exactly what I was told would happen and have seen on some boats that had the same product applied. I have now decided to bypass Frank Butler, his boatyard and the local 3M rep. I've written to the CEO of 3M asking for resolution to my problem. I'm tired of Frank and his boatyard and the 3M rep pointing fingers at each other and saying it is the other guys fault. I've even heard from Frank that maybe the broker who sold me the boat should be responsible for paying, since he is the one who wrote me the letter stating that the bottom job would have a warranty. All I want is for someone to take some sort of responsibility for this and get my boat fixed, but it doesn't look like that is going to happen. If the CEO of 3M doesn't offer some sort of solution to my problem, I will have to retain a lawyer and file suit. I don't want to have to do that. Bottom line is...if Catalina had spent just a bit more time and money and been more careful in the manufacture of my boat, and many other boats, this thread wouldn't even be happening.
