After looking at several restoration options, I am having Wildfire Marine perform a total restore on my '82 20' CC. I have been to his shop on numerous occasions and seen the quality of his work; it is exceptional. However, the best endorsement I can give Mike is the quality of the restoration he did on a friends Potter-built 23' CC. I had pretty much made my mind up that Wildfire was going to do my boat but when my friend told me that Wildfire did his 23' it solidified my decision. His restoration included a full transom, transom live well, Armstrong bracket, and paint (and much more). My friend hung two 200HP Etecs on the bracket. The boat looks new and it performs better than new. Oh, the restoration was done in 2006. Before passing any judgment on Mike's work and Wildfire Marine, we should have first-hand knowledge. I think his incredibly generous offer speaks volumes about his character. Frankly, I hope it's not accepted because Wildfire has plenty of work and I'm anxious to get my project moving.
