Need a wood craftsman near Sarasota, FL
My brother has a 22' 2003 CC Launch with the heritage package (teak floor and mahogany accents).

Contact Mike Murley at Murley's Marine, located in Fair Haven, MI just down the road from Algonac. He rebuilt my 283 generator (not water cooled) and water pump a few years back. Talked to him today and he said he can repair it for you. Said he built special tooling years ago to separate the halves ...
