The insurance company gave the harbor masters about 40k in compensation to make repairs on the boat.

They did not do any of the work, dragged it out for over a year to do the repairs, charged the insurance company for work they claimed to do but did not.

In the end my in-laws got nothing fixed and had to do all the work themselves.

The owners had 'praise jesus" signs all over the boat yard, and bible quotes on over doorway in the harbor.

They walked off with the money, did no work and then declared bankruptcy and skedaddled.

My wifes folks got off easy, the owners had taken a bunch of others with the same scam and did not pay their workers on the way out.

Get it in writing.
His word isn't worth shit.
Not with the good lord telling him how to fuck you on the deal."
