Report
Jim Rard and Patrick Harrigan transported my boat from LaConner to Anacortes. While on board, the engine overheated and they continued without calling for vessel assist or pulling over. They destroyed my boats engine. Then they pretended that it never happened. I never got a call from Jim acknowledging what happened while he was on board. Patrick refused to turn the claim into his insurance company. The entire engine had to be rebuilt before I could sell my Valiant 40. Steer clear of these people and this company unless you want to deal people who will treat you this way.
