These outfits that are swamped should not feel ashamed about farming out a few jobs.
I specialize in mobile marine electrical and have ZERO interest in taking food off another person's plate.
I say if it means getting your boat on time, yards should Pass the work on!
Keep the contact confidential (i recommend it)
Get the quality Service when they need it
Mark it up, or not, do whatever
but end of day, I bail them out, the shop looks good, the client is happy and i'm just a nomadic ghost floating around Winnipesaukee doing what I do; helping to alleviate the yard's loads. -------> Boom like that! One and done. On to the next.
Perhaps it is a pride thing?
Or simply unaware of the alternative seat-eject option?
I'm from the coast, and In my mind of 30 years in the industry, techs and yards are one family. We help each other out and we respect each other's client base.
It doesn't hurt to pass the torch to the little guy if they can bail you out an do the job correctly, quickly and for a reasonable price.
