Employees working as a team either in construction, or boatbuilding/remodeling or whatever can't/won't do good work when working under conflict. Anyone who has ever worked as part of a crew will attest to this. The show is probably scripted to follow the lead of other successful reality shows that basically appeal to idiots. There is no doubt big money to be made producing these shows as they don't use professional actors.
As far as this Borelli charecter that has recently showed up, I don't think anyone has said anything about the quality of the remodeling work at Metan Marine. I hope he doesn't start swearing at us. LOL
Lol.
No one has bashed the Quality of work at Metan, just the character flaws portrayed in the trailer....it's as if the Discovery channel focused on the negatives instead of the positives of his business.

Mike,
I think that your business and site did get a "Million Dollars" worth of publicity from this site lately.
I would love to be a working part of the crew for a month and to get to work with all aspects of refits.
Even under the mask some of us will call it quality time.Since we got you here
[Which I might ad, that it took a lot of going to get to hear you]
I would be very keen on hearing of your comments on "Paint"
Awlgrip or Craft as in your prep and undercoats and the quality of work as a finished product.
Since the breeze is showing up might as well give it more sail.
Serge.

Here are links to three videos featuring Metan Marine from BoatingLocal.com, a New England-centric magazine style boating website. They show the company without the Discovery Channel reality TV production values. They show actual boats being worked on.
Minor glass and gelcoat repair on Sunfish:

Mashup of a 73-82 21' Outrage restore:

This is Part 1 of probably 2. It is the only part online.

Thank You Metan Marine.
I have enjoyed the condensed clip about the Dumptruck refit.
I will enjoy more of the same.
Thanks to Mike for making it easier for many of us to enjoy some of your work.
