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.

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. Dont lie Dont Cheat And dont give up..

They show the company without the Discovery Channel reality TV production values. They show actual boats being worked on.

It is the only part online. Voids in the layup: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAJ7xr...AJ7xr386LE
