True enough Tom. I worked a time for a full size catamaran manufacturer and they too had to earn every dime.
Steve Rabito however was a thief and a liar through and through. I have been after him for seven years on behalf of a guy in Turkey who sent him several thousand for a boat that was never made. Through that time Rabito has made all kinds of promises (and excuses) but every one was a lie. He is one who gives the industry a bad name and has well earned his reputation for being a liar and thief.
