Geroge Donovans name and website were sent to me by an unsuspecting friend knowing that I was thinking of putting a radar arch on my boat. Marine retrofit was offering a 10 day "special" for $1500. I e-mailed George with questions about his bussiness and details of the radar arch and also called him. He replied to the E-mail and answered the phone promptly. After some conversation that he sounded very knowlegable, we agreed to meet at my marina to measure my boat for an arch. (Sat 10/24/09 10AM) We met, he wrote up an agreement on his bussiness form and I wrote him a check for half of the price/remainder to be paid at completion. I told him that I would visit him at his shop at the end of the week. He had shown me many pics, supposedly of his work, Both on his website and from his laptop. That PM I was feeling a little edgy about this and went back online under a different search engine and found this website (Thank GOD!) I immediately called George. No reply! At 7:30 AM Monday morning put a stop payment on the check. I found out that George had been arrested that nite and spent the weekend in the westerly R. I jail. I also went to both of his shop sites 1. Westerly RI and Clinton Conn. To hear the same reply from people. That George has not been there for a long time and that I was not the only person looking for him. He has changed his living address many times also. Beware!!! I hope this site helps someone else besides me. I was fortunate.
