Recertification of Life Raft

Trim50 · 12-07-2007, 12:10

I need to recertify my life raft and wanted to get a recommendation for the best place to do so in the SF bay area.

Any help would be appreciated!

If you check the website of the liferaft manufacturer (i.e. zodiac, dbc, RFD, etc.) there should be a list of certified service agents in your area...

Sal's is good, has gone way out of his way to help a circumnavigating friend.

Just called Sal's..unfortunately he isn't open on the weekends. So I guess I'll be taking some time off from work.

$400 minumum...quoted to be around $1200
