 This Mai-Star II as J-Star Boat Services found her as a shell with out decks and looking in a sorry state

The boat builders at J-Star Boat Services are experienced sailors and test their workmanship on their client's vessels to ensure before returning them to their owners that the job is done and returned only when we are happy that the job is done.
