When you do a lot of work with engineers, they will naturally favor the method they work with. If you're lucky enough, you can find someone with the experience and knowledge who can effectively step back and weigh the pros and cons of each method. Guess I should try an engineering forum rather than hoping to find a board member or prop mgr who has been thru an extensive rework project such as this is.
Good luck with that. I have an engineering degree, for what it's worth. Evaluating pros and cons in relation to a job or project is what engineers do. Obviously they're not doing it in a way that meets your pre-determined outcome.
If you were on my board and saying that you know better than professional qualified engineers I'd be setting up the recall vote lickety split.
In the event you DO have a good reason to doubt their opinions, why did you hire them in the first place? Next time hire a firm that will provide an independent opinion. Hell, hire them NOW to get a second opinion. I'll bet your real problem isn't with the engineers, it's with spending money.
