Thank you for sending the information on the Morgan, and for being so thorough in going over the boat... The items you listed are important and certainly need to be attended to...

I'm finally starting to wade through standing rigging issues on [name of boat] (lengths, wire sizes, types of terminals, etc). I've been reading everything I can get my hands on, and I wanted you to know that the article on your website is one of the best I've found--one more example of your superb professionalism. KV 06/25/04
Thanks very much for your excellent survey and for overseeing the repair work on the [39'sailboat]. My broker [in California] said your survey was one of the best his office had seen, As someone new to sailing, it will be a very useful reference as I renovate the boat. GC 1/28/04

I just wanted to thank you for the fine job on my survey,... It would be my privilege for you to use me as a reference AS 8/22/2002
I did close on the [47' sailboat]. Thanks again for your excellent survey. AS 8/14/2002
Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to survey [boat name]. I never thought that a survey and sail test would be such a pleasant experience. JW 1/08/2002
"Words cannot express my appreciation for the time and knowledge you shared with [name] and myself on the [boat name] survey. Being new to the sailing world, we had no concept of the time needed to accurately and honestly report on a vessel rigged such as she is. I would like to share that I have referred back to your survey often as I search for a web site to secure an operator's guide or simply to learn more about a given piece of equipment....
Thank you again. It was a sincere pleasure doing business with you." AM 6/24/2002
"Thanks for everything, especially the quick turnaround on the written report. You will definitely be highly recommended by me to anyone I know who needs a survey! Thanks again." CC 9/04/2002

"We want to thank you for your prompt and professional survey you performed on [sailboat boat name]. We did purchase the boat and so far couldn't be happier. Thanks so much for your assistance in this transaction. It was a pleasure to work with you." J & BB 8/21/2001
Thank You for being such a great surveyor and professional. I really enjoyed working with you. Upsetting as it was that the boat did not work out I feel it definitely better to suffer from a long wait than to suffer the fate that comes with a bad boat purchase. I am really ready to squeeze the trigger on a boat and appreciate that you kept an objective view of the deal. I rarely find someone that I feel I can trust and that will keep my interests as the primary concern in professional dealings. It means a lot to me when I do find someone like you that has the rare combination of experience and professionalism." MM 04/11/2001
"I just reviewed the survey for the [sailboat]. Based on my assessment and the results of the sea-trial & survey, I intend to complete the purchase. The survey, and particularly the parts that make specific, practical suggestions regarding maintenance/modification, will be very valuable as I prepare the boat for use. Thanks not only for the promptly prepared, professional survey, but also for taking the time to understand my needs and offer practical advice that will be helpful to me, considering my limited knowledge about boat maintenance/safety regulations." JC 3/30/2001
"I just wanted to tell you how very satisfied that I am with your survey. You were very thorough, and you provided a comprehensive, professionally done report. Even my insurance agent commented about the amount of detail provided in the report. Most of all, I want to thank you for all of the good advice that you have given me and your willingness to answer any questions that I may have in the future. In my opinion, you guys are top-notch professionals who know your business very well, and I will definitely recommend you to others." - JT 3/6/2001
I am excited by the boat and amazed by your report. I spent some time inspecting boilers for a living and now occasionally review machinery reports. I did not expect a report of this length or quality in such a short period of time. Needless to say, I will buy the [sailboat]. - SR 3/1/2001
Thank you very much for your SUBERB and very professional survey on the [trawler]. Spending a few hundred dollars to save what could have easily been a six-figure catastrophe was some of the wisest money I have invested in many, many years. - PC 9/5/2000
