Eric, Blanche and I wanted to take a moment to thank you again for all that you did for us as we searched for our first boat.  Your knowledge and easy-going, but extremely professional style of doing business, were big contributing factors as we moved forward with the purchase of OPUS.  We were also very impressed with the business associates that you introduced us to and who were so instrumental in helping with the financing and insuring of the boat. Finally thanks for getting OPUS safely to Branford from Portland a very impressive job of navigating under some challenging circumstances with a novice and sometimes nervous captain at the helm.
