New Owner is Thrilled
 

We got an e-mail from the guy we sold the boat to (POOL WHORE) and he is thrilled with it. Here is part of his e-mail. I'm sure you guys will see him on some California Poker Runs in the "Pink Flamingo" :D :D

---------------------

Steve & Bobby,

The old gal ran fantastic on Sunday. This was the first time out. I ran a quartering sea 10 miles to main beach Laguna. I turned up towards Long Beach head on. Hammering to 3/4 throttle, drives at 4.5 and tabs at 2, I never dipped below 63MPH. (GPS has been added). I think that I only fully left the water twice. Once in the calmer waters of Long Beach circle, I jammed the sticks hard, tabs up, drives to 6 and made a few passes at 74-75MPH. I believe that the GPS is slightly low as the antenna is mounted below decks. My cheeks were flapping, so I know that we were hauling ass. Then in for lunch.

After lunch, I went way out to look for Lyall as I heard that he was coming back from Catalina. Didn't see him. I came back to the Dunes early before the fracas family boaters returned. Bathed her down for 2 hours and put away. Then over to the side show follies at the launch ramp.

Thank you for a great boat, it was definately worth the wait! Not misrepresented at all in the classifieds. I had a blast and am looking forward to many more weekends.

The "Mary Kay calling" Top Gun was hard to keep shrouded in secrecy for so long. It was hard not to spill the beans that she had come all the way across country to CA. I am excited to see a resurgence of Cigs on the West coast. See ya soon Tank!

I was very impressed with the boat upon delivery (big thanks to bgchubby Jeff Murray for overseeing shipping arrangements) as the hull appeared to be washed from 15 yards away. In reality, it was peppered with bugs. Steve's detailers must have waxed that hull once a week. This was my first encounter with the boat. You see, all transaction were completed through e-mail and phone conversations.

Another big thanks to Ed Cozzi for a very thorough and impartial survey and sea trial. He even called to follow up to see my first impressions of the boat., not knowing that I had not taken delivery. Ed even shot me a few pointers for performance.

Not everyone is a crook in the marine industry. These are good people to deal with and I would recommend them highly to anyone. The boat is much better than anticipated. I can't wait to run again this weekend!

Re: New Owner is Thrilled
 

Congrats and enjoy! Sounds like a real nice boat-looks great.

Re: New Owner is Thrilled
 

Not surprised at all. It is a very nice boat and the Berks are a great bunch. Congratulations on a nice boat, I`m sure that you will get many hours of enjoyment out of it.
