Liquidator Has Left The Building (also posted in General)
I just received the call from the hauler - the check cleared and Liquidator is on her way to her new home in Cleveland, Ohio.
I can't begin to tell you how impressed my wife and I were with all of the folks at OL, from Tony and all the time he took with me on the telephone to Dan who was eager to help and has an absolutely encyclopedic knowledge of all things go-fast to Mike who was completely down to earth and spent a whole day paying attention to a guy and his wife who were there to buy a 12 year old used boat. I was excited just to meet him and he treated us as if we just put an order in for a $1MM custom. What a classy bunch of people backed by a bunch of guys who are real tradesmen (we had the unusual experience of getting to watch two of the guys tear down one of the engines to address what turned out to be a mushroomed lifter and picked their brains the few times Mike got out of their hair - thanks guys, your cold Stellas are waiting at Lakeside Yacht Club next time you are in Cleveland).
My wife remarked on the drive home that, while she still would have voted for the boat on its own merits, the quality of all the people we met and saw at OL, top to bottom, made the decision so much easier.
Finally, special thanks to Pat for jumping in to answer my questions and for all he did to set her straight. Pat, I look forward to meeting you, buying you a cold one, and talking about how that nasty gash got into the starboard rubrail...!
I look forward to meeting my fellow OL bretheren and giving you lots of positive updates as we adjust to our new beast.
Cheers to all,
