He says when he bought Ankle Biter from you he thought he would own the boat for a few years and then move up to something bigger, but 14 years later he is still loving the ride and has no plans to sell. He also remembered your name without prompting and enjoyed recalling and retelling of meeting you in Hanalei to complete the purchase.
All of which speaks well of the job you did prepping AB for the 2008 SHTP, and to the quality of the SC 27 generally. Well done, sir.
Hey! Thanks for this. Oh, it's good to see her in good hands, still, and going strong..
