First I would like to start by wishing my awesome wife a very Happy Birthday today. Why is she awesome? She started this whole mess of me getting a new boat, posted my PIII on the owners board and helped get it sold (very quickly). Oh yeah, she organzied a road trip from Maryland to Mt Home to take a tour of the plant, go with a ride with Ivan and meet some very nice people at the factory. Rick, Ivan & Dory to mention just a few. What a great group of people and Ivan couldnt be more helpful!!! SHE SUPPORTS MY FISHING & GOLF HOBBIES. Do I need more reasons? Oh she rode along with me in the cart so I could get in a round of golf in Mt Home too. I started with a 97 Classic, stepped up to an 02 PIII and now have a 2011 Puma FTD with a 250xs on order(3rd time is the charm). I hoping its getting close since I gave them the word on November 1st to start building. I cant wait to its sitting in the garage and I am praying Maryland doesnt have the winter we had last year.So here is the thanks.Thanks to my wife for all the work she did selling and helping to pick the colors, building the boat and supporting all my BS.Thanks to my fishing buddies for being as excited about the new boat as I am, Alan, Jay, Bob, Big Steve, Lil Steve, Mike and my Canada fishing partner Chris. (By the way there is 5 cats in the group)Thanks to Richard Addy at Mare of Aquia for putting up with all the changes and headaches of me ordering the boat and his help getting the plant tour set up.Thanks to Ivan for taking me on a tour of the plant, helping with all my questions and taking me on a great boat ride. You can tell the man loves what he does. What an informative person and doesnt hesitate to share knowledge.Thanks to Rick Pierce for taking time out of his day to finish the plant tour when Ivan had to leave. Very down to earth man for being on top of such a great company. Thanks to all the people that post here and offer such good information and opinions.Thanks to BCB for making such great boats, I wouldnt be in any other.I cant wait.Wishing everyone here a Happy and safe Thanksgiving.And to think this whole process started with a broken trolling motor on a trip to Canada.Last edited by SeaPointBakers on November 24th, 2010, 1:52 pm, edited 1 time in total.
