My wife and I worked with Rusty Hightower when purchasing our sailboat. Unlike previous brokers who attempted to show us only the good characteristics of the boat (and sometimes attempted to hide problems!) he boarded vessels with us and and picked apart absolutely everything. Rusty made certain that we were aware of both the positive and negative aspects of whatever boat we looked at, and knew exactly what we were getting into. Rusty and the rest of the staff at Little Yacht Sales displayed an extreme amount of patience with a couple of newbies and made the purchase process fun and painless.
