Dear Kent,
Shirley and I wish to express our appreciation for your efforts in the sale of our sailboat, Moon Shadow. Early last summer we decided that we were more suited to living on land rather than living aboard. We had taken our boat from Kemah, TX to the Florida Keys. Our experience purchasing the boat from you was so pleasant that we felt that selling the boat would be just as good of an experience. At that time we contacted Kent about the sale of our boat.
Before we left our boat in Marathon in July, Kent started preparing a sales brochure. We contacted a delivery captain who was unable to move the boat until later that month. Due to the unusual weather conditions this summer he had to make the trip in two legs. When the boat arrived in Kemah, Kent contacted us as the boat was being tied to the dock. Since we still had personal items on the boat I went to Texas to retrieve those items and make sure the boat was ready to be put on the market. While I was at the marina, Kent informed me that he had prospective buyers scheduled to see the boat within seventy-two hours of its arrival.
When I returned home, I told Shirley that the boat was already schedule to be shown. We were both surprised to find out that we had two offers the day after I returned. Later that afternoon all the details had been worked-out. Everything went smoothly with one exception, Hurricane Ike, struck the marina. The boat survived and during those stressful times Kent kept us fully informed of the conditions on Galveston Bay and Clear Lake.
Kent kept us continually informed of the process as it progressed from the beginning to the end of the sale. In our case, Kent took care of the many details on the “two best days in a boat owner’s life.” Thanks again for all of your help and the professional manner you handled all of our boating needs.Sincerely,
