Hi everyone -

As some may know, Thompson Boat Works has become the agent for Ovington Boats in the US. Craig and Larry Tuttle have put together a short survey to gauge ownership trends and intentions in order to help them figure out how to serve the 505 buyer market.

Please take a minute to fill out the survey and we will discuss it at the AGM next week.

Link below.

Thanks

All -

Hopefully everyone's trip home from NAs was as smooth as mine and I hope your hands hurt less than mine do (a good problem to have - we had breeze).

Here are the results of the survey we sent out last fall about boat ownership and purchase intent.

At the informal "Not AGM" we had in FL, we concluded that there is reasonable demand for competitive used boats and that there are probably a lot of underutilized boats out there that a change of hands would suit well. I'll rattle chains on that separately, but if you have a boat growing cobwebs in the garage, let me know and we can help get it into new hands and out on the water.
