These photos accompanied the answers to a questionaire we
sent out. Below are some of the questions and answers from the
questionaire.
What prompted you to want to build a boat?
I could not find a boat on the market that matched my needs. I did not start
out with the intention of building one.
What is your opinion of our products?
Excellent. Your plans worked well! It was my first wood-working project. I also
was helped greatly by:
A book titled "Building the St. Pierre Dory" by Mark White.
Oldport Marine in New Hampshire. I purchased a complete custimized engine
package from him. This included engine, shaft, prop, stuffing box, cutlass
bearing, muffler, sea water strainer, sea water intake through hull and ball
valve, all hoses required, etc.
Flounder Bay Lumber in Anacortes. Working off your bill of materials, they
provided all of my lumber, epoxy, paint, etc.and a lot of
'hand-holding". It was all straight and clear lumber and made
construction easy. The last time I checked, their business was for sale.
I could NOT have been successful without your plans, Mark's book, Oldport
Marine, and Flounder Bay Lumber!!!
What is your experience with our customer service?
Good. I was pretty impressed when I called one day and I talked to
"Witt". I think I was talking to your owner. You
were.
Bill
