need advice

Jimmy;
Welcome to the family. You have been flooded with some great advice.
Now all you have to do is filter out what you don't want, what your other
half doesn't want and set your priorities after the remodeling is done.

In the meantime, I would suggest you align yourself, and you wife if she
is willing, to take some Power Squadron or Coast Guard Aux. Safe Boating
courses. Don't forget the navigation and first aide sections, to mention a
few. [This could be a whole discussion in itself.] All of which would have
you better informed and prepared for a wonderful journey ahead.

I'm looking forward to reading about your new adventures to be added to
achieves of the C-Brats.

Hi again
Several folks thru this thread and thru pm's recommended that I go see Les at EQ in Oak Harbor, Wa. I had to go off island yesterday to do some business on the mainland, so I stopped by his place of business.

I am so glad I did that. I usually don't want to bother people unannounced and I really would have been happy just to look at the Rosborough 25.5 without disturbing him. No luck--

He spent considerable time explaining to newby me about the various attributes of different hull styles, propulsion systems, electrical gizmo's, etc. I never thought that he was "selling" me and I could not have found a greater source of info (except for this bunch of c-brats). I left with the feeling that he is one of the good guys in the industry (not to say that there are not many more, several of whom I hope to meet soon, some of whom come in and out of this wonderful forum on occasion. But he is special---so is the Rosborough, but you already know that. www.eqmarine.com

Thanks

PS--I never met him before, have no association or intentions, other than I could buy his boat if it makes the final cut.
 
Jimmy- I was gonna "warn" you about that. Anybody who says hello to Les comes away with at least 3 college credits in marlinspike seamanship. :wink:

That's so funny. I had the same experience too. I thoroughly enjoyed our 2 hour visit. The only thing that was unpleasant was the fact I was wasting his time, being that I wasn't ready buy an Arima or Rossy. Les knew that but he didn't seem to mind educating me. Still....I felt pangs of guilt.

Jimmy....did you get a chance to tour his bus/RV?

Jimmy,

How does that old saying go, "Now that you have met the best, are you ready for the rest?" or something like that.

I too met Les and he knew we were just looking, and he unselfishly spent at least two hours. When we are ready to get major work done, we are going back up to Coronet Bay. He is a fine example of what customer service should be, from start to finish.
