What do my clients say...

Dear Captain Edwards,

I am pleased to provide this letter as a recommendation for services provided to me. During the past approximately three years you have worked on my sailboat on several occasions at my requests. The services provided during this time period included the following; Replacement of engine transmission - Replace engine starter - Replace engine heat exchanger - Replace fuel pump Install and calibrate a Ray Marine autopilot system - Replace the packing gland on rudder post - Repair fiberglass around scupper in stern - Replace the bilge pump.  All of these tasks were completed in a timely and professional manner and at a cost that was within the quoted estimated costs. Additionally you have freely shared your expertise with me and provided invaluable advice and guidance regarding the care and maintenance of the boat.

I look forward to continuing to use your professional services as needed.  Sincerely, James L. Starr Professor Texas A&M
