Hi Bruce, I have received your
Illustrated CUSTOM BOATBUILDING book yesterday. You did a great job
of writing and putting it all together. In reading through several
chapters, you have already answered several of the questions I was
planning to ask you in the future. Thanks for sending the book to
me. I am finding it to be very helpful. Have a Great Day!

TRADER 65
Bruce, We finally got your wonderful book. It was on a bit of a journey in several different hands to get to us in the Bahamas. When we finally thought we were going to get it, it came up lost from the bag of the person that brought it through the Marsh Harbour airport. I kept calling the airport for days and someone finally found it in Customs!
We think it is a beautiful book
with a lot of great information. We can only image how much work
goes into putting all that information together. We were thrilled
with how the pictures of "Ciganka" looks. Thanks for signing it
also! Hope all is well for you. Tomorrow we start our Summer run of
youth charters with 15 to 20 people living on board every week
through mid-August. Yikes! All the best to you Bruce! Thomas
& Linda
