To the folks at Hell's Bay Boatworks,

Just wanted you to know that you have a couple of outstanding representatives here in Texas. Last Thursday I had the pleasure of meeting Russell Dunham and Jeff Shatto in Rockport, Texas. They demo'ed the Whipray 17.8 and Guide 18 and it certainly consisted of a lot more than a "boat ride." They spent a great deal of time with me on both boats pointing out the features, construction, handling, etc. I did not expect such a complete presentation, but am certainly glad they spent the time with me that they did.

I was particularly concerned with what the ride would be in boats of such light weight and was pleased with the ride, poling ability, construction, and overall quality of your boats. The information in your brochure is not just a lot of hype which is not the case with some other manufacturers that I have looked at.

Again, I thank you, Russell, and Jeff for your responsiveness and the completeness of the demonstrations.

Regards,
Bill Snell
