Dear Mr. Bourque,

I'm a Captain and have been one many many years and here are some comments you can keep, pass on or through away but hopefully you'll accept the complement.

Through the course of my career I've worked and run lots of boats of all sizes. From 26 foot to 146 foot. Some motor yacht style, sport yacht and some Sportfish style. No matter how big or what name is on it, I've yet to see the quality your company, and its employees, put in the Cabo. I ran a Cabo once which a friend of mine was running and was hooked by it's performance and quality from that point on. People can boast that they have a boat named after the companies founder (Bertram), an area in North Carolina (Hatteras) or custom built, but I've yet to see the care and quality as put into your vessel. When ever I meet someone who wants a vessel, I always recommend the Cabo.

The real complement comes from my wife who does not like the water (she an equestrian). When she saw the Red Sled she said "Now that's a boat". When I took her through your vessel and showed her the care and quality, she was really impressed. As a Yacht Captain, I know I'll never afford a new Cabot but if I decided to retire and open a small fishing charter business I told her I would first get Cabo and secondly, I'd open it in Stuart, Florida. My wife said "why Stuart?" I said "because there's already a Cabo in Pompano and perfection can't compete with perfection."

If your going to be at the Palm Beach Show or the Miami Show please let me know where and I'd love to stop and see you.

Sincerely,
