I have had that boat for 28 years,now, so I think he gave me good advice. I cringe when I see all yacht brokers described as "the worst", or marine service people, or auto mechanics, just as I do when I hear all physicians described as greedy, etc etc. Class judgments of that kind say a great deal more about the person making them than they do about the class of people described.
