I'd like to apologize for the public posting regarding my father's boat. I had originally tried to contact Bob via the company "Contact Us" link, which may have gotten rerouted. I have received a personal reply and update from him. I will add that this boat has a custom interior design, not the standard layout, so it is understood some delays are to be expected with quality construction. As I shared with Bob, this boat is as much for his heart health as it is pleasure and our concern is that getting the boat doesn't add more stress than necessary. I didn't intend for the message to sound angry or insensitive. Just a son's concern. Hopefully, he'll be sailing and posting glowing reports here about sailing the FL coast soon. I'll add that I personally believe that the 17 is the best boat under 20ft you can put in the water and still plan on getting one myself someday. Stacy D. Smith
