Yes Dawn, thank you. I was going to give FULL DISCLOSURE this time for sure, although if you click on the picture link in the original post, the first pic is captioned "The Happy New Owners". I thought I was disclosing with that, but oh well..... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

Kim, as already stated, it is our boat. I will be happy to give you more info if you would like to register and send me a PM, or note your email here and I'll email you.

Did we have any problems with the boat? No, everything worked great. But then, we were the first users after the Moorings phase-out and we worked very hard with the surveyor and Jim at Pro Valor to get things right. However, Cecilia at PVC just informed me that a charterer brought the boat back in several days ago and said it was flawless and they loved it, so I guess things must still be working ok. Jim at PVC is very good with maintenance and does much of it himself.

Aged well? Yes, we think so. Hope it stays that way.

Experiences with Pro Valor? We had not chartered with them before but only because I didn't know about them. They do not advertise as much as the bigger companies and are therefore less well known, but they have a very good reputation and seem to have a very large repeat customer base. So far, we are extremely happy with their service to us as owners and I'm certain we would have had great experiences had we chartered from them in the past.

Whatever you decide, good luck and fair winds.

Rob
