Jay,

Although we did not end up buying a boat with CYOA as timing did not work. What a pleasant experience dealing with John Jacob. The new boat John proposed was equipped as a prudent owner would want a boat equipped to save on maintenance cost and make the boat desirable. When we were in our quest for a new boat for immediate delivery I also visited with CatCo I vomited a little bit in my mouth every time I talked to the salesman Brent. He honestly had no clue about owning a boat/charter owner cost and told lies about companies he knew in BVI that had folded, "leaving Catco the only option".

I have always had respect for CYOA but my beliefs were reinforced during our discussions.
