Good Morning Sandi and Nick,
I wanted to thank you
for allowing myself and Yamaha to be a part of your
open house. The
time and effort that you put into having such an
event showed. It was a very impressive event; I hope
it generated the sales and amount of leads you were
looking for.
Also, it is nice to see people, during these tough
economic times, dedicated to the marine industry
and their dealership. Hosting event like the
one you put on yesterday takes a dedication to your
dealership and the industry, I wish I saw more of
this throughout the dealer network, but I firmly
believe those who put forth the effort now during
these challenging times will be the ones that are
successful now and in the future.
I hope to be invited back next year. Also,
if you have suggestions to how Yamaha could help
you with such an event next year please let me know. Promotional
budgets have been reduced over the last two years,
but maybe with some creative thinking we can come
up with ways to help with your open house.
Thank you again for letting us be a part of your
event and congratulations on what certainly seemed
like a successful event.
Chuck Miller
District Marketing Manager

Good morning!! I just wanted
to send a short note and say "Thank You" for
making this boat purchase such a great and wonderful
experience. I was blown away by how everyone
works together. I am all ready looking forward
to coming back for service. Co workers have
come up to me and wanted to see pictures of my new
boat and then they say "I would really like to look
into getting a boat" and I take them straight
to your website and tell them how great you guys
are. I can't wait to go to my tournament meetings
wearing my Anglers Choice shirt. Again I can't
thank everyone enough. I hope you all have
a wonderful Fourth of July.

Dear Nick & Sandi,
My name is Clay Williams and I purchased
a boat from angler's choice on Feb. 7, 2009 at your
open house sales event. My father, David Williams,
was very helpful to me in helping me to decide which
boat to purchase. My father was diagnosed with cancer
around Thanksgiving and all of your employees were aware
of this. Although it was a long ride to Martinsville,
my dad was right there with me.
Nick, Sandi, and all of your staff
went out of their way to make sure my dad was comfortable
and cared for. I have never met such a nice group
of people
to deal with in all my life. Your motto is to make
each customer a customer for life and I, Clay Williams,
will be one.
By the way, I love my new Stratos
bass boat and can't wait to take her out. Thanks
for being so nice and helpful and kind through the
purchase of my first Stratos bass boat.
Clay Williams
P.S. Dad says to say hi to everyone.

We made it back safely. Thank you for treating
us so great! All of you are so sweet. We
will be your customers forever. - Andrea & Gerald

Oh, he really is driving the boat - slowly of course.

Dear Mr. Forrest L.
Wood,
I am writing this letter to say
"Thank you" for designing and building such a strong
and safe boat for fisherman.
I was a boater in the FLW Tournament
at Clarks Hill Lake, October 22-24, 2008. I was driving
a Ranger 188VX with a 150hp Evinrude E-Tec Motor
which I purchased from Angler's Choice in Martinsville,
Virginia on October 6th. This was the second tournament
I had entered with my new boat. Little did I know
what a storm I heading into!! I have been entering
tournaments for 15 years and have never experienced
such high waves on a lake before.
It was the third day of the tournament
and I thought I had enough poundage to win at least
$10,000 in prize money. It was a rainy day and I
was in a hurry to get back for the weigh-in at 3:45.
Sudenly, at 3:00pm the wind speed increased to 53mph
[record at the airport] and created waves higher
that the length of my boat. They lifted my boat straight
up in the air and I had to turn right or left and
punch through the waves. The current coming from
behind me made the waves worse. Once I got into the
waves I could turn back. My non-boater, Kenneth Peterson,
was holding on to the safety straps to keep from
being thrown from the boat. The waves were breaking
over the bow of the boat, The boat was taking on
water and I felt like I was driving a submarine.
On the way up oneof the waves my
E-Tec motor dies on me! I tried to crank it on the
way down the wave but it failed to fire up. The waves
were crashing on the boat but thank GOD I was in
a Ranger boat and I knew I would not sink. The electronics
were submerged in water but still worked. I was able
to use my 80 lb Minn Kota trolling motor to turn
me away from a stump field and head me toward a sandy
beach area where I landed the boat safely on the
island so mu non-boater and I could be rescued on
the other side of the island.
Although I didn't make the weigh-in
in time to win any money, I will always believe the
Ranger boat the didn't sink saved our lives,
I decided that day that
THE ONLY BASS BOAT I WILL EVER OWN
WILL BE A RANGER.

Sandi and Nick,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone
at your shop for the outstanding services that they
provide.
Brian worked with me closely, listening to my needs,
and really went out of his way to find the right
boat for me. He really made the whole boat buying
process virtually pain free! He found me the perfect
boat for a great price. I was also very impressed
with the value of my trade in.
The service department has been
outstanding, taking care of any adjustments needed
quickly and at low cost. They are also happy to answer
any questions I may have at any time, and also provide
valuable tips to keep my boat running and looking
its best. David, in particular, was very helpful
and knowledgeable when it came to making minor adjustments
to help my boat perform to its maximum potential.
You and your staff are also very quick to contact
the appropriate people to get any warranty work handled
promptly, 
so I can get back on the water as soon
as possible.
Heather was also very pleasant and friendly. She
provided some extra "flair" to my boat
to make it look extra special and turn some heads! I
am really enjoying my boat, and as you can see by
the picture, my son is excited about it too. I can't
wait to get him out on the water! Thank you again
for providing me with a wonderful bass boat. It has
been a pleasure doing business with everyone at your
shop.
Thank you again,
Jeff Rup

Darrell,
I wanted to take the time to thank you and your
team for your outstanding commitment to customer
service. I appreciate all the effort each of you
put in on my boat to get it repaired and delivered
back to me. I ran it this weekend and everything
went well. This is the type of service that will
keep people doing business with your dealership.
Mike has been great to deal with on the pickup and
delivery. It has been a pleasure working with all
of you.
Thank you,

Hey Sandi, Nick, Brian,
I
just wanted to thank you guys and everyone in your
company for such great service. I would highly recommend
Anglers Choice to anyone looking to buy a new or
used boat. Ever since my first phone call to Brian
to the pick-up of the boat you guys were nice, helpful,
experienced, I could not ask for more. I bought the
boat without even coming to see it. The day I came
to pick it up I was astounded at how beautiful it
looked. It's always a tough decision to buy an expensive
boat especially when buying it on-line from a dealer
you don't know, I am very happy I did it with you.
Brian is one of the best salesmen I have ever seen.
I too own a company and have sales people. Brian
made my experience so nice, easy and smooth. He made
sure I was happy and answered all of my numerous
questions. Nick was awesome, made me feel important
and treated me like a friend. Your service Dept.
Darrel, Dave, Greg are all great, very knowledgeable
and always ready to help.
You not only gained a happy customer you gained
a life time customer. Thank you all so much and I'll
see you next year on the Anglers Choice tournament
trail.
