This is regarding my recent purchase of my 51 Sea Ray. I wanted to let you know that my sales person, Elliot Falls, was outstanding. He was there for me before and after the purchase.

I have contacted him several times after the purchase, and he has either picked up the phone immediately or called me back very quickly. He is an asset to your company.
