I am really pleased with them, well worth the money…

The pictures don’t do them justice… They improve the looks of a boat and not to mention the dreaded condensation! I am really pleased with them, well worth the money. Thank you for your service and we both wish yourselves and the company's future success.

We have only recently been on Phoenix since the job has been done and, as a result, canvassed everybody for some feed-back which, I have to say, has been outstanding. If, in any way, we can be of assistance in driving your company forward - please do not hesitate to ask.

It’s one of the things we regularly say was worth it. Fantastic all through last winter when we were iced in for 8 weeks... of course, we’re not foolish enough to think there will never be any condensation – but it was minuscule. Our last boat was a nightmare.
