Q. How many pages do I get in the Captain's Report?
A. It depends on the age of the model, the number of prior owners, and the completeness of the records. Some reports are just 6-8 pages long, others are more than 30!
Q. I just want a quick check of a boat file for a boat I am thinking about buying. How long does that take?

Q. The two and a half hours for the Annual Support Package doesn't sound like enough time.

Q. When can I call for help?
A. Our "office hours" are 8 am and 4 pm ET M-F. Understanding that both our European owners and those "down under" have time zone issues, we can be available at other times by prior arrangement. Just email us to set up a special time.
