I recently purchased my first and not the last copy of DIY and I must tell you that your magazine has hit the mark! A publication for those of us that either would like to do it ourselves or have to do it ourselves!
-Dave Green

Love DIY I just wished it was published more often. It's become my favorite reading for boating info. Keep up the good work.
-David L. Roberts, Malvern, Pennsylvania

I've been a subscriber and hold every issue of DIY since your inception. Great magazine and the best on this subject that there is.
-Charles Monroe, "Ebb Tide," Solomons, Maryland

I make DIY required reading by all employees at Ontario Boat and Engine Works. There has not been an issue yet that someone hasn't learned something from reading DIY. Your articles are super and technical information is top notch. This publication should be an industry standard for all in the boating business. I don't think there is a finer boating publication anywhere in North America.
-Peter Godwin, Ontario Boat & Engine Works, Orangeville, Ontario

Thanks for the recommendation of Ultimate Sole Finish (www.ultimatesole.com). It's great. I used it to finish the new teak and holly sole I laid in my 1979 Carver 26' (7.9m) fly bridge sedan. I recommend it to everyone.
-Frank Roberts, Calabasas, California

Having lived on the West Coast for many years, Carol and I have acquired a variety of older wooden boats and skiffs and a collection of old inboard and outboard marine motors. The maintenance of this equipment is primarily my responsibility, which is why I await, with anticipation, each issue of DIY both for the technical information and to see photographs of other poor souls stuck working on their boats. Thank you for a great magazine.
-Bill Smith, Prince Rupert, British Columbia

Customer service is often talked about but you deliver the goods. I sailed on merchant ships as an engineer and owned a marina in the Florida Keys, so I'm looking forward to a long relationship with your excellent publication.
-Reagan Tucker, San Antonio, Texas

Congratulations on a great magazine. I can't understand why a subscription to your magazine isn't mandatory before owning a boat!
-Marc Faubert, Serrano II, Gatineau, Quebec

I have been a DIY subscriber for one year. The articles are extremely well written and helpful in maintaining my Maxum 2800SCR. The excellent color photographs and the specificity of correcting a problem, install an accessory or select an antifouling paint are all a tremendous benefit to boat owners. You and your staff are to be complimented on a job well done.
-Alan W. Gorenstein, Vienna, Virginia

Thank you for your prompt attention to my phone call and subscription renewal. I'm delighted to be a subscriber and a beneficiary of the knowledge and wisdom found in the pages of DIY magazine and in the responses from your technical staff when a message requesting help is submitted to the Technical Helpline.
-Paul D. Bohac. Panama City, Florida

I am very impressed with the rapid response by DIY. It confirms that customer service still exists in good companies.
-Jack Bokkers, Andrew James, Oshawa, Ontario

The magazine is a gem and the seminars shine bright. What we learned at the seminar translated directly into results when we redid the faded, chalky hull on our boat. She looks like a new boat now. You provided the know-how and we took care of the rest, with great results. We, and our boat, thank you.
-Steve and Pam Haines, Boaz, Kentucky

I love the magazine and the services you provide, more recently the assistance through the Technical Helpline on propeller shaft packing. I finally found a legitimate hobby, expensive, but a hobby nevertheless and I’m having a ball with this whole thing. I wake up Saturday morning, throw on my work clothes and go to my other job!
-James Discher, Irving, Texas

I wanted to let you know that after receiving help from the Technical Helpline on my 1987 Catalina 30’s deck delamination, I followed your advice and replaced the core. I removed a 2m by 45.7cm (7' by 18) wide piece on the port and starboard sides. I was pleased with the results. Also impressed were my dock neighbors who told me I was nuts to take on this job. Unfortunately, I didn’t take pictures. Thanks for the help. I’ll be a faithful subscriber for as long as I’m into boating.
-Randy Sherwood, Charlotte, Michigan

Thank you for your help! It's really nice to know if I have some type of boat maintenance question, I have someone to ask without feeling embarrassed or stupid about asking the question.
-Steven J. Walke, Kitty, Panama City, Florida
