A couple of weeks ago, I decided to purchase a new GPS. As luck would have it Jim made a post under the electronics section promoting his electronics sale.

I really don't quite understand why BOE is so sucessful... Heck when I called, I believe Jim answered the phone and I introduced myself. I then thought it doesn't sound like I have been re-routed halfway across the world. So I asked a couple of more questions and it then Jim had the answers immediately......Wait a minute...He didn't have to check Garmin's website and look up the info. and then read it to me verbatim.... Afterwards, he then suggested a Garmin 430 which would be a better application for my purposes. How did he know this might be a better unit for me????? Once again, he did not have to go to a cheat sheet to figure this out. Mmmmh, does customer service and product knowledge still exist today???? Well it does at BOE Marine. Thanks for the 430 and vision card. I hope to be out on the lake this weekend for a trial run.

I couldn't agree with you more, although I've found a few things cheaper else where knowing Jim knows what customer service is all about I'm happy to pay a little extra.
 
Hey Jim, ever think of doing "Group Buys"?
Might work out nice for BOE and us here on the forum!
 
Before Jim gets a big head let me say two things.

He did the same thing to me when I called about a Northstar system I was interested in and purchased.

I have talked with him at two boat shows and he is as regular a guy as one could hope to meet.

Oh well to late his head just got bigger.:smt043

Keep up the good work.
