Dear Terry, Tom, and Carisa,
We just wanted to drop a line and say, "thank you", for all you did in getting our houseboat sold. Thanks
to you our houseboat sold in 7 months and it was located in Oklahoma. We so appreciate all you did for
us, including handling the closing of the sale. We will recommend you to anyone looking for a broker.

Terry,

I wanted to thank you for your help buying our cruiser. The family loves the boat and the marina. We have already spent several weekends on Lake Cumberland and are having a great time.

Thanks again for all your help,

Dear Terry,

Ed and I are still feasting on the wonderful day we had with you Saturday viewing our dream boat. It is no surprise after meeting you why you are so successful and have repeat customers. Ed said he would really like to deal with you when we buy a boat.

Thanks again, Mikie

Hi Terry,

Carisa was great..we were all over that marina! We are still running through all of the information...we looked at 8-9 houseboats Saturday, so my head is sort of spinning. I'll let you know what we decide...thanks for your great customer service!

Just a note to compliment Lisa again. I made her Sunday rather difficult. But she did a great job of working between two stubborn parties. She really represented my interests very well. I couldn't have asked for more!
You and your company are great!!

Summer,

Carisa,

Just a short note to thank you again for referring me to Mark Proffit of Lake City to move my pontoon house boat. I had difficulty in finding someone who was equipped and close enough to move me cost effectively.
Mark and his wife were just amazing. They showed up when scheduled, loaded the boat without incident (they really made it look easy), transported the boat from Portmouth, Ohio to South Holston near Bristol, TN. again without incident and quickly and efficiently. He also helped me do some maintenance to the motor while out of the water and helped me get running after some carb trouble. We could not have been more pleased.
Mark and his wife have my highest recommendation, and I owe you a heap of thanks for putting us together.

We have really enjoyed the boat. It is the perfect boat for us.

Thanks again,

Terry,

I just wanted to take a moment and tell you how much I and my family appreciated all the help that Jake Pyzik has given us. We meet Jake on Saturday at Sulpher Creek with full intentions of closing a deal that day, however much to our dismay it fell through. However Jake has given us tips on boats contacted us when he has something that he thinks might accommodate our family. However we found another boat that was for sale through an individual that would accommodate our family.

I just wanted to say thank you for having a great sales team and someone who is not pushy. We all appreciated that and we enjoyed working with Jake and I have recommended him to several friends that are looking for boats this summer.

You have an excellent web site and all of your information is up to date. Again, thank you both for all of the help from keeping us informed on boats, to referring a boat mover.

Thanks,
Stephanie

Keep up the good work on reporting on the lake and dam. We are in Florida for the winter and not much news on the dam or lake here. See you in April.

Terry,

Please thank Lisa (Blakeman) for spending the day with us on Saturday. It was
SOOOO cold but she was a great host! After looking at boats in 5 states we
have narrowed our choices to 4 boats, the good news is you have 2 of the
boats we like! Both Stella and I felt your company has been the best to work
with so I want to make an offer on our 2nd favorite boat- the 1998
Lakeview.
Terry thanks again, your company has been great to work with.

Hi Terry,

My husband & I used to houseboat for several years on the Herrington Lake.
I enjoyed looking at your beautiful houseboats, and also went to a link where you can
rent them. I'm totally amazed at how much can be packed into the new "big"
houseboats. WOW!! They are incredible!!!
Just wanted to tell you that I enjoyed your website. I won't be looking to buy---just
curiosity. You have a very nice website!!

Bobbie in Lexington, KY.

Lisa (Blakeman),

Just want you to know how much we have enjoyed working with you. Your
sweet personality and enthusiasm for what you do is what sold this boat.

 Thank you so much,

Good morning!  I currently live in McCook, Nebraska. Although not etched in stone, I'm contemplating moving to the Fort Myers, Florida area and wondered if you might have connections that would enable me to purchase a houseboat in that area. I'm interested in living on the boat year round.

After hours of searching on the web, I thought your site was the best.

Thanks,
John

Terry,

My name is Troy and I have been looking for houseboats on
the web for quite some time. My purpose is so that I have a better knowledge
of "What to look for" and "How much am I going to get for my dollar".
Your website has enormous amounts of products for any dollar amount. I like
your site very much and will use it to help me stay informed, Thank you.
 I have questions about houseboats in general and would like your opinion please. What is the R-factor on the insulation of a houseboat. I know this answer will vary, but there should be some kind of industry standard. The reason I am asking is I want to know if I can live year round on the boat. April-October on the water, October-April off the water. I live in North Dakota and that means REALLY cold, approximately coldest in January and temps.
are around 0-10deg. average. If you could help me out on that, I would be very grateful.

Thank you again,

Troy

If it wasn't for stumbling across your site, we would still be unhappy landlubbers.
This lifestyle has changed our lives, I don't think we will ever live on land again!

Thanks,

Hey Lisa (Blakeman),

I want to thank you all for getting my boat sold. I really appreciate
your professionalism. I'll be back into the "boat business", and if I don't build another one,
I'll certainly seek you out. You have a fine company.

Thanks again,
Jon

Hello Jake,

I am in New Zealand and am amazed at the selection and quality of your Houseboats.
I have some questions :

-We are looking for one to live on and do our boating in the Hauraki Gulf out of Auckland. There are many Islands and sheltered bays but moderate seas sometimes have to be crossed.

-What would be the cost to ship say a 40' one to New Zealand ?

I look forward to your comments.
Regards,
Emil and Barbara

September, 2006
Dear Terry,

After talking to Bob some more, we've decided that we really need for a trailer to come with the boat; we actually have an appointment 1 week from tomorrow to go up to Northern AZ to check out a cabin cruiser. If it doesn't work out, we'll be sure to keep your website in mind while we continue on our search for our "dream boat". You have one of the best websites that I've come across and believe me, I've spent MEGA hours searching.

Thanks again,
Cheryl

Dear Terry,

I can't tell you how my wife and I appreciate all that you and Elizabeth have done for us!
You are TRUE!!! professionals!! I will be down this weekend and stop by to see you. I owe you more than the contract fee, you all went way out of the way to sell our boat!
Talk to you soon.

THANKS AGAIN FOR EVERYTHING!

Terry,

I was just sitting here on the back deck of the Cumberland Classic I bought off you last fall, watching the sunset on the lake, and was thinking of the day I decided to buy this boat. So I thought I’d shoot you and email to say thanks. I named her the Margaret Elizabeth after my grandmothers. I have made a few changes too, I put a flat screen TV on the wall and put a fireplace in the space where the TV was, it’s the talk of the dock here. I am planning to add a flybridge sometime soon. Anyways, hope all is well at Lake Cumberland.

YOUR WEB SITE IS GREAT!!! IS THE 1992 JAMESTOWNER 16' X 62' ALUMINUM HULL W/ CATWALKS STILL FOR SALE?
THANKS, LINDA

Hi Terry,
I wanted to thank you for all of your help in selling our houseboat and I
know as soon as I get ready to buy I will call you. It is such a pleasure to
work with you and Tom.

Hi Terry,
Just a quick intro and to let you know how much my wife and I love
your web-page. We are constantly scanning it and the boats, dreaming
of the day we can move back south and buy us a "live aboard" houseboat.

We are joining my brother and his family this May at Dale Hollow
(Cedar Hill Resort) for a short 1 week vacation and have already
reserved a 50 footer for the stay. Cant hardly wait!

We have been living in Nebraska since my retirement from Uncle Sam's
Canoe Club (I say that in jest - best damn Navy in the world) but
lately both of us have been missing not only the weather down there,
but also the people, customs and lifestyle. I sometimes call my
brother just to hear the southern accent...is that homesick or what?

Anyway, when we are ready to purchase our houseboat, rest assured you
and your company will be the first to hear from us!

Sincerely,
Paul

Terry,

Great selections!  This is the best website I've found for used houseboats.  Do you have an idea what the cost would be to transport a 16 x 70 houseboat to Lake Texhoma, on the Texas/Oklahoma border?
 
Thanks,
 Bruce

March 2006
Terry,

I would like to say thank you to both you and your husband for the information you provided and your time. It is easy to see why your business is successful. I would absolutely recommend your business to anyone looking to purchase a used houseboat. Let me know if I can assist you in any way in the future. I will also be contacting the financing and insurance folks that you introduced me to at the show. Thanks again for your help. Paul.

Terry,

Once again it has been great working with you, and we will continue to refer anyone we
know to you. We are really sorry that you didn't have a boat listed that
was a good fit for us. Maybe next time. And we all know that there will
be a next time!!

Take Care,
Nick & Dawn

Hi Terry,

Just a quick note to say it was a pleasure meeting you and to thank you
for the professional and courteous service you provided during the purchase
of my boat. I am truly grateful for the patience you demonstrated.

Thanks again, and I will tell all of my envious friends where they can
go to get a boat of their own.

Regards,

Terry,

We just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for taking your time to show us various houseboats and spend so much time with us, this past Memorial Day Weekend. We really do appreciate it.
Just to refresh you memory we are the couple from Gatlinburg, TN and we looked at the 2004 84ft boat among others. You were nice enough to arrange for us a pass to look at the Boats over in the campground area on Pier 5.
We are very interested in what you have to offer and will be back to Monticello soon. We have narrowed down some of the issues we discussed and would like for you to keep a look out for us. We have decided that we wish to stay around 57 ft. in lenght and 14 ft or wider beam. Remember we have 2 small dogs so we need steps to the top deck that are Friendly. 3 bedrooms, Twin engines, and nicely appointed inside.
Obviously we still have many questions and look forward to meeting with you again. You helped us in so many ways and again we wish to say "Thanks."

Dear Terry,

We wanted to thank you for lending an ear and uttering words of advice throughout the sale of our boat. We are well aware that you are quite busy, but you took time to offer your services to us when we were not buying a boat from you. It was nice to know someone so knowledgeable was available to answer questions and would provide honest answers. The sale of the boat was rocky at times, but it worked out in the end.

We enjoyed looking at boats with you at Conely Bottom. We recently bought a boat at Grove Marina. We will contact you again in a few years when we are looking for another boat.

Thank you, again,
Dominique and Jeff

Terry,

I’ve got the Spring Fever and I was browsing your website. I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed going through the Photo Albums that you have. The pictures are heart warming on a cold, dreary day.  Hope everything is going well for all. Have a great year and hope to see you.

Terry,

It was a pleasure for Pam and I to meet you at the Houseboat Expo Friday night. As we are total novices in the area of houseboats and the purchasing of one. It was comforting to talk to someone who understands our position. We are very serious about purchasing a houseboat and enjoying a new lifestyle. We are looking forward to spending some time with you looking at the boats you have available.

Again, thanks for your time Friday night. We were beginning to feel a bit overwhelmed.

Terry,

First, before anything else, I want to make sure and thank you for the
wonderful job you have done for us in securing our new boat. Being a first
time Houseboater, your help has been very important in allowing us to make
what I think has been a very good decision.

Thanks,
Doug

Jan. 2005
Terry,

Chris was very complimentary on you and how you do business. I feel that we were very lucky that Laura happened to pick the boat she did so that we have the opportunity to work with the best in the business. Thanks for all your help, and I look forward to seeing you again on Sunday !

Thanks,
Doug

Terry,

Jackie delivered the houseboat yesterday. I had him go ahead and paint the bottom even though it might have held another year or two. Anyway, it looks great, Jackie is a great guy to work with and I would highly recommend him. He said he would come get it and paint it again next time. My wife and I are quite pleased with the boat, my "neighbors" at the lake were quite impressed as well. Hope to meet you in person someday. Thanks for the tee shirts as well. I really have enjoyed reading the scriptures on your web site, I pull it up all most every day, keep it up. Maybe in a few years when I retire we can open up the Norris Lake division of Houseboats Buy Terry!!!!!!!! Thanks again for everything.
God speed, Tom and Geneva

Ahoy,

Thanks for your kind hospitality. Whether we buy through you or not (and I am 'leaning' toward it -- but want to crunch the numbers and the pluses and minuses with Jim) I want you to know that we've always appreciated your knowledge and support in this process. You’re a salesperson, as you should be, but at some level, I think you really do want the customer to end up with the 'right boat' for them. That means a lot.

Hello,

I'm Todd and I'm the guy that called Terry Sat. evening
wondering if she thought I could get a loan on an older boat.
It's a 1971 Lazy Days. Its sounds like a steel considering what they
are selling for.
I have A+ credit. Yet still is difficult finding financing due
to the age. Based on the net and all the houseboat forums I've skimmed, Terry
is the best of the best. I don't know where else to turn w/ that
said.

Thank you for taking the time to help me,
Todd

Sept. 2004
Terry,

I wanted to thank you for telling me about Lake Cumberland Boat Movers. They
recently moved my 2003 16' X 84' Stardust from Lake Degray to the Arkansas River
in Little Rock. It was a pleasure to do business with them. Your
recommendation was a God send.
Thank you
Greg & Debbie


Sept, 2004
Hi Terry,

I  would be very interested in the above boat if it is still for sale. I am in the UK but I am prepared to come over to view it. The key question is I want to take it to Jamaica.  Do you know of any way freight/shipping companies etc. that would take it to Negril for me and at what cost. I am looking for a houseboat now, and check your website every day, my only problem is getting it to Jamaica.  Can you assist.

 Thanks,
 Mr I abdool
August, 2004

Terry, thank you for all of the information about houseboats on your website. Your boat listings are excellent, I checked your website many times for the catamaran style houseboats, which we prefer.
Thanx again, Dave

Terry,

Just wanted to say we love our boat!

Good morning Terry,

Our first weekend on the boat went great! I really appreciate all your help and coordination efforts throughout this past week in seeing the sale through especially on such short notice.
We really look forward to having 3 or 4 years of pleasure and relaxation on "License to Chill" until we get a case of twofootitis in which case, we'll be back to see you.
Again, thanks for all your help.
