Hi Wayne,

Just wanted to shoot through an email letting you know how I'm getting on with the new toy.
I wanted to start by thanking you for everything, the whole process of buying a boat was not only stress free, but every step of the way I felt confidently informed, despite my being 1000 km's away.
I was a little nervous buying a boat that I hadn't even seen in the flesh let alone test driven, however the readily available info along with reviews and my own research made me feel secure in my decision.
I just took the yet to be named 'other woman' down to Narooma on the NSW south coast for a week of learning and experimenting with my partner, 5 year old daughter and Staffy. The trip down the Clyde mountain was a little hair-raising, but I think this was more to do with me being unused to towing such a load (and that I was still being precious and didn't want to scratch her!). Once on the water I had trouble finding any fault at all, and can safely say that so far she has met and exceeded all expectations - I've attached a few photos to show you how we got on.
The boat's been getting a fair bit of attention and inquiries along the way as well and I've been quick to sing Streaker's praises. I couldn't be happier with you guys and the boat - she'll be getting
alot of use over the coming years fishing with the boys and relaxing with the family.
I also wanted to thank Andy for towing her to Canberra for me, I don't think I could have done it first off!
I'll keep you informed how we're going, I might need to ask the odd question every now and again. I also wanted to order 4 spare bung plugs for the back (the large centre one) as I've tried a few shops
but the size is a bit different.
I'll be in touch,
Best regards,
Scott Rose

To Streaker Boats,
I must say it was a pleasant surprise to be able to do business with what can only be describe as a very professional organisation. My wife and I travelled interstate to inspect a boat, which can leave one in a vulnerable position after spending that amount on travel. This was far from the case at Streaker.
From the moment we walked in the door and were greeted by a smiling Denise, to meeting face to face with Wayne Adolphson (as all previous communication had been via e mail) we were made to feel welcome and at ease. We inspected the boat and Wayne was attentive and helpful with our questions, then provided us with the free space and time to discuss privately the features of the boat.
At this time we decided to go ahead with the water test and were fortunate enough to have Shaun Savage as the test pilot. Shaun continued the professional approach and demonstrated genuine customer service. We only needed a very short time on the water ( which I might add was on a day with water so rough most people would not venture out) to agree that the 5.45 Tournament was definitely the boat for us.
When we returned to the dealership we were again provide opportunity to privately discuss our thoughts without feeling neglected.
Paul Savage provided all the necessary information re transport for us to be able to ship her home on the 3,000K road journey to Cairns, along with options to protect the keel in the less than ideal launch areas we have to contend with up here.
It is not often you get the chance to talk boats to the guys who design and build the boat, this is very reassuring especially when it is the same organisation you are buying the boat from.
A very nice touch was the bottle of bubbly (saving that to she arrives in NTH QLD) and the owners plaque in the boat. We will wear the Streaker caps with pride as well.
Paul and the team definitely demonstrate that genuine customer service is not only available, it is alive and well in this day and age.
As soon as our baby is delivered from the transport we will start enjoying the Great Barrier Reef in our Streaker boat.
Will we recommend the team and the 5.45 Tournament to other people?, without a doubt !
Thanks again to all the team
Brad and Helen
