    I heartily endorse this as i have had lots of problems, including the
    larceny of false advertising and gross stupidity on the part of village
    marine tech.

    that being said, i have heard some positive reports on their smallest unit,
    but i would get the parts separately and cobble it up myself if you go that
    route.

    but from my point of view, any other company would have to be better

    also be aware that SK watermakers has been sold to a new owner since i had
    dealings with them and i have not had any experience with then new version
    of the company.

    the original fellow was very knowledgeable.

    sometimes when a company is sold the new version is just as good or better
    than the original. a fine example of this is St Brendans Isle, the
    cruisers [and others] mail service started by tom [seaskate]. the new
    owner Doug has taken the baton and run swiftly with it. he and his team
    have done so well there are now over three thousand clients.

    it is a deeply satisfying experience to have dealings with people of such
    rare and wonderful competence.
