I have recently been involved in the purchase of an older Viking 53′ Convertible. Two of your team members assisted me in this endeavor. Carrie Chambers assisted in the financing end of the deal and John King assisted me in the search for and actual purchase of the vessel. I know how difficult it can be to arrange financing these days – Carrie was on top of things from the start and even when the inevitable snags appeared she was able to work with me and the bank to move things forward. She was always very responsive and her professionalism was exemplary. Without her help I’m certain this could not have been done. John was involved with me from the start of my search. He made multiple trips with me to view different vessels over the past few months and I saw vessels from Connecticut to Tampa to Miami. John was an excellent advisor on what to look for and how to navigate the negotiation to close the deal. I had nothing but confidence in his knowledge of the business and knew I had someone that would help me get the best deal. Both of these team members of Galati were a complete pleasure to work with and I would recommend you and your team to any of my friends in the market for new boats or used boats.
