| - This past Saturday I rented a boat form Todd & Craig at Skiwi Rentals. I rented a 9 passenger and had a 24 year, 19 year old, 2 16 year old's, a 15 year old and my girlfriend along for the ride. We showed up at 745am and Todd, as promised, got us all ready to go and we were off by about 845am. The boat was everything we needed, was in great shape and riding the waves with the AUX Ipod booming away we had an awesome day going! Until around 2pm!! Yes I did the unthinkable, I went over the ski rope and it jammed one of the motors. After following directions and trying to cut the rope away it was just not meant to be so I started up the second motor and we started our long slow ride back to the Marina. We didn't dock until after 6pm and that's when SKIWI closes so I was destined to have to keep the boat for the night, with nowhere to park it, talk about a nightmare in the making!!!!! I decided a long time ago that honesty is always the best policy so picked up the phone around 615pm and called Skiwi...they answered and I told them everything that had happened...to my amazement Todd said "don't worry mate we'll wait until you get here"! We loaded up, stopped by the gas station to fill the boat and got to SKIWI close to 730pm. Tools and razor in hand, Craig got to work fixing everything as they had it booked for a Sunday morning rental. In the half hour it took them to fix everything we got to know 2 hard working guys who plain and simple just do the right thing and make sure the customer always comes first. They didn't even dip into the $1000 deposit and my only promise to them was to drip off some cold beers this week. Their reaction, "don't bother dropping off the cold beer unless your gonna stay and drink a few with us". Folks if you need to rent a boat or Jetski, I implore you to go no further...These guys from New Zealand are tops and they give us all a little more faith in mankind!!!! Thanks Skiwi, you can use me as a reference ANYTIME and I'll see you later this week for a cold one!!! Cheers...
