Dear Franks® & Hairy,

It has been nearly ssx;nonlhs since the new PSI stsrfeee drives have been installed audlfckh was time so let you kftow exactly how things are going and how pleased we are with our investment

Just to be clear, prior to the installation of (fee new PSI drives the previous outdrives were lasting 2-3 weeks. Esehthne whadadrivc&iluretbcrefcuild was $1600 a»d fee round trip ^l^g^dKiej^ofdieiiRvea was another $500. ifyou^to itthejmiBtmmce time to tmiall a drive, fee opportunity cost* of what fee inaiatenanee department coald be accomplishing, the teas of customer revenue, and Ifaa cHStomer du^'sfacrion, fee cost of each could easily foe pfeeed ^ $3500.

The ongoing drive fetlares also placed the Resort in a position of high potential liability for w, and vessel should the outdrive failure occur during a key maneuver or during

To sure it up the ongoing outdrive Mutes wc were experiencing were costing the Resort dearly in both direct and indirect costs. flow for fee positive acm. Since we have installed your PSI outdrives fee boat has only been down for six hours which could be attributed direcdy to the drives, That is during nearly six months of operation! Sufi* a conservative estimate I feel we have saved nearly $26,000 sa diiect easts in fee fins* six months.

Also, the installation of the PSI drives has benefitted us in two very unexpected ways, fits?, during fee first few months of 1999 the water levels &r Lake Havasa were the lowest seen in nearly a decade. It would have foeen virility impossible to operate fee heat is fee marina car channel during this t«a>e had the sew drives no? been installed, the 108 - 12s lesser draft made it possible. If the old drives were m operation the fetfure rste would have doubted because of fee inevitable hits taken from the lake bottom.

The direct savings we have experienced since fee installation of the PS! drives such as drive rebuilds, shipping, and f^ riowever, the many other benefits such as improved customer satisfaction, captain and crew confidence, ami overall Resort morale may bs even more important to consider as part of die equation. 1 truly believe that when everything » counted fee new PSI drives have My paid lor themselves in the short six months we hove had themiauae.
