View Full Version : Grand Marlin / Valet Boat Services Standing Aside

G'day Guys,

Sadly, a very tough but necessary decision has been made.

As of the end of June I will not be continuing to operate Valet Boat Services.
Valet is not closing the doors, just being set aside for an unknown length of time.
In a time of need Family has to help each other. My Father currently requires my help with his personal and business dealings.

I will still be contactable for advice both on Ausfish and phone, and I can still supply items such as the Simrad / Lowrance products if needed, but I will not be able to install them.
My Haines Patriot will be kept up to date with the latest products and will still be available for demonstration.

A big thank you to everyone for your support so far and let's see what the future brings.

Cheers

Pete

First off Pete, I hope all goes well with your dad.
There will be a lot of people that will miss your service and I hope you continue to be a voice of knowledge here on Ausfish as you are a very welcome source of info and advice to many here.

Wow I didnt expect to read that, but as has been said family (and good freinds) should always come first. Your knowledge, help, morals and workmanship have well and truly proven themselves on here and through the people you have met mate so if and when you decide to revisit Valet you shall have no trouble watsoever picking up where you left off.

I know you have had a rough 'family' trot in the last little while so do whatever you have to do to sort all that first and then worry about everything else later.

Talk soon

Mate, you have always seemed to me to be a selfless gentleman - I truly hope karma will serve you and your family well.

It is good that we will have you staying in contact on the forum.

Best wishes Pete and take care mate.

Look forward to catching up with you personally in happier times soon.

Best wishes with helping out your dad. Remember what I do for a living if you need to chat about something in that regard.

Hope it gets sorted and you can get back to playing jokes again soon.

All the best Pete.
I am sure I speak for all of the Ausfish community in saying "If there is anything you need help with just let us know."
I'm sure we would all like the opportunity to repay some of your generosity.
