Test drove my new ride at Mohave Saturday. WOW! 496HO/Bravo1 Xdrive! And I waited how long to trade in my 19 foot production boat? I'm glad I did. Essex came through with an outstanding product. Lots of big and little things that set it apart from some of the other builders. Can't wait for summer.

Congrats- what a beautiful boat. Is that the one in ***boat Mag? I absolutely love those graphics-stunning, classy, everything you could want IMO. Enjoy the boat--it looks great.

Very nice looking Valor. That boat is just awesome. Almost traded in my Sterling for one at the 2002 LA Boat Show

Congrats. Nice boat.:cool: Essex builds an awesome boat. I seriously considered the Valor when I was shopping last summer. But I really wanted something with a mid-cabin open bow and I didn't care for there Tempest. Good luck and have fun with it.

Beautifull boat. It sure is nice to see an Essex that isn't purple and green. How many of those color boats did they make?

It's not the one from the ***boat spread. Similar though. Being graphically impaired, I relied on Essex's painter "Jim" to bring the changes I wanted to life. It came out of the mold flawless.
I've already discovered that dark cherry is not exactly user friendly with the water spots.
Thanks for the compliments.

I've seen that Sanger being towed behind a root beer brown '72 Dodge Van with a howling coyote mural painted on the side. Don't you have a rainbow sticker on the back window of the van too? Also, how did you edit out the picture of your brother using the shaft of a water ski flag to check your fuel level. Just kidding. I just wish you had a better selection of 8-track tapes to listen to while your at the fuel dock every 23-minutes. Abba and Leo Sawyer, although great, do get old after while.

Essex makes a very nice boat and seems to have a good group of owners. We picked out Sterling at the end of Sept. and can't say enough good things about it.
See you all at the regatta!
