Our first read of him being a trustworthy individual was spot on. He proved his worth in helping us to realize and achieve our cruising dream. This man's knowledge and word are to be trusted. When business is done, he is still a pleasant fellow to know. We highly recommend John!   ###### LATEST POSTS [![Image of the related post](https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-03-19%20at%2010.09.38%20AM.png) ](https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/testimonials/beneteau-40-seller) [ Beneteau 40 - Seller ](https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/testimonials/beneteau-40-seller) [![Image of the related post](https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/hubfs/Hull-Port%20Side.jpeg) ](https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/testimonials/kelland-sewell-buyer-of-hylas-44-penn-station) [ Kelland Sewell - Buyer of Hylas 44 Penn Station ](https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/testimonials/kelland-sewell-buyer-of-hylas-44-penn-station) [![Image of the related post](https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/hubfs/Maria%20Christina.jpg) ](https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/testimonials/xavier-a.-seller-beneteau-49-maria-cristina) [ Xavier A. - Seller: Beneteau 49 Maria Cristina ](https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/testimonials/xavier-a.-seller-beneteau-49-maria-cristina) ###### Share [![Facebook](https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/hubfs/Website%20Images/facebook-color.png) ](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/testimonials/blog/dan-and-heather-rhodes-owners-of-hunter-50/781) [![Twitter](https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/hubfs/Website%20Images/twitter-color.png) ](https://twitter.com/share?url=https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/testimonials/blog/dan-and-heather-rhodes-owners-of-hunter-50/781&text=Dan%20and%20Heather%20Rhodes%20-%20Owners%20of%20Hunter%2050) [![Email](https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/hubfs/Website%20Images/email-color.png) ](mailto:?subject=Dan%20and%20Heather%20Rhodes%20-%20Owners%20of%20Hunter%2050&body=https://www.davidwaltersyachts.com/testimonials/blog/dan-and-heather-rhodes-owners-of-hunter-50/781) ##### TELL US ABOUT YOUR DREAM YACHT #### SEND US A MESSAGE Purchasing a bluewater vessel can be a daunting prospect, especially if it’s your first boat.
