CUSTOMER COMMENTS
Huck,
We had to drop you a line to tell you that we had a great time on your houseboat last month. There were nothing
but raves from our entire group.
We are making plans to take a trip on the mighty Mississip
next spring/summer. We definitely will be making our arrangements with Huck's next year and if possible every year. We were
extremely satisfied with the service provided by your crew.
We were also impressed with the cooperation that
you receive from the marina pro's. If you need a reference from a satisfied customer feel free to have folks
email us.
