George Pongonis, the marine superintendent of the Virginia Institute of Marine Science comments on the quietness of the Westerbeke 4.5 kW gasoline generator:

This is to let you know how pleased we have become with the performance of the 4.5 BCGB Westerbeke generator that Engines 1 supplied for installation in our 28 foot, aluminum hull boat. The unit has run flawlessly during many long days of marine research work. What we have found most remarkable is the level of quietness that this generator exhibits. Even when the boat's main engine is at idle speeds, the sound of the generator is nearly undetectable...

Our kindest regards go out to everyone at Engines 1,

Ted Clements, PDQ project leader comments on 55A-Four Westerbeke diesels used on new Power-Cat catamarans:

"Our engines were produced in a tight time frame, faster than any competitor could offer.  And they took extraordinary measures to keep us on schedule, including personally driving across the border to pickup our engines and save another day of delivery time...  Within 15 minutes of starting up after launching, we began full trials - straight off.  There wasn't a single problem with the drive train.  And that's all you can ask of a engine and its builder.  The engines were quiet and ran well."

An experienced world voyager, yacht owner, and magazine editor comments on a Westerbeke 7.6 BTD diesel - electrical heart of "Boston Light", her new custom cruising yacht:

"It's divine!  I love that generator: you don't even know it's running.  And it does exactly what it's supposed to do, what more could you want?  I mean, given a description like this, I should marry it!"

Some words from a satisfied customer:

Russ,
Got the parts today that you promised me.  I want to thank you personally and Corporate Westerbeke for the service you have provided me in this matter.  I don't know of anything more you could have done short of coming to Daytona to do the work yourself.  Of all the different vendors that I deal with on a daily basis, Westerbeke is at the top of the list for Quality Service and Customer Service and I shall always speak very highly of Westerbeke and particularly you when the conversation turns to "What Generator Should We Buy?"
Thanks again.
