Budsin Wood Craft

To say that Margaret & I have enjoyed Adagio on Lake Lure NC is a gross understatement. This craft is everything we expected and more. The design is flawless and the craftsmanship unbelievably fine in all respects. This is a work of art. We, and many, many others, just enjoy looking at her! And it gets so much better as you quietly move out of the boathouse and begin to cruise the lake. The creature comforts surround us, the boat handles flawlessly and, as she cuts through the water, you hear the sounds of water rather than the sounds of engine. A classic in all respects.

I am a very satisfied owner.....I have owned by Sweet Genevieve for 7 seasons now. I bought my lake house in 2001 and wanted a boat that was quiet, special and Green Environmentally......well after researching my options and talking to other owners.....the reviews were fabulous and I commissioned her to be built.....She and Tom have served me well.....no regrets.....only joy!!!! My relationship with Tom Hesselink has been ongoing as I have needed other parts, covers etc.....he has remained constant, professional and attentive to all my needs.....I work too much .....but when I do get a day or two off to enjoy.....my hassle free yacht brings me total enjoyment and peace.....Just plug her in and charge her up and you're ready for hours of sneaking up on Herons, Egrets, Beavers and Eagles.....and as an extra bonus she is easy on your eyes too...I get compliments constantly as I cruise by other lake homeowners....."What a Beautiful Boat.....and Quiet too!!!" Come Visit me up at Whaley Lake in Pawling NY.....just an hour 20 minutes North of NYC......and I will take you out for a spin.....

This boat (15' Lightning Bug) is magical. It is so quiet we sometimes startle the loons as we glide by. Cruising with some wine, some cheese, great friends and our perfect boat--it doesn't get any better.

My wife, Janice, and I have enjoyed the Budsin electric boat for 6 to 8 years. We keep it at Lake Oconee in Georgia and find it particularly enjoyable early mornings and evenings. Tom has always been available for questions, adjustments, new batteries, etc. and comes to Lake Oconee frequently for delivery of boats in Georgia. We recommend him, his product, and the enjoyment that comes with them.
