1052.1SURGEONS AND CALIBERSVIA::RUDYThu Dec 01 1988 20:2716
    	I am not too familiar with the boat but I did know the owner
    of a Caliber 28, 34 and now a 38.  His name is Tom Smith but I have
    not spoken to him for a couple years.  He happens to be the surgeon
    pictured int the Caliber advertisements.  All I can say is he was
    always very satisfied with his 28 and 34 including the performance
    as a cruising boat(He did not race). 
    
    	The only problem he had with his new 34 was a minor part failure
    with the engine that was simple enough to fix just an inconvenience 
    at the time.
    
    	If you are interested in giving him a call I will see if I can 
    locate his phone number.  Let me know by mail.
    
    

1052.2Consider the dealer, too !DASXPS::LANEFri Dec 02 1988 17:429
    I bought a used boat from the Caliber dealer in Hingham,Ma. two
    years ago.  If you're considering doing business with him give me
    a call.
