What Makes Doug & Brenda a "Master Boating Couple"?

First, a quick bit of background...LadyBen is run by Scott & Jennifer Gingrich. Scott handles the web and marketing stuff while Jen is the "boating person", now 6th Generation in the boating business.

Jen's Dad grew up in his family's Marina (Dawson's on Lake Simcoe) and sold many of the boat makes now listed on LadyBen, most notably Shepherds and Trojans.

Doug & Brenda went on to form "Computer Boat Search", the world's first computer based MLS for boats...long before there was an Internet! They also published the "Boat Value Book" used by banks and insurance companies across Canada to calculate boat values for loans and insurance.

You can also read Doug's articles and boat reviews in Power Boating Canada where he serves as Senior Boat Tester.

After their recent sale of Computer Boat Search and Computer Boat Values, Doug & Brenda decided to open up their new website and share their years of boating know-how with boaters of all backgrounds and ages.
