Transcript – Cleaned Up for Clarity (Fully Accurate):

“Captain Dave here on the Tuna.com, way back here at the backside of my engine room here by my shaft.

I want to thank you guys at Arid—Arid Bilge Systems—for a great system.

This is the first time I’ve ever used one. I didn’t know anything about it.
I do now.

But I could not be happier.

We got our bilges to stay completely dry—that being up in the front, that being the engine room, and that being in the Lazarette.

This thing is absolutely incredible.

Just looking down there right now, there’s not a drop of water.

And rest assured, there’s not a drop of water up in the front or in the Lazarette.

Again—just a great system.

To me, it’s a new product. And again—I just could not be happier.

Again, thank you very much for your sponsorship.”
