He is good,thanks for asking, I called him today and told him he was the first to break his face on my boat, he told me to shut up and dont make him laugh, he is sore. I'm just thankful he didnt break any bones or lose teeth. I told him chicks dig scars he grinned with the other half of his face(as he said) and told me to shut up again.

What all are talking about, is the reason I drive from the east coast to Chicago, to Scott Shogren. All the cards on the table, not tricks. I am in Md and still if I need service for trailer, or boat they find a way to make it happen. Scott, Greg and Bruce are good as it gets. Have delt with Pier 57, also, David and JJ are the same way. When you find dealers you trust it makes the process a lot easier. Of course the hell you go through to find them makes the process, that is supposed to be fun, a nightmare. I dont know why, but only in the marine industry do you drop 200-300k on a boat and get treated like a step child by some dealers. To my way of thinking, they should be bending over backwards to get your business, but some act like they are doing you a favor by even talking to you. Thats why I deal with dealers I trust.

Scott gave me a verbal IOU, nothing in writing, to the tune of a couple grand. Paid in full; in conjunction with David Woods who split the due with Scott. Good people and am lucky to have them 1 hr away.
Good dealers create happy boating vs getting fk'd and being mad everytime you hook up.

This forum always cracks me up. Relentless is a great word to describe the members of this forum. Boat buying has always been a tough game of chance no matter who you are. My personal opinion is that this gentleman went to Lake Cumberland with the best of intentions. After reading and lurking here for a few years, would draw a conclusions that LCM is a stand-up business and a company that properly represents their boat. Hence, the driving from South Florida to trade sight-unseen. That is not an uncommon practice. It all falls back to the representation on the net and over the phone. This gentleman sensed something wasn't right and for the price he was agreeing to pay his expectations were as high as it was represented. An engine room detail probably could have solved alot of problems. I understand the frustration of this gentleman. I too have walked away from deals because of misrepresentation. A survey probably would have saved some money. LCM still has zero response to this. It must not be a big deal to them.

Hello Tbonepmp,
Wish I had an update for you saying that they called me and were making things right by sending me a check. Unfortunately, I haven't heard from them at all and as you can see they don't seem to care enough to post a response for what is sure to be one of their largest customer bases. I don't get it...
The good news is that I've found a nearly new boat to purchase. (only 10 hours) It's not a Cigarette and more money but hopefully does away with these type of issues. I'll let everyone know when I get it and I'll post some pics too. Thanks for everyone's advice.
Btw, in the event that they do post something requiring a reply from me and I don't, just so everyone knows I'll be out of town for a week and not able to be on-line.
