Boat on way to us to prep, fell off trailer before it was prepped and sent to new customer.

We stood behind deal and gave the buyer another boat that was nicer for basically same deal to help him out.

Before we made final decision what to do with boat, local customer came in looked at boat and said he wanted and wanted to pick colors, new interior, etc.

Regards,

Pier 57

Buyer backed out? after damager reported? (cant emagin getting that news after your dream boat is heading you way)

you guys are stuck with a boat to fix, and your insurance has to cover?

new buyer calls and wants to work a deal?

Anyone who wonders why it is expensive to paint a boat like this needs to look at the pics. The detail is over the top....

Yes all very true, I was the one getting the boat, and I got a call from Scott, on my birthday "he didnt know that" and he told me what happened,so I had better birthdays.So Scott called me the next day and like Allen said and I said before Scott is stand up guy,he did the deal and gave me a newer boat and ate the loss. He didnt have to do that, he could have backed out and said sorry, but he didn't and within the next week he shipped me my MTI with alot of phone calls wondering wheres the boat now. lol

Update - MTI arrived to Chattanooga mid day yesterday and ran a few shake down runs. Boat performed great as expected! Today the boat will be running in the Chattanooga Powerboat Club Run. More pics to follow.

Thank You,
