as part of buying a very high dollar item from someone some basic investigation is useful.
I might check dunn and bradstreet, there is a very small fee, but it is useful.
I might check the CRIMINAL records of the builders, might be something there.
I might check with the people who WERE dealers, and are not now.
Check the secretary of state, the BBB, and State Attorney General for background info.
This industry has some truly great people who play by the rules, and some who will screw you in a second flat. You are the only one who has a dollar to lose in the deal, so there is no one else alive who can check these things.
Everyone should do their own research, if this were a $30 itme, who cares, the worst that can happen is you lose $30, no one feel the pain of losing that for long, but a boat???? That is a different story.

Dean,
I am sorry to hear of your problems with Profile.
Anyway, good luck with your Profile and hopefully you will be happy with the boat now. it sounds like you have it dialed in. Do you have any pics you can post?? What model do you have?
All boats seem to have their problems and bugs that need to be worked out in the beginning.
I am a firm believer that NONE of them are ever perfect.
