89 have u been able to get the boat on it yet? springs a coming :drink:

I am going to put it on the trailer next week to have the motors put in it.

Kind of thought it might be you..but was not sure, Hows things in the Boat Biz?? Im over at Hampton ford auto body (Seacoast collision) if you ever need anything.. Sorry to hear about how your friend feels on his Deal. I had great luck with performance trailers He really got a much better trailer in the Long run than a aluminum Ibeam (flexible flyer) had some Bad luck with those in the past !!! Bob

i left my job also .i now run a cnc bridgeport @ a machine shop no more sat working always hated that part . sold the 382 and bought a really clean 312 w 496 ho.s . cant wait for first ride . anyways the trailer deal was a bummer my buddy works at rocky boat and had a trailer @ cost but i told him to get this instead . i got the trailer pics on oso [its still in the forums ]he paid bill upfront and picked it up at eastcoast flightcraft . stopped by my shop to show me and i noticed it right away no alum wheels no led lights he called from my shop and talked to bills wife . she said there was poss a mixup on the wheels happens quite often bill will call you back . till this day never talked to bill its a shame . my friends boat is yellow and red the trailer is teal green we new we were gonna paint it blk or silv and bill was supplying all new decals that didnt happen either . all in all if we new up front the outcome he would never have bouhgt this . his first year of boating with us too . oh well enough crying about this . back to boats maybe ill bump into you this summer theirs about 7-9 of us all run together all formulas usually at cranes beach or the annsquam maybe we can meet sometime

Now that we have weekends:grinser010: Sounds good!

To me, the whole key is the fact that Bill never called the buyer back. Any deal can go bad, it's the follow up that makes a business good. Performance Trailer's reputation should be more valuable than a set of wheels but apparently, that is not the case.

you are absolutely right !!!! and bill is fully aware of this post and still never a call . i know other members have spoken to about this . funny a set of wheels is all that the guy ever wanted . in fact what he paid for and was told he was getting

For what it's worth I'll comment here.

I've known "Trailer Billy", as we call him, for a lot of years now. I've had a few of his trailers, one under the Biotch right now. I've also had a bunch of other brands over the years and I'll say his stuff goes down the road with the best of them. I have also sold a bunch of Performance Trailers to customers in my part time boat selling venture, never had an unhappy customer. Something here is out of whack in my mind.

If you felt it was not what you thought the time to speak would have been when you were in the yard at East Coast to pick it up. I know the guys there, my present Fountain and Performance trailer was purchased from them, and I'm sure they have Bill's phone number, he builds a chit load of trailers for them.

I can assure you that Bill is not a disreputable individual, are you sure you understood exactly what the deal was when you bought this for less than the normal price? To compare a custom built steel trailer to a "Flexible Flyer" is simply nuts, those things are built by dozens of half-azzed companys and they are all marginal at best. Ever wonder why they are so cheap?

please go back and read all the posts on this .calls were made . trailer was needed as the boat was on a borrowed trailer .understood exactly what he was getting he just didnt get it .and no one says he builds a bad product the trailer is nice . by no means is anyone looking for something for nothing .only what he was told he was getting .im sure you have had good dealings with bill thats great . but it dosent mean everybody else does

People like this are never happy..... consider the source.... guy buys a trailer based on a picture taken last year .... sees it in person with chrome wheels instead of the aluminum wheels that were on it in the year old picture.... buys it anyway hoping to jerk the builder around with posting BS about him on the internet.... nice guy....
