Ragged, now thats service!!!
Others should take note.

Why not just find out wich bank has the boat then deal with them that is what a friend of mine did on an 08 42. Then you dont have to screw with SHADY A$$ dealers! It appears that there are no honest dealers left!!

Fuel load was fairly light, about 1/4 tank if I remember. there was three of us in the boat and the temp was in the low seventies. We had a tailwind and some good waves to get the hull loose. Probably ideal conditions. Last weekend after Desert Storm I topped out at 96 in calmer water and about 85 degrees, with a half tank of fuel.

I completely agree. Everyone here is a boater so it goes without saying that I was excited and anxious to try the boat out. Try and imagine my disappointment when I found out that not only would the boat not start, but I was not going to get a battery to fit in that town. I had just flown 1500 miles and then drove 3 hours to pick up a boat that did not run. What kind of prick would do that to someone? :eek::eek: I had two friends there from Calgary Canada that flew down as well to share the moment (on their own ticket) that got hung out to dry as well.

XC - where you at in Canada, am over in the Okanagan and Shuswap..

I've been eyeing a Fountain they have as well......I think I will keep looking.....elsewhere!!

Home is Edmonton, just a few hours down the road from you. We do most of our boating on Lake Wabamun-about 60 miles west of Edmonton. We get out to the Shuswap and Okanagan from time to time. Maybe we should hook up. I towed my 25 Nordic home from Havasu this trip so I can use it this summer.

10% is historically a very tight deal.:eek:


u may want to open your eyes and look at our economy and rethink your 10% tight deal remark .


Sounds like Ragged Edge gots it going on ,congratz

I'll be on the Okanagan in the morning..hauling mine up to Revelstoke; doing a project up there(construction), will be on the Shuswap and Arrow lakes this summer.. Let me know when ur coming out this way.. We will be doing the Harrison Lake Poker Run, just outside of Chilliwack, its a blast, google it..worthwhile..

What the he!! does the economy have to do with what it costs to operate a business????? a small business can't fire up the printing presses like Obama and print money when it needs it.

As far as Ragged's comment, I totally agree that 10 is a BROKERAGE commission. When you buy a brokerage boat you get little if NO frills. So, yes my numbers still stand correct
