This is also not the first new boat you and your crew have bought from Cigaratte in recent times. Your relationship and check book is still important to Cigarette. (The new hasn't wore off yet.) From what I have seen on here, most of the calls and emails that WERE NOT returned are from owners of older/used boats. (And those are the ones that sometimes need the most help.) I know personnally, that I have called 3 times on different occasions and left messages for Bud regarding paint codes and other infofor my boat. (None of which were returned.)
Again, I'm glad they stepped up and I hope it's a sign of better support from Cigarette.

It was Mercs prob and Skip stepped in. I think it's b/c of the first problem wtih the 1075's in the field. Or the first documented case to Merc.?? I don't know. I have seen a change though in attitude recently?? My father who was irate after the first purchase and said he would never do this again, did. Could just be me though. I do though how that this is a better sign from Cigarette to all though. We are a small community of boaters. They aren't just a run of the mill powerboat.

I'll let you all know how things shake out... and you'll have a connection on the inside.

It would be nice to have someone there for people who don't get to be around the gang. Good luck with everything.

Tim G. Hopefully I meet you down there sometime in person when I am in the area. When we are down we go see Skip and Neil.. I think it's awesome about TSG knowing the guys for so long. I have only known them for a few years and feel like I have known them for ages. I wish you the best! Good luck you are with a great company.
