Phil can be very matter of fact at times. Sometimes it can rub people the wrong way. He doesn't suffer fools....

Wow.... not the I remeber it. Your first call, I told all about the boat. I told you I thought it was a great deal and the boat was like new and ran perfect, when it left my shop. But that was almost 8 years ago. You asked me about the hatch, the paint, how the boat handles, and alot of other questions you had, I answered all of them. I told you that above 100, you better know what you are doing. I asked what you have had before. You said many fast boats, like I insulted you. Maybe that made you mad. I don't want to see you on your head. You called me a couple more times I tried to answer all your questions but I am busy working in my shop, I did the best could. I suggested to check it out, ride it, and get a survey, I haven't seen it in many years. Then you called and said you bought it and wanted to change the engine hatch. I told you I didn't have one, that you would have try the Cigarette factory. Then you called me and cussed me out for 15 minutes about them and how terriable Cigarette is. You got pissed I wouldn't make you one. I explained I don't have the molds. I'll bend backwards to help any of my customers, but when you bad mouth Cigarette to me, and cuss me, I'm not going to be much heip. You have a very special boat that I built for a very special friend, good luck and I hope it is all you want it to be. Phil

As they say, "there are two sides to every story". By the way, what kind of hatch were you looking for?

A stock one I assume. It has a custom hatch with a sunpad on it. Only one like it now (Katrina ruined the other Glad with the same hatch).

Im sorry you feel that way. I dont remember cussing at you at all. I have a 2 year old son and dont cuse period. I own a business and know what customer service is, in this economy I thought people would try harder to keep there potential customers happy.
Sorry for wasting your time
John
