All you have to do is research to find out who the seller was. Once things are listed online they're always traceable.

I cannot stand anyone that misrepresents what they sell. Are you that hard up for the sale? How disgraceful.

Pic in post #9 should fill in the blanks.

if he / the dealer has anything to say, he'll chime in. as mentioned, his sales person and i had become pretty good friends over the years. he's on here every day. there is no doubt he is aware of this thread and the "hey joe" thread.

there's just simply nothing to say, other than, "yep, joe.... you sure did get it stuck to you!!!" --- and maybe a, "sorry" to go with it. again, very disappointing.

Joe, post a pic of the updated dash; I'd like to upgrade my GPS and am curious as to how you dealt with it.

Pier 57 Thanks. Surprised IB hasn't whacked this thread yet. Anything negative against Big Shot advertisers is just a matter of time. Sad.

I'd gladly pay for VIP membership to voice honest facts and have them stay aboard only to help others that are "promised pink clouds and calm seas."

What a joke. :(

At the risk of being scolded and not to sound like a prude but wasnt this thread originally about the team USA Gladiator and not about a deal gone wrong or other subjects. I believe the word is hijacking a thread.Sorry for being direct but i felt a new thread should have been started Thanks

Another thread has already been started.

you are right... i apologized several times --- then hijacked it again responding to other posts. Sorry, and oopse! another thread was started called, 'hey joe'.

Dude don't feel any need to apologize. I started the thread just out of curiosity and my question was answered right away. I enjoyed hearing about another (your) glad. Sry about your troubles, can't wait to see how the boat turns out after your updates

Just saved the pics Tom wanted of my GPS upgrade and saw this one. Man, we got her propped.... and she ran grrrrreat!!!!!! One of the fastest stock 38's for back then.

Joe

Here you go --- Before, after, and a transom shot for fun!!! Sorry so blurry. Not sure what happened. But, I am SURE it was operator error!!! LOL....

...and yes, that is apparently bird crap on the cover!! :party-smiley-004:

Joe

Amazing how far that name has gotten LOL

Thanks Joe. That vpicture gave Me chills. 90 wow, Love that. Thanks again My friend. Artie

it's a good one!!!!

i am soooo ready to have this new company gain enough traction that i'm comfortable taking off and heading to SFl for a week or two...

i saw one of your buddies today when i was bringing engine parts back to my boat. his name is slipping my mind, but he had the active thunder that shogren took on trade a few months back. he bought a 2000 42 tiger scott was selling. VERY clean boat and a really nice guy.


joe

Thanks Joe. Ill have to look for a new 42 on the water. I'm heading out today. Fun run to the lake. Have a great day. Artie

Thats prob Ray, he bought that tiger back in jan i think.

yeah.... we met him in destin last year when he still had his Sonic, and have ran into him several times last month at my storage unit when we were coming back and fourth from the engine shop.

that Tiger looks great!!!!!! he had nothing but great things to say regarding his experience in buying it from Shogren.

I have only heard great things about Scott..... hope he does very well with his purchase of Pier 57.

joe

Hey what's the update? I hear you may be working something out with Pier 57! :angry-smiley-038::angry-smiley-044:

Yep.... you heard right. Scott (Shogren) contacted me and was willing to work something out, which he had no dog in the fight. This occurred prior to Scott buying Pier 57. What a stand up guy!!!!!!

All in one day.... I was set to buy another Skater, and the same day Woods told Scott not to send me the money for the motors that Scott agreed to pay, a "local" Michigan~ian made an offer (which was actually less than what I was willing to pay) to the owner, and he took it --- I don't blame him... the whole bird-in-hand thing. Guess I can chalk it up to a strange day.... LOL. The broker was as shocked as I was. He lost a decent commission over the deal!!!!!

Artie, I actually responded with a more thorough answer in the Hey Joe thread in this Cigarette forum, if you'd like to hear more about the details.

The events are still amazing to me. "Who is he.... and what'd you do with the David Woods I Knew?????" LOL....

Catch ya later.......

Joe

Joe are You going to go to Destin for Skips Cigarette rendezvous? I will be there. :party-smiley-004:

well, i heard from two of my good friends this past week. the first said how great of an experience he had with Pier 57 selling his used boat, and another talking about a not-so-agreeable situation --- for completely different reasons. i hate to hear i may possibly not be the only person who has had a difficult time with them. i was hoping it was, for whatever reason, an isolated incident.

on another note, i also hear that congrat's are in order for bruce bullock in becoming the new MTI (and Mystic) dealer.
