I don't think I can get PM's? I'm not a member, and don't plan to pay to sign up. Karl has my email, fax, and other info. If he cannot find it, please reply back and I will post my personal email. Also, I will email my contact info again right now to the Eliminator site. Thanks for the help.
I cannot just put a new hour meter in the boat, as others have suggested, because 1) that's not honest, and 2) the boat was not brand new-it already had approx 150 hours. And the buzzer did not work, which was another one the items I never complained about, i just fixed it myself. So yes, she never knew the boat was turned on..
G, the number of hours on the boat can greatly affect the resale value. Lord knows it's hard enough to sell a performance boat these days. The title may not list the actual hours, but a surveyor will, and my insurance company needs that info as well.
Like I said, I will give them an opportunity to fix this little issue, and I'm not bashing the product. I like the boat, but sometimes ya gotta crack the whip when people dont get it done....

since it seems to be a newer boat.......anyone with a scan tool can hook up to the computer and read the true hours on the engines....hour meters arent anything more then a visual reminder of when to change oil if you get enough use out of the boat during the season... IMHO...

I support this board plenty through the purchase of parts from advertisers, who in turn buy advertising...the way it should work. And if "financial dealings" were not allowed on here, wtf is the classified section doing here? My point was, I'm not signing up just so I can get my "financial dealings" taken care of. I already paid Eliminator "the going rate" for that. People also use this forum to know how boat manufacturers and parts people are handling their "financial dealings", ergo the "trick marine" scandal. Mmmmkay beavis??
And, my boat has a 525sc, so no computer..thought about that one already.
By the way, thanks to Shuemann Eliminator did call today and I got the proper documentation. And, they asked why I just didn't call? lol. Guess I shoulda called 5 times, instead of 4. Still haven't heard anything about my ezone gear though. Think I'll just cancel the @#$ transaction on my card. Really frustrating....Again, I like the boat but you'd think Eliminator would WANT people pimping their gear at the lakes here in the midwest, but I guess not. It's a Baja world out here, unfortunately. The guys in the shop make a great boat at Eliminator, but it sounds like the front of house needs a bit of "work".
