Sale!
 
OK,most of you know that boat sales are not great at this time.I have too much inventory and interest expense is killing me. If any of you or any of your friends need a new boat,now is the time,. Check my inventory at www.nelems.com and see if I have something you might want. Not just Formulas,anything in stock. Price will not keep us apart right now on in-stock boats. And no,I am not going anywhere after 41 years in the business,just need to move some inventory quickly. Trades considered. Our industry will bounce back,it always has,but right now is a great time to buy a boat cheap. Robert

Beautiful boats Robert, wish I had the extra cash:D In the mid ninites did you sell many 252 bowriders? Just something I am thinking about sitting in the snow up north:D

Magicfloat 02-10-2008 12:26 PM

First Formula I sold was a 252BR,still on our lake,2nd owner.252BR was a very popular model for us.

Robert, Don't tempt me!!:D

Magicfloat 02-10-2008 04:57 PM

Call me,I'll tempt you.

Good luck Robert. I know the deal you offered me on your 370SS was outstanding but it's still more than I'm comfortable spending on any boat...Keep treating people like you've treated me and I'll keep recommending people deal with you.

PJDiesel 02-10-2008 06:54 PM

Wow, beautiful boats is right.

Man, wish I had some peoples money here........

jeff32 02-10-2008 08:27 PM

ouch! hurt me in the heart thinking my brain would like to have one... 382... that'd fit and replace my 35-7!

Slick02 02-11-2008 07:38 AM

Damn sure makes me want to go out and spend money I don't have right now.

330ss
 
Robert, I might be giving you a call on that 330ss. I just need to get past the fact that you are so far away. I know your repuation on the board is excellent, but part of me is struggling with the idea of not buying the boat locally.

BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT.
Robert, if this xconn (hey, wait a minute.....what'd you go to jail for :)) wants to meet in the middle you guys are welcome to stage at my house. Room for the boat to sit a couple days and less than a mile off interstate 95.

Just thought I'd make buying from Robert a little easier :cool-smiley-026:

xconn92 02-15-2008 02:03 PM

I used to live in Richmond and would love an excuse to get back there and visit:cool-smiley-027:

I bought a boat from Robert and we live in the Chicago area. The transaction was easy, Robert and the team prepped the boat perfectly, transport to Chicago was well communicated and the boat arrived in perfect shape. After the sale, Robert has addressed any issues in a very timely basis.

I too was a bit hesitant to buy so far away, but took the plunge and I could not be happier.

I bought my 353 from a dealer 1200 miles away sight unseen other than 5 email pics.

Doing business with a reputable dealer, long distance buying is no sweat.

I would not hesitate to do business with Robert Nelems. If he has the boat you want at a price you can agree on...go for it.

xconn92 02-15-2008 04:42 PM

Thanks for the insight guys. Not unexpected, given what I have read about Robert previously.

Mine came from Robert used and site unseen......came in just as described and a no B.S. deal.

...and I'm serious about staging here. If it will help Robert put the deal together and reduce to delivery distance for both of you I'll be glad to help.

Magicfloat 02-15-2008 05:50 PM

Thanks for the kind words,y'all. Xconn,call me ,I'm ready when you are and my driver is always ready to roll. Robert

H20 Toie 02-16-2008 04:32 PM

So what do you have in a 400SS?

Magicfloat 02-16-2008 04:52 PM

:DA 370ss

xconn92 02-16-2008 06:49 PM

Class Act
 
Just wanted to let you all know that I spoke with Robert today and he couldn't have been any nicer! Very professional and a straight shooter, which I am learning is very rare in the marine biz.

I have some thinking to do but regardless, somebody is going to get a sweet deal on a 330ss.

Robert, thanks again for your candor and your assistance. You are truly a class act.

We've been trying to tell you that!!!!!! That 370SS is a great deal too, but I'm just not comfortable trying to swing those kinda numbers.

I bought my 2006 292 from Robert. Couldn't find a used one we liked and ordered it brand new through Robert. No BS and got a great deal. I drove 500+ miles to pick it up.

After the sale service has been great! For example, the end of last season one of my battery switches was acting up. Diagnosed that it would not always close. Called Robert to see if he had one in stock (I was expecting to purchase this $50 switch) and within 3 days had a brand new one dropped shipped from Formula, free and no questions asked.

The main reason to go with Nelems Marine is they are honest people that really care about the customer. In my experience this is rare in the marine idustry. You will get a great deal $$ as well! Don't sweat the long distance relationship...:D

kjm5125 02-17-2008 11:24 AM

Agreed!
 
I would not hesitate for one second from buying another boat from Robert.
