You wouldn't think that buying a boat would be a problem in this market but it seems that not everyone cares about customer service. I may be having an issue with the boat that i'm buying. This is from a private party, Already did the survey and have the funds lined up but we shall see. At least i still have the cig and cruiser so i'm not boatless.

Dreamer come on out to Desert Storm and you can ride with me :)

go for it dreamer.i hope you make the dealer cry!

thanks!!! but i have had air tix and plans for miami and running the new boat to gilberts..... oh wait theres no boat down there waiting for me
:angry-smiley-038:

You can change tickets. it is a little harder to go boating without a boat :)

Hell, I hear that statement every time I take my boat out or pull it up to the gas pumps!!!:cool-smiley-011:

If Dreamer's got the cajones to go after this guy, I say sic 'em. Someone at some time needs to be called out on this under-handed crap. I hope someone get's their nuts in a wringer over it.

takin some "guests" with me.... hangin at the condo for a long w/e

thanks agian... would love to see ur playboy... and my old one that has now been pimped out L.A. style:cool-smiley-027:

opportunity cost if it costs me X $$$$ more to get a boat cause the market heated up or there r few for sale... hes gotta pay for it.... or whatever extra he got for seling it from out of my contract im entilted to have....

long story short he said he would reimbures me for my expenses if i would walk... i said pay me now or i will file a lien and encumber the boat... he said let me talk to my attorney and ill get back to u.... by the time i got ahold of him boat was closed on and he tell me to beat it....

i should have encumbered the boat.... but im a nice honest handshake deal guy

ask sean who i boaght the 28ss from
parnell who i sold it to and got the playboy
Bobby s who got me the apache
or luke the guy who bought the playboy from me

And therein lies the problem for you and I. I run my business the same way - up front and honest. It's sad to say but it seems as if many boat/marine related businesses choose not to. I wish you the best in this deal and anxiously await the outcome.

PS - Wild had a similar deal when I was looking at his boat. Phil had a guy supposedly with check-in-hand and although we had no binding contract or purchase agreement of any kind, Wild held the boat until I could get down to sea trial it (even though we were six hours late after missing the original flight - Thanks wife!). There are some straight-up peeps left.

As soon as the dealer said the A (attorney) word all bets were off!

That's my rule in the office...as soon as someone says the A word we stop talking, then they talk to our "a". :D

Does your "a" stand for attorney or .....:D:D

So I hope no one buys anything from MARKS TRUCK AND BOAT CENTER:angry-smiley-038::angry-smiley-038::angry-smiley-038:. Someone should plaster this all over so they sales drop off. Sorry DREAMER. gO GET THEM AND YES THE MONEY ABOVE WHAT YOU AGREED ON IS YOURS. Abmw dealer did that to my wife on a new 1999 323conv. I made sure they lost business:evilb:

Did you have a contract or a handshake? ?

Nort are you on a quest to be the voice for all the scum bags on the board? :D

huh....I was talking to them about a new sunsation 288...well now...someone please point me in another direction....thanks

Go to Charlie at Mahapoc Marine. Straight up and also an advertiser here.

I spent the weekend working Mia show with him. He's good peeps.


They are building the coolest 32' now, all blk w/600's. :D

Dreamer, how much would some cool motors run? :cool-smiley-026:

:drink:

I think you have a sunsation dealer in your area, kentucky right?

I can't believe that no one has shared the info on this boat :(

How sad.

uve converted me.... mti or skater only....... some day

i want the new 36 with 600s and bravos

Hilltop Marine. I've dealt with them - great people.

I would never think of sendind a deposit without a signed contract. I'm sure there was one.....if there wasn't a signed contract, then................:eek:

ofcourse there was a contract... their contract

Dreamer.. I been reading the threads about you getting screwed. You are entitled for the dif. in the sale price. Called "loss opportunity" and probobly your expenses. All I can say is GO GET THE f''ers..
Similar thng happend to me to. Forwarded deposit, drove 5 hours to check the boat out. Sales men never met me. Didn't take my calls. boat was locked up.. Couldn't see it.. All of the sudden. next morning it was sold. under contract... the Marina Owner told me. He was all sorry that the sales men f'ed me.. but the boat was gone. THis was before I got this Avanti project going. What's with all the marine business????
THis Avanti guy to... Have contract for the boat to be ready early March for the Sarasota run. no go.. Damn thing still not done and all I hear is excuses. I could have bought a doz. boat by now and enjoy it.. Now.. here I sit waiting for the Avanti to be finished by a guy who totaly frustrates the chit out of me... GGGGRRRRRRRRrrrrrrr
So Dreamer.. go get 'em..

288 sunstion
 

why buy new check mine out for half the price its in the classified section, i am about one hour from marks service center. don't meen to act like a vulture but you asked

Trying to drum up some SPAM for OSO's new owners. :D

yup - had u done that to me I'd have tied that thing up in litigation and made it ugly for all involved - not cool man. There are too many a holes in this world that you can't do anything about. Now you can, but hey...it's totally up to you. Me, I'd call that POS on the carpet and make him pay. It's the right thing.

In the meantime, I'm splashing the the Playboy in the morning - will post some photos in the next few days....

I was at hilltop last week looking at a 292 formula....i thought they were just a formula dealer....didn't see anything on sunsations...but I will call them monday....thanks

Hey Tim....that is nice looking....i will call you the middle of the week....will be out of town mon and tues.
Thanks

what is the status of yours? you bought the oso glad right? back together? up for sale?

no his isnt the oso glad.... its at the port in ft lauderdale
fast and bad azz

so who has the oso glad?

The former OSO Gladiator is in Virginia Beach, and should be back together and on the water this season.

wanted to buy it when Steve had it but i was in the middle of updating the bullet. think the new owner will keep it very long?:crazy:

He has a Top Gun as well. Last I talked to him, he said he was going to get both of them perfect (Top Gun already is) and then decide which one might go.

yup

Mine isnt the former OSO rig. My boat is fine. Never been apart and not for sale at this time. Its spoken for 3 times over when it does go for sale.

Ask Tanner or Bret how it runs, we ran it hard out in the ocean yesterday

Unbelievable boat... the ocean was a light chop and could feel that air get under it. First ride in a Gladiater..

Thanks Bob

My pleasure Todd, you were a natural behind the wheel. You can drive with me anytime.

BTW: Brett and I finished the product you left behind...much appreciated

Oh well.............
