Here it is at the 2:50 mark, notice the brake lights are on as the spin begins: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_mKqWG77RU

Wait a minute... So now you're saying that OL doesn't market their boats to amateur boat drivers?

:bsflag:

They market their boats to anyone that can afford them, and I would contend that MOST of their customers are amateur boat drivers.

I believe that they offered the course more on the advice from their legal department more so than they thought it would be a "good idea."

Under the implied warranty of merchantability that exists on EVERYTHING purchased new from a dealer that sells goods of the kind an item HAS to be fit for its particular use. A 42' OL, with a full dressed cabin, enclosed head, a/c, frige, shorepower, etc. at least pretends to be a pleasure boat and needs to fit that purpose.

This isn't some silly conspiracy theory that I drummed up because I was bored... It's law...

Where do you get this crap from? Do you just feel the need to argue, so you put words in other people's mouths so you have something to refute?

I never said that they "intentionally" market their boats to amateurs (though they do), I just said that they DO market them to amateurs, and you admit that in your post



You bash me for saying that they "intentionally" market their boats to amateurs, which I never said prior to this post, then you admit that they do in fact market their boats to amateurs... I really don't understand you...

Dammit... I was posting on that thread when it got deleted..

My Post:
It depends who the boat is marketed to (which is why I think they started offering the training course with the boat). The boat is being marketed to Joe Offshorewannabe, and if Joe Offshorewannabe 1, 2, 3, and 4 roll them, then there is a design flaw in the hull/rigging (for intensive purposes).

God that is a stretch to imply that an OL isnt of merchaniable quality.

Its amazing how people seek to impose higher standards on things on the water. Last time I checked car manufacturers didnt offer driver training couses with each new car sale. Although it may be a prudent thing to do, I dont think they have any obligation.

Both were results of driver error. The fact that we offered and encouraged the course was based on the fact that everybody has something to learn, It is easy for the majority of people on this board (who have never even been on a 42 OL) to comment and speculate on topics that they have no idea on what they are talking about.
