Who is it... PM me if you don't want to post. The suspense is killing me :)

Not sticking up for the guy in any way but why does an axle, two tires, locked up brake and a new fender cost $7500??

Regardless, where I come from you borrow something in running order you return it the same way unless there were known problems before it left.:bsflag:

That explains why some of the wheels look as is if they were drug against a concrete curb for 100 miles. I can get past a lot of the things that were wrong, but one thing that blows my mind is that they completely redid the bunk system on the cradle to fit their boat.

they were drug against a concrete curb for 100 miles:eek:


C'mon now is that even possible ?:drink:

As stated before, there is no need to tell all the issues, i think wild just through out a few. The trailer had right around 6k miles on it when it was borrowed.

All of the custom PBB decals were removed from the trailer to add the "involved parties logos".

One Dexter torque axle

2 Semi trailer tires

3 Alcoa Wheels resurfaced

Fenders and skirts need re-painted and pin stripped

New Brake lines

Several broken welds from hitting every curb from MO to FL

The trailer was high centered and there are structural cracks on each side
step.

"involved party" completly removed all of the tilt bunks and altered them to fit his boat, they will have to be remade to fit MES 2 MTI's and Speedy.

Storage compartments had hinges and locks drilled into place.

Alot of paint work needs to be done........

If I borrow anything its full washed and returned better, might even machine somthing for ya. O wait I dont borrow NOTHIN!!!

Why pick on the 40 Skater Guys in Missouri or lump us together we are all VERY different:angry-smiley-038:

Randy that stinks !!!
Jim Watson !!!

I'm just so happy it wasn't me that borrowed the trailer, blocked Highway 54 for three hours and totaled it out this time. :party-smiley-004:

:worthless_without_p

I usually dont rant on these types of threads but this person needs outed so no one else gets abused like this..:eek:

Wow. I totally change my opinion based on Wilds first post. Based on this, I'd go after them hard. I would not divuldge thier name on here as they may be able to twist it into some kind of a legal deal. But, you could certainly post pictures of the damage, along with pics of the before and after of the logos. Show the PBB logos and the ones that replaced them so that we can get a better feel for the damages done.

Just keepin it real! :)

In this case the lack of detail was pertinent to the estimate given, thanks for posting the details.

Go get em I say!

When you loan something out, you take the risk of having it returned with damage. Yes, I was disappointed when it didn't show on the 2nd, but extremely pissed when we didn't even know where it was until the 14th. I just can't believe it was returned like this without even a phone call explaining the situation. The only communication was on the 16th via text telling me where the trailer was and. "I owe you one, thanks". I can't speak for Wild but i can deal with the damages, what bothers me the most out of this whole deal is that he didn't once call, text, or email to say sorry. I would of even taken a $50 Outback gift certificate and a sorry rather than him basically telling me to go pound sand.

Damn man, I'm sorry to hear you're in this position Randy.

You've got lots of opinions here already, but at the very least, if he ends up not paying for the damages, you should out them on OSO. You may not get YOUR money, but it will absolutely cost them a minimum of $7500 in lost business over time.

All it takes is one person changing their mind about doing business with them based on your experience. I know I wouldn't buy a dockline from them if I knew who if was, because you are a friend. There will be many more besides me that will add them to the "do not call" list as well, so in the end, you'll get some satisfaction even though it may not be in your wallet.

Ultimately, I hope they do the right thing & offer to fix your trailer.

If after all this they get the drift here and fix the trailer, it doesnt make them any better.

You are in a long line with people with a beef with that outfit.

WOW, you guys are a lot more relaxed and forgiving than I am... I'd be beating down that guys door the second they didn't return the trailer back on time, never mind all that damage! And to alter the trailer for their boat too????????? I'd be beating someone's head in after all of that! :eek:

While it may sound like a Darr story, I dont think he had anything to do with this...

All I can say is wow....

What is it about this "sport" that seems to attract such despicable actions? I think everyone would agree that when you borrow something, you bring it back the way you found it and if you can't, you pay to fix/replace it. To treat someone else's stuff like that and not man up and do the right thing is just sad.

Hardware only VV - no exchange of "wetware"

..although I always bring enough for everyone you gotta work that angle yourself.

Not only do you damage the trailer but you modify it without permission? Then return it still modified and damaged? Unbelievable. They need to be outed.

I sweear this sounds like a mess. :)

:popcorn:

Randy, I feel it was honerable of you to give them time to make it right. If the time table is past due, I would expose them, and use our legal system. I know you can't win on principal, but this stuff in our community needs to stop. Good Luck. KARMA ALWAYS COMES AROUND. Jeff

LMFAO:lolhit:

Is this the silver trailer?

oh lord........

Yes

Wow. Freeze Frame can solve this mystery for anyone looking hard enough.

Wow is right if it is who I am thinking.

THIS..

needs repeating.


He may be clean-cut looking, but he's draped in the dirt of the South Florida Shuffle.

Wow, reading this even gets me, a third party, upset. The whole situation is upsetting. Makes you wonder how these people sleep at night.

Karma ALWAYS wins. ALWAYS ;)

That is too much to let go... I am sick just reading it. I could never imagine doing that or having it done to me. I don't have that kind of trailer but I do understand the cost involved and can't believe someone would alter it as well as damage it. As for curbs, jees was it there first time driving with a trailer.

I would almost think they did it intentionaly against you.
I am stunned.
and please let it out who it is because if that is how they do business people should know!
:bsflag:

Post a link at least!

Have a brother who had a crappy Bayliner kept at a marina that he beat on like a dead horse all summer. He then let them winterize and pull the boat at the end of the season. They backed the boat out of the slip and put in forward and the outdrive blew apart. They fixed it at no cost.
Your being f_ed bro. Make them make it right or make them pay.

This is exactly why you don't loan things out. And if you do, expect the worst and deal with it. In other words open your wallet.

It sucks but it makes you think twice.

So they r a dealer that sells fast boats?

Randy, sorry to hear this bro, after reading post 83 and 86 about what they intentionally did to the trailer against your express instructions, these guys don't deserve any respect, they obviously didn't respect you....when you lend items you obviously need to understand that something can happen to them uinintentionally, and like most stated here, if something does, you'd expect it to be taken care of no questions or whining......but having the balz to keep the trailer way over the return date, not have the courtesy to call to let you know they're returning it late, change your bunks, remove stickers, drill for hinges and locks without your permission!!!!!!!!!!!Are you frickin kidding me??????I'm pissed just reading this....NO MERCY DUDE...REVEAL THESE SCUMBAGS

yeah, that's exactly what I'm guessing...........
