Thought I'd give an update, Heard back from one of the Dealers, gave me just the information I wanted, nothing more. On the other dealer still no reply,so I contacted the Manufacture that he represents, and to this date have not heard anything from the Manufacture either.

I have contacted another builder and I'm now interested in his line. OH WELL!!!! I have talked with this builder before and have visited his facility so know I will get a reply from them.

We were just talking about this a few weeks ago. Lol. You have the perfect boat. Let me know what you will sell the fountain to me for. Kicking around buying another boat to race with or sell mine and go faster.

Are these guys still open or just not give a crud?
LAKE WIDE YACHT BROKERAGE 573-372-6036 GRAVOIS MILLS, MO 65037
:cuqui:
Currently looking to purchase my first boat and after coming across this thread the only thing I can say is I couldn't agree more with most of the replies on this topic. I don't get it...is the boating industry really hurting that bad? Cuz my observations so far are that a lot of people, brokers, and dealers seem they could care less about selling their boats.

In all fareness I will say that Performance Boat Brokerage has been good. I wouldn't mind purchasing a boat off Brett over there. If only him and I could come to terms on that 98 OL 29 he has

But dealing with Lake Wide has been sub-par to say the least. I'm actually trying to look at one of their boats that is located in KC with the owner, even though their ad said it was at LOTO. But man, something as simple as wanting to look at this boat seems like it'll take an act of god here to make this happen.

I understand they probably get tire kickers all the time and maybe you are operating on a skeleton crew, but that's the nature of the business you're in. If you don't like it, get out of it. For guys like me that are actually serious and ready to plunk down cash at any given moment, I find myself wondering, "Why the F am I jumping through hoops here?"

I felt he honestly represented the boat's true condition and did not try to hide stuff other dealers would! Brett knew quite a bit of history aobut the boat and was happy to share it. When I get closer to pulling the trigger I plan on giving them a call again!
Sorry Andy but I emailed that place twice last year before I bought the Outlaw.. no reply. When i called felt like I was bothering them..so I took my $$ elsewhere.

Agreed, in my business I return calls and emails withing a few hours if that, even when I know its a tire kicker I will give them 100% of my attention, they might just remember the experience and one day become a customer, I spend 1-2 hours on free estimates with no guarantee and these folks can`t return a simple phone call?
This is why I haven`t had to advertise in close to 10 years now
