Shady Folks!
 
Is it just me or is the boating industry filled with shady people? Involved in the industry now and it just seems like you can never take people for their word... I live in an industry (owner of a civil engineering company) where your reputation is your only currency and it just seems like there are so many BS'rs and shady dealings it just makes me sick!

You nailed it. For what ever reason it seems to attract con artist that have convincing knowledge of performance boating.

My ex father in law was this guy -

I agree. There are a ton of crooks being figured out. However, there will always be more to take their place. Hopefully the number of crooks will dwindle over time. As a customer, you have to be vigilant. You must ask questions, go for a visit, ask for update pics, etc. If they are honest, they should have no problem with any of it. The only good thing that comes as a result of money getting tight is that people are a lot more careful and do more homework before they spend it.
