Yet your wanting this custom item but are tired of waiting for the custom one off items and you in turn said your wife went on face book and mother F'd this guy and his business. You yourself started this thread to mother F him and his business and yet all you are wanting is a daily phone call from him telling you when the custom one off set of gears will be done after he told you it would take some time or however long it takes?Is this method going to get better service from a company? Is this going to get you something for free? Is this going to change the fact that you seem to want warranty for items that are 3-4 yrs old running 1,150 hp through a 800'hp warranties drive and your driving it 140+ in big water hitting side rollers as you put it and it's someone's fault other than your own? I guess you threatened to do this mother Fn if he didn't get it done or for free but now what's next? I don't see that this guy has anything to lose by not calling you nor getting the one off set of gears any faster than they are as you've surely mother F'd the hell out of him and his business which is clearly what you set out to do. Mission accomplished but when are you going boating again? Will he be there to support you in the future now you've set out to destroy him and his business because he didn't give you a daily phone call? I may be wrong but how is this shi* talking going to get the one off items any faster? When he does call you telling you that the custom one off items are finished what are you going to say? Hey rick I went on the Internet and tried to ruin your business because you were trying to help me with what I wanted but I really wanted this custom one off gear set for my boat plus daily updates too. How much of your money is he holding as I am sure he is not stupid enough to start a custom one off projects with you not putting some skin in it. Typically one off requires paid in advance right?

all facts here,no trash talk!

How long is the warranty on the arnesins? So you say you haven't paid anything for nor torwards these new custom gears because he feels guilty? Did you offer to send money to get the order started as your the good guy here from what I am reading and he is the bad guy. Sounds like you threaten him with this public outburst and now your in a corner of a wet floor as you and your wife have certainly mother F'd him as everyone is saying this to you. I just hope for his sake your not one of these 6'6" bullies that threaten everyone in order to get what you want.

all facts,no trash talk here.

It is funny you say you don't know Rik. Everyone needs to look at Boatlesss profile and check out all of his previous post. You will figure out there is definitely a connection here with Arneson.

Book at seat on a plane and confront him in person, looking some one in the eyes will accomplish a lot more than venting on Keys board. IMO
And yes I have a set of his drives and know what your experiencing on customer service....

23k lb boat,22" herring props and I do believe the 7's were standard,they were the bravo conversion kit.that boat puts some serious load on the drives and ran flawlessly.hp/tq are the about the same at 1200

What happened to the other 4 months and why didn't he wait 4 months to start this project? This is not adding up. What I know is the boat owner has not paid for anything by his own admission because he thinks rick feels guilty. People have stated the boat started with 900's? and now has 1150's and your saying its ricks fault? The boat is raced and therefore it deserves an extended warranty? What would Mercury do? Would imco give him a 2-3 yr warranty? I think the boat owner by his own admission tried to bully this rick guy to get his "guilty repair and upgrade" and went into the Internet to motherF him and did it. I mean this thread doesn't anywhere say rick please give me a call does it? What about email?

I don't think you are dumb but you definitely have bad luck when thinking.

Reason drives didn't get sent in Sept is because it was my understanding he was making the gearing all along , he did not need my drives to make the gearing. Never have I stated that I would not pay for the gearing. Rik agreed to cover cost of NEW UPGRADED STRONGER CASES and I would pay for new gearing. 900s? read the post on this tread from Wobble where Rik stated what horsepower my boat had in it before the boat even hit the water Rik has known all along. As far as payment if Rik would send me an invoice then I would be happy to pay it. I have to ask Rik on here to give me a call? I have tried calling him today several times with still no answer why will he not answer? Again my boat has 30 hours on it due to continuous issues with drives, so yes I feel a warranty should still be in effect.


I don't know Rik well,I don't know your situation and don't pretend to , but what is Rik going to supply you with , you keep saying gear sets but it the pictures it looks like the u-joint broke in the thrust tube not trying to start trouble I just don't see what it has to do with gears .
