I don't argue the fact people got screwed out of money,I would be furious and can't imagine giving 100k or even 50 whatever it was and not getting anything for a year or more. I don't think there is a happy ending even if he receives a complete boat at this point.

I agree, Berk took the bait, doesnt make it right if it was intentional.

I am done defending them(at least business practices), but I will also not badmouth them as I have had no persoanl $$ dealings directly with them. If all Berk says is true, then they are crooks, but I havent seen anything in writing, and will stand by(at least for the present deal) that there may be other circumstances until I see it all in writing.

Love the avatar by the way

Formula, but they don't waste time, they call it customer service. I'm sure others will give examples, I have read threads of others doing the same.

Yep..

A few years after getting my Formula I did something very very dumb,... on that 4th of July I shot Roman candles off the back of my Formula....in the light of the next day I had small burn marks all over the sunpad/engine cover...called Formula and was honest about being a dummy and asked about buying a replacement...they sent me a complete new upholstered cover for FREE saying something like "they wanted their boats to always look their best, it was a matter of pride".

A walk around a shop is cool, but "putting your money where your mouth is" speaks volumes IMHO.

It won't work, the old switcharoo. Everybody knows that dopey move. As for you concerning Pantera, own up to it, they're dishonest & got called on it. Tonight, I want you to do the right thing..probably for the first time in your life. I want you to get up out of your chair & go to the window. Open it up & yell "I'm as mad as hell & I'm not going to take this anymore Pantera!" Do it now!!

Your funny! Well I will save it for when I get over my fever. But when I get well in a day or two I will do just that for you pal(comanche3six). But I don't think Jo or Mr Pepe can hear me from 700+ miles away. To be honest I hate seeing you pick on Pantera without knowing the real reason. I do understand they have made mistakes but so have I and you also. As of Sunday when I was at church god was still the only one perfect and I don't recall anyone taking his place either
