Attention Scarab fans !!!
 

Wellcraft Marine has changed its web site and taken down the last vestages of information provided in performance specs and catalogs ,ect.
for owners of older boats which is "Crap "!!!!
In the past all one had to do was go to the web site and scroll down and get a lot of information that you could not find anywhere else ---- Now most of that info is gone!!!
You guys need to protest to them or the information will be gone forever !







:bsflag:

Thanks guys:

Good morning,

I am interested in hearing your grievences. I am the programmer that developed the new site. I also want to make you aware that all the manual, product information, and performance specs that I was given are placed here.

There is a link in the top navigation from every page on the site. If there is any resources that used to be available and can no-longer be found, I can at least ask around for any missing documents.

It is possible that the information is obscured by the way the pages load, requiring you to scroll down after selecting a category. I do mean to fix that at some point to make it more intuitive.

Thanks for your input,

Daniel

All the product info for the older performance Scarabs from the 80s models into 2002 when they were discountinued. It used to be available on the site under the resources categories. It was a valuable asset to some us.

I think it sucks that they have removed that part. When I bought my 29 in October I referenced that often. I don't understand why wellcraft has given up on the literature of the boats that built the Scarab name.

So the stuff in http://wellcraft.com/index.php/resources/information is incomplete?

I am pretty sure that we just copied the entire resource directory from the old site. We did do some renaming of documents for the sake of consistancy but everything that was there last year should still be there.

Can you give a specific example of a boat model and data? If I can locate a specific bit of data it may lead to where the remainder. I am not at all familiar with older product. That is why I am here visiting the forums. That and I am hoping to present some ideas for improvements in Wellcraft's engagement of the community going forward.

Thanks,

Daniel

LL,
I give you a lot of credit for going out of your way and at least attempting to provide what was once there. I've never used the aforementioned site, but I think it is very cool of you to come on here, register, stand up for something, and attempt to change something that other people are unhappy with. Kudos to you for at least giving a sh!t... That's tough to find these days...

That is the exact info I was referring to. I don't know how to find it on the site just yet but later when I have more time I will find it I am sure. Thanks for the help!

I just found it. Sorry I went through the site a little too quick the first time.
Now if only wellcraft had the original graphics laying around that they put on my boat in 95

I certainly care about the product that I produce (the website) and by extension the brand that it represents. Everyone at Wellcraft is also passionate about their product, but I think that there is a bit of a lapse right now in dialoging with the community of owners. It can be difficult for venerable old brands to transition to the digital age.

The transition has to be made though. No one is going to buy a boat at Wallmart. Likewise we can't afford to be a faceless corporation. It is not any fun anyway.

Glad you got to the info you needed. I still need to get it to list alphabetically. Kind of a weird random bug.

Let me know what else comes up. If the site isn't useful, I have not done my job.

Thanks,

Daniel

LLCoder, most of the information posted before is still missing!!!!!!!!!!Put the old site back up and leave it alone...
