Roger (old Fishtales new C-Hawk) Gets a new dog TODAY !!!

:evil: :evil:
Once again, the factory reputation holds true to the past :evil:
Late February Ricardo told me that the boat was out of the mold and in rigging, mid March I was told the boat was complete and in final inspection.
Today I am told that the boat will not be ready until the end of April :evil: :evil:
WTF is up with these pricks that they can't seem to keep their word :?:
My warranty says that it will be repaired or replaced within 45 days--- hell-- it's been seven f~#*ing months.

:evil: :evil:
 
Roger, that boat, if it exists, is sitting at the back of the shop, worked on when they don't have anything better to do. Once got a Ford transmission replaced under warranty, and waited for a loooong time. Found out later, if a mechanic didn't have anything else to do, they had him work on that thing.

Good luck and make a thorough inspection.

Roger, sorry about your boat schedule. That is an awful and nerve wracking situation.

I was really starting to work on your christening ceremony. Champaign, prayers, the cannon, food, fireworks, the whole bit. I guess I might have to wait for Catalina for the ceremony.

Best of luck,

Jim
 
Good lord, Roger, this is turning into a friggin soap opera. I certainly hope the only dog you get is the one you have right now! It's been proven time and again that the squeaky wheel gets attention, never more so than when dealing with that bunch. Good luck.

What makes it even more difficult is that the factory can be generous (logos, gathering, free parts) and very helpful or it can be unresponsive, glacially slow, and careless to a fault. Consistently inconsistent. Can a factory have PMS?

7 months worth of paying down an empty trailer. Gak. Not a time to tease you for sure....

Roger:
I was at the factory with my wife last Friday (4 April) for a tour. If I would have known, I could have asked to see your boat on the floor. They had 5 or 6 C-Dorys in various stages of build. Not sure how many were 22's. Sorry!

Regarding squeaky wheels getting grease. I could not agree more. You need to put an amp on that noise. We Cbrats are just looking for a cause. All you have to do is ask.
 
Roger,

If this is the Ricardo that we dealt with way back when we were trying to set up Cy at Stanton Marine with a dealership, count your fingers if he shakes your hand. His reputation is slightly tarnished.

My advice to you is this: pin them down to a date, and tell them you are driving up to pick up the boat. Otherwise, you will be waiting forever after it's finished, for them to ship it south. That's why I finally lost patience and picked my boat up myself.

Boy, I really feel for you, man.
 
Mike...He did just that....the agreed date was April 1.....absolutely...they promised that would be the very latest.. when we were up at the SBS in January they signed a contract... and said the boat would be done way before that date.....

Silly Roger ....He believed them ..

April 1 delivery date, think I'd picked March 31 just incase somebody thought they could pull a fast one. On another tack, what would happen if the C-brats decided to through a work party and all showed up at the factory to get Roger's boat ship shape in an afternoon.

Just a thought,

Sadie is coming along rather nicely. At 3-1/2 months, she does very good at the basics-- come, sit, no--no--NO--NO-- ha ha-- naw she evens knows the meaning of no.
I say kennel and she heads for the kennel and lays down-- she is even starting to go to kennel where we point-- the kennel or the mat.
Doesn't potty in the house--- wish I could say that for the tinkle :oops:
Took her with us on the lunch cruise to Anacapa and she did very well. :D
