Right now I'm at the bad dream stage hopefully not to enter the full blown out NIGHTMARE. I say this because I'm pretty patient, knowing people make mistakes buttt you need to be responsible and fix them.
I bought my brand new boat mid-summer last year. Took her out few times and I noticed while at anchor my bilge would automatically start bailing from time to time, checked out the lower compartments couldn't see any water but made a note, otherwise she was great. This spring, May, I made an appointment! to bring her in to install an auxilary battery and switch and to check out the possible leak. "When do you need it,?" "Don't rush it just do a good job" " OK we'll call you" About a month passed, "You haven't called is everything all right?" "We installed the battery & switch ok, but we took the boat out to the lake and discovered a leak in the seal of the exhaust, we have to remove the engine to re-seal it, no problem we'll get right on it. Good want to get out on the 4th. The 4th of July passed no boat. NOW I'm upset, it's been 7 weeks this is ridiculous. They call me late the next day, Sat, the boats ready. I go hauling 45 miles with 2 kids to get my boat. We take her the following Sunday. We launch her, the trim gauge isn't working, I tye up to ramp, my son checks to see if the motors in the water,, yes,, ok we pull out, she's not handling too good hmmm we're more than half way between the launch and a small island on the lake. The engine starts smoking like a cigar, open the hatch, water in the eng comp. like crazy. NOTHINGS WORKING
We sit on the island totally bumed for a couple hours. Decide to cross the no wake area to trailer it, MAN, She's overheating, Bell and Whistles going off taking on water trim won't go up. Am I at the NIGHTMARE stage yet.
Drag her limp back to the dealer.WHAT DID YOU DO!!! We'll get right on it.
It's been a week...Nothing YET
