i recently decided after eight years to get back into boating. i called myself doing research to see which brand of boat i should buy, after narrowing it down between searay and chaparral i began looking. marine max in buford,ga. had an excellent salesman so i decided to do business with them. after the finance manager was extremly rude after i told them i would do my own financing i should had known better, but i really wanted the 205 sport that they had located. marine max said i had to pay for the boat in full before they would go get from another dealer. now i understand why, because we picked up the boat middle to end of july and on the way home we stopped by the lake only to get stranded on the lake because the boat quit running. keep in mind one of their selling points was that they had to take the boat out and test before i could take delivery, really don't know if they did or didn't. marine max picked up our boat august 5th, today is august 28th and we still have no boat. i did contact searay via email shortly after the running problem and also pointed out three other things that were wrong with the boat after further inspection, they sent me a canned letter saying that the dealer would get in contact and correct our problems, a month later they haven't even followed up to see if everything was corrected. yesterday they sent me a survey of which i checked everything unsatisfactory, of which they still have made no contact. long story short if i ever get this boat back i will be back out of boating and write the loss off as a bad experience.
