I am pissed over the fact that I just went into debt for 15 years and have a boat the is having problems but I know it is gonna happen it is a small issue that can be fixed I am waiting to hear from the dealer ,I called this morning and the owner spoke w/ me he seemed upset over this whole issue I am having ,so far I have faith in the dealer

[Pole-lock]

Is this the 3rd problem? I'd be pissed too!

there are 2 things to rate, the service department and  then the quality of the boat.  It looks like the service is great, but the quality of the boat so far is in question.  All of these things should have been checked from the factory, then checked again by the dealer, by the time it gets to you, it should be PERFECT.

just got off the phone w/ the dealer and they found the problem ,they said that when the tank got put in they were sealing everything with silacone and a drop of it got on the screen and caused a clog in my pick up ,they ran the boat for a couple hours and they are bringing it back to me soon ,hope all is well this time

Hi Cat,

I hope this gets you past some of the headaches.

The dealer sounds like they were very helpful ...

Good luck and I hope the drama has past,

Capt. Ed

PS. Time to go fishing ...

That's b/s.... take a big boot and put it up the dealers a**.  If you bought a new car and the engine crapped out three times everyone would be screaming exercise the lemon law... The same should apply to boat dealers.   When I buy something new I do it because I don't want to deal with the problems associated with the word used.

If you don't mind me asking what year is your Merc Optimax?  I only ask because I believe the 2002 yr for those outboards got dubbed the name "POPtiMax" because the power heads always blew out among other problems.  Just a rumor though..not from self experience.  Do you slip at Jack's?  Maybe I'll see ya around.
