====================================
That is unquestionably true unfortunately.
I hardly think I had anything at all to do with Peggy leaving & hope
not but as for :
I had the pleasure of
meeting Dave Brown in person once and he struck me as being a pretty
straight guy
Yep he was smooth dealer could present well sales sales sales.
struggling to run a small marina business in a small, out
of the way place in the world that has about a 3 month season.
Yes & I guess that meant he got lots of extra "rebates" however he
failed to mention the facts in all the dealer markup threads over the
years, indeed when I repeatedly called him on it he just personally
attacked me to maintain the deception (don't your remember him saying
he'd just "love" for all you gullible dealer lackies to see his
"invoice" & show how little his markup was????, you were being had by
pros!!!)
Indeed it wasn't till the OMC dealers tried to sue the OMC bankruptcy
administrator to steal what little was left from the union retirees,
that the magnitude of the deception was fully revealed (30% on Ficht
sales!!!!!).
Needless to say when attacked I happily oblige & will again if & when
the opportunity presents, hopefully gaining as much pleasu-)
If you are giving your personal view on him so you should, I guess I
can say I disagree?? but as always I like to give relevant reasons.
Although I'm a bit chuffed if you say I was instrumental in his demise
from here, really??? gee given what I took from him & the other OMC
bludgers;......... what a bunch of wimps!!!:-)
However I probably should be a bit modest & tell you if you bothered to
check you would have seen they were here spamming & abusing right up
till about 3 weeks before OMC rolled into the table drain (was that
possibly the time dealers got prior knowledge the end was nigh???? but
continued to sell defunct engines to unsuspecting consumers??), then
your good bloke NG dealers just dumped all the people they'd been
telling to buy Ficht:-) &.... wait for it.......... on mass ran away!!!!!!
As I said at the time I know I wished a pox on all their houses &
thought I'd done pretty OK when the pine tree arrived; but gee what
happened next was scary even for me:-)
Their victims were here day after day leading to weeks asking for any
help or even the most basic of information but ALL your hero dealers
just ran & hid as spammer cowards always do when there's nothing left to
sell!!! sell!!!! sell!!!
What?? then about a year or so later??? Tried to come back as a Merc
dealer:-) now that was funny really really hilarious, because during the
Ficht debacle he'd told this NG they should buy Ficht not only because
there was nothing wrong with it:-) but because they'd been told of
warehouses full of blown Optimaxes:-) Would have made spamming Optimaxes
a bit difficult yes?? No sales to made from the spam so ...........
Thanks Wayne brought back some NG funny times, sad times for the
boaters taken in by them ........ & the union retirees taken in by the
inept union funds of course.
