![]() "Donal" wrote in message ... Shame on the rest of you. You've all forgotten what it was like to buy your first boat. Regards Donal You can't be serious. I do remember what it was like to buy my first boat, one of the reasons I've posted some of the things I have to "jim" I also owned an overrated pocket cruiser, I will at least give the builder some credit as they are finally advertising the boat with some equipment, things you'll need if you want to take your boat home when you buy it. http://www.westwightpotter.com/p19options.htm mac still does not advertise a realistic "sail-away" price. When I purchased mine, they didn't advertise a "sail away" price, they are now advertising(print media too) the boat with a price that more closely reflects what you'll actually pay for one. Owners of these boats are quite rabid about how much they love them and how great they are, but they're not as great as you might think they are based on the hype. If I had had some feedback of the nature of the kind we've been giving "jim", I might have seriously reconsidered my purchase decision. Was the boat that bad? No, probably not. Was the boat as good as it's hype? No, definitely not. They used to advertise this boat as capable of crossing oceans, indeed, I recall reading an account of a passage to the Bahamas from Fla. in a 15 foot version of this boat, with three adults aboard! I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, but I can't believe "jim" is serious. So, to sum it all up: A. "jim" is probably a troll, as evidenced by his correspondence with BS, and the very content of his posts. B. I would venture to guess that the overwhelming majority of first time sailboat owners are novices, who can be expected to not know any better, "jim" has been claiming otherwise since he first posted. C. When you troll, you might hook a fish that you didn't intend to, like a 4 ft. mako, for example. D. There is also the possibility that "jim" is chicken hawking for mac, being a pimp is infinitely worse than being a rent boy, don't you think? John Cairns |
