No. So why pick Sea Ray out for special crucifixion?

A) I own one that's made of cheap crap all mildewed and falling apart
so I have first hand experience losing $12,000 in the process....

B) He asked about Sea Ray and Regal and I know about Sea Ray.

Good enough?

Take a look at the pictures you link to.

See that one in the upper left?

Looks like the "chunks" of stuff are labeled by brand name. I can clearly see
Chapparal and Formula labels, along with the Sea Ray. Neither Chapparal or
Formula are Brunswick products.

Oh, yes. Pascoe always opens himself up to litigation from Brunswick
by lies and false statements. Get real....THEY SUCK!

Don't know about the Regal......I think most new boats are built this
way now to be made so cheap with so much profit. Those dealers riding
around with the Rolex in a Lexus are part of the problem.


Here's a real shocker for you: The dealers don't build the boats!

No, they don't....But a BIG portion of the price is DEALER
MARKUP....but, you being a dealer, you already know that.

Here's a real shocker for you Chuckie - the dealers do sell them, and they
either do or should know how they're built.

Karlie- Are the dealers *responsible* for the construction of the product? Do
they design and construct the boats? Of course not. There's a difference
between knowing how a boat is built and being responsible for building it that
way.

So what have 100's of dealers done over the years when the quality of the
product they are buying from the builder drops below the standard they would
like to offer to their customers? Usually, they will voice their opinion and
try to lobby for upgrades.
If that doesn't happen, dealers will often change franchises rather than sell a
produt that doesn't meet their company or personal standards.

There's a reason I have an older Hatteras - it doesn't have that kind of
crap in the hull bottom. It is nice, thick, SOLID fiberglass.

Keep that Hatt in good repair, because if you ever have to buy a new one it
will be built by Brunswick. :-)
