m... I walked in to the showroom on Sunday and put a deposit on the boat I looked at in the lot. I told them my wife would be in on Monday to arrange the financing. They called on Tuesday and said it's a go. We came back as a family to see if we could do our on the water delivery aearlier than planned and they told us it would have to wait until they got our boat delivered from somewhere else. What happened to the boat I put my deposit on, I asked? Oh, we sold it. Not happy at this point, but we'll do our on the water delivery on Sunday when you get our boat. A couple of days later and Oh, we can't do it on Sunday (because they sent the boat to a boat show). What the hell was the deposit for anyway? So, I'm a little ****ed off and I told them I wasn't interested anymore, but it was my wife's decision (it's her graduation present) whether to continue with the deal or not. They called back and said they would have the boat ready for our Sunday on the water delivery. Still, this leaves me with an uncomfortable feeling in my stomach which I should probably listen to and meanwhile I've looked at the four winns, and the crownline 192. Just thought I'd share. I had this happen once on a motorcycle with a motorcycle dealer. I stopped in to pick up my money and found what I wanted elsewhere. Don't let them claim that your deposit is forfeit either. They failed to deliver the boat you put a deposit on. If anything they owe you something for your inconvenience. I would explain to the dealership that you expect to be compensated for their failure to follow through and honor the agreement. I'ld also definitely call SeaRay and explain the unethical behavior of the dealership if the dealership doesn't go above and beyond for you to make up for this. You may also want to evaluate the response youg et from SeaRay if you call them directly. I'ld go further to say if you don't like what you hear that you should consider a different brand. My reservation on that though is that SeaRay does make a top quality hull. If it is really what you want you might be better served to find another dealership. http://www.searay.com/index.asp Hope this helps. My experience is that dealerships who have been indifferent and dishonorable to me never get any better. Whether it be a boat shop, a motorcycle shop, or a car dealership. Best of luck to you.
