I cannot believe I have to defend myself ! How is one to learn if you do
not ask questions? I wrote I have a client in order to get unbiased
opinions on both of these motors... user reviews or what-ever. I know all
of the manufacturers information on both of these and I can compare them for
my client. I called Cat and CAT said "ours is better" and vice versa with
Cummins. I have piloted both yachts and they both have bennifits...

No need to defend yourself, Scot. I did preface my reply with "No
offense intended...", and, indeed, none was intended.

but my client is very picky as he is spending a lot of money and asked me
for some more information.... so research i do... maybe this is the wrong
group.. I am new at news groups.. Just thought I would give it a shot.

To be direct, I also wondered about the "I have a client..."
statement, and your "advertisement" in your signature. Not everyone
comes to this newsgroup with pure intentions. Want to buy a
cupholder?

Noah, you would be lucky to have an agent like me doing research... some
don't do anything but hand you the keys.

If you are working to give your client good service, I commend you for
it. Again, my reply was not intended to insult you. If I misjudged
your intent, I offer my sincere apologies.


I want to sell this guy four or five boats in his lifetime including all of
his friends... so every thing i produce for him and all my clients is
quality.

Sorry to ask a stupid question...

It wasn't a stupid question, just one that I would expect a yacht
broker to be familiar with. If I go a car dealer, and ask questions
about different engine options, I expect the salesperson to know the
answers. If he/she doesn't, I walk.

If you are relatively new to the job, and learning the trade, you may
want to drop the advertisement from your signature.

Thanks to all who responded nicely.

I didn't think I was "not nice", just direct.
No harm intended. Good luck with your sale.

Hi Noah,

I think he probably wants to learn more about this subject.

There are people here that have lots of knowledge on these two motors.

I am curious because I might want to buy something over 20' with a small
diesel some day?

I think the guy would have been better off if he had just left out the
"I have a client" part of his post. Sales people are suppose to know
all things about their products.
