Hey Bussman, this is my first post here. I just read all ten pages, and I'm outraged. I can't believe they're screwing around and not giving you what you paid for. If I was the guy responsible for pulling this stunt, I'd replace everything and pray you didn't have me thrown in jail! This should be cut and dry. I live in the albany area, and I am an avid boater, my boat is docked at the castleton boat club on the Hudson. I will never ever go to the boat and rv warehouse, in fact I will make sure everyone I know never goes there. I HATE this kind of crap. I am a mod on several outdoor sites and this link is going everywhere I can put it. Wise up merc, and do the right thing. Thank you Mr Smoker you are off the hit list. Bussman, since you don't have a boat, I would like to give you an invitation to fish with me on the Hudson for stripers. You can e-mail me if your interested.
If the dealer messed with the rig, why should the manufacturer be responsible for replacing it?
I see alot of replies saying Merc ought to take the motor back and or Smoker Craft take the whole rig back. It seems to me the it was the dealer that was the cause of all the problems. If the dealer messed with the rig, why should the manufacturer be responsible for replacing it? I do feel they should put the pressure of the dealer for righting all wrongs, if not, terminate them as dealers for the products.
its merc and smoker craft that chose to have the boat & rv place sell their product. i agree that b&r should take care of it but, 1) they srcewed it up in the start whats to say they are capable to fix it 2) if the b&r place wont do anything then merc or smoker should. you paid for a new not rebuilt or mended boat and motor. you should get a NEW boat and motor. if not then tell them they owe you money for the used boat you paid new price for.if i were to put a roof on your house and charge full price but put used shingles on, would you be satisfied. i think not. why should a boat be any different. so what if it has the same warranty.big deal.the amount of money difference between buying that boat new compared to used is alot. and its used!new motor period!wouldn't settle for less.and to be quite honest the boat too.if it was me i'd give you a whole new package and send you down the road happy.good luck george. hope someone makes this right for you.

Wait until you guys see this!!http://www.rv.net/forum/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/15960512/gotomsg/15960977.cfmNow I feel like a fool! I will never buy anything without a Hiring a PI to do a background check on the place first!
The problem is that B&RV can and do move a lot of boats and the manufacturers want their product sold. B&RV does that and the manufactureres turn a deaf ear to the consumer. Boat and RV from what I have heard has had a bad rep for some time and the manufacturers need to do something about this dealer. Evertime I went in there over the past 2 years the service manager has changed, the mechanics change and the general manager has changed. more than once
