[Beer Factor]

[JetBoatRich]

The Papp thread was headed no where good in a hurry :yuk:

[Jordy]

Must have been a bad day for threads around here as the original Prepared Statement thread is gone too... :notam:

[OutCole'd]

I believe the originator deleted the Tom Papp thread.
Smart move.

Why is it a smart move?? If a provider is not performing to satisfaction, is this not the place to warn other boaters?? In any industry, if you are good at what you do and provide the service promised, you will be hailed upon and you business will thrive. If you provide crap service or products, you will sqwander in the shadows of cheats and shady business. I personally model the service and pride in my work. Is this not a place to warn without slander or libel? I know that things can go wrong quick on here, but knowing who has had good and bad experiences helps many of us direct our choices. Just my .02 about deleting informative threads. Not bashing threads... those should go bye bye. We all know the boating industry is straight forward and honest right

I can agree with you to a point but without being able to read both sides of the story, it's tough for anyone to make an educated decision. Personally, I didn't think WOT did any bashing and was only looking for some additional advice. I can also understand his frustration of wanting to get his new to him boat on the water.
The problem is people start taking sides and it's inevitable that it's going to turn into a bash bowl......I've learned that from first hand experience

But if a company has more bashing than positives, shouldn't the buyer beware?? I know that when I used to have smaller boats I used to be treadted like a stepchild, not saying that my current boat is a bling sling, but I consider it nice for me. But get treated much differently with a 6figure boat now.

I just meant "smart move" because if someone was building my motor and I posted a thread like this when I still hoped to take delivery, I'm not sure what kind of motor I would have recieved in the long run.
I agree this is a great place to warn people about shady business practices, I just would make sure I had either the motor or my money back before I did.
Just my own opinion, that's all.
