Location: Rhinelander | Fred G, and Terror,
This case is, by all accounts, not a 'common' occurence and cetainly not representative of the norm in that product by any measure. I get around a bit, and talk to more boat owners than most, fiding most owners very happy with the Tundra. Terroreys isn't, for what appears from his side of the story to be good reason with that particular boat.
This issue is a personal back/forth between an owner with serious warranty issues and Tracker Marine, and doesn't belong here for obvious reasons including our general posting permissions. I don't have the time or inclination to call the manufacturer and consumer for an affadavit every time an argument between an owner and builder is posted to get the complete facts, and anything published here, folks, is legally considered to be OutdoorsFIRST's responsibility, opinion, and belief, NOT the poster's. Look it up. Google Internet Law, and search the various segments that might apply. I just saw a debate on Fox News between some of the top legal minds out there in Internet Liability and Law on moderated AND unmoderated message boards and even blogs, and according to those folks one can expect test prosecutions coming in the near future on several fronts, some mirroring this one. They said the free-for- all- train wreck-say whatever one wishes times are coming to a close, and fairly soon at that. I'd prefer to be at the FLW championship providing the best coverage we can than sitting in a hearing room trying to explain our posting permissions to an examiner, but that's me.
I can locate similar occurences with almost any brand out there; almost to the T with things broken on the rig in transit, repairs not being what is expected, delays in repair and return, etc. That includes Ranger, Skeeter, Tuffy, Warrior, Lund, all of them, defective boats get built, and warranty nightmares do happen. In fact, some builders require the boat be de-rigged completely by the dealer before shipping to the factory for hull repairs BECAUSE things might (and probably will) be damaged in shipping, storage, and the repair process.
This is an issue between an owner and the factory, and needs to be be resolved between the parties. |
