The problem is that, I did look around for an entire year before deciding on an angler boat... I am not the kind of person who is easily sold. Everything I was able to find about the Angler said it was a good boat every claim made by Anglers dealership, and there website seemed to be reputable as well as factual. I guess they do a great job of hiding the real truth.
I've been around boats all my life, built a few, and repaired a lot. When someone tells me on their website and in their brochure that it's hand laid, super gel coat and no wood stringers, I figure it to be a well made boat.
There are two issues here... The quality of the boat and the manufacturers responsibility to the customer. I myself am a manufacturer, I sell a lot of products. Unfortunately, my company has warranty issues from time to time as well.
Unlike Angler, my reputation and the reputation of my company means something... I have and will continue to bend over backwards for my customers when a problem arises.
I want to clarify one more thing here, the hundred thousand dollars is not just the boat. It's the boat, the motors and the electronics. They totalled $99,000 and some change.
Hooper, it's funny you mentioned SeaVee. I gave that boat a long hard look. They had a long lead time.
It's funny we both have the same kind of dog.
