Laser … What can one say …that’s got to be a horrible feeling seeing a boat (brand new) fall apart before your eye ….Regardless of who made it …. Sorry you’re having such issues with them….. That’s just not right…It sux!!

Not like me to get involved in discussion like this and BUT what a great first post thread to get involved in here !!!

Hopper …good points …. And I really echo your sentiments. (I had a whole lot typed out …but I deleted it ….)
I know you said you researched boats prior to your purchase … But what lead you to your selection?? I ask as there are sooo many to choose from in that size range. I was involved in a similar situation (more to do with deception of a sales person and some untruths about abilities of a boat)

Whats been Anglers response to your site ?

FYI for anyone looking for a new boat …. In my opinion one of the Best ways to find out about a boat is to walk around the docks where people keep em ….Listen real good to what people say ….. don’t forget to ask how long they have had the boat … Talk around the dock is invaluable … Not a sales pitch at a boat show , dealership or magazine. Real world experience is what counts.

Got tons more about that ...but dont want to bore anyone

Laser man here. I don't type so I'm using one of those speaking units. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. I appreciate your support I'm getting here on SB. if people don't stand up to their problems and help each other than the problem never goes away. I just got back from Brunswick a little while ago and I saw all these new post and appreciate the support. iam going to try to answer tomorrow. Thanks laser man.

I for one find it helpful to read about others experiences with new boat purchases. Thanks LM.

I will be buying a new boat in the spring. I have seen the adds for the 21' Angler. Looked like a good deal. Maybe too good to be true.

This issue here is does the company and dealer stand behind their product. Apparently not.

To put a positive spin on this Angler issue. The guy who has been slipped beside me for the past 2 years has a 99-00 20' Angler 204 DC model. The boat looks good the only thing I notice is the bow rail has rusted, talking to the owner he has had no problems with the boat itself. He really enjoys it.

To Westport Jeff: I can definitely say that they have not stood behind their product. They have chosen to completely ignore me since I took possession of the new 29 foot.
I've sent them two emails about the problems I have experienced since taking possession of the new boat. No response whatsoever.

To John R. - My final selection was the result of the abundant claims that Angler makes on their websites, in their brochures and at their dealerships.

I was completely led to believe that owning an Angler would be a great investment.

What a piece of CRAP. I just pulled the deck plate over the fuel sender as I like to leave them off for the winter to let everything air out....my fuel tank is COMPLETELY submerged in water to the bottom of the deck!
Course I called the factory and you know WHO is dodging calls.

[UserRemoved1]

that's after pulling the port side trim tab actuator and finding a 1/2 cup of water drain out of the transom.

Somebody buy this piece of junk cuz or else i'm going to drive it through their front doors.

Salty …. WOW , WOW and another WOW

Thats down right scary !!! Hope it's , at least, fresh and not salt water ??!!??

[007laserman]

boy i better ck my tank. if i have one............ but salty ive never been in the water but 1hr. with my angler. i know the storage compartments dont drain.but angler said thats ok. well angler doesnt pay for the fuel ether. those boxes must hold 500gl. when i had the boat in the water we look in the bulge an found the thruhull fiting pouring waterin the boat.thats when i came back in an parked it. not going out in it again. its a shameeeeeee.
