Well Yall - I finally got my new boat!

Lower unit on motor was broken by Travis when they removed from temporary trailer into the test tank. The piece was about 4 to 6 inches long. They welded the piece back on but.... The sacrificial annode is not there and they still need to do paint work.

Bezel around the console door has a big chip missing from it.

Console door does not close without putting unususal pressure on it or closing it hard because it rubs.

Other compartments do not open and close with out rubbing - poor alignment of hinges and hardware.

Rod tip protector tubes on one side not there where the other boat had them on both sides. (change from 04 to 05 models)

Drain hole for fish box reduced from a 1in (apx) hole to a 3/8in (apx) hard plastic elbowed hole. (change from 04 to 05 models)

Swing jack on trailer was totaled and replaced with an older crappy one.

Rubbed the emblemn with my finger on the steering wheel and it fell off.

Nose of the boat has some dent in it from who knows what.

I guess I just cant win - can I...

What should I do?
All In A Days Fun!!!

Dean, you need to quit dealing with Travis Marine. Nothing around here but horror stories with these jokers also. Man, I can find you used boats around here in better shape for 1/2 the price. Suck it up and do what it takes. You got shafted!
It kinda looks like a SNOOK!

Kick some and take names!

I would suggest raising all kinds of cane with Ranger and don't settle for anything less than perfection.

Guys - Thems some mixed reviews!! Sounds like an overwhelming vote to SUE- SUE- SUE!!!!

This morning I spoke with a lawyer who said I have a pretty good case of the "Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act" and "Breech of Implied Warranty". He pointed out that the costs would be pretty significant to fight and that I should find a lawyer who will take it on a "contingency" bases. He does not think I will have a problem with that either. I have found a law firm in Louisianna that practices in Texas and specializes in this type of case. I will send my case to them - but I have hundreds of pages of emails, pictures, and receipts to copy to send to him.

It is also possible that I might be able to get punitive damages totaling 3 times original suit (I'm into this thing for $50K so...) In light of all of this potential I am still ready to take a 20% loss just to get it over with. BUT- Once I get started I plan to go for the gusto..

I've been through 1 law suit before but this one will be a new experience. I will be on the other side this time.

I sure miss fishing - it has been over a month since I've gone... I guess I will have to revert to shore fishing again for a few years.
