Should I give up?

[moomba_armada]

Well..this is sad...after waiting since last november..when i got factory incentives from the Barcelona boat show to buy my Outback V..I´m thinking about giving up and ask the spanish dealer to give me back the 20% I have already paid in advance for this new boat.
Spanish dealer told me they were waiting for a confirmation for a building slot..but I asked them for this confirmation many times and..they always say the same..factory never confirm the slot..this is an everllasting waiting...I sent some e-mails to Skiers Choice´s customer support and even to Dan Miller..but if there is a customer support in SC, i never knew it...
Really afraid I´ll have to buy another brand of boat..after waiting for almost six months i still can´t get a date to have the boat...I´d love to just go to the dealer,like you lot do, and pay for the boat and tow it back home..but noway...
I think SC can´t handle the amount of boats they have to build,then..they shouldn´t open new dealers and then they shouldn´t try to look for new customers and just please the domestic market...Where are the professional fame of the Skiers Choice´s crew i have read about in this bulletin board???Whats about what they say in the back of the Moomba 2007 catalogue about customer support...???
Maybe there is no point to go on being a member of this bulletin board since i think i shan´t own a Moomba boat...
Oh well..i have learnt a lot reading this bulletin board so no harm done...just hope they tell me somthing in the next hours or i´ll give up..

Sorry to hear about your problem, but it could just as easily be the fault of your dealer as it could be SC. Dealers generally know how many production slots they are going to get and it's just a guess but I'm betting that a dealer in Spain has a pretty limited number of slots. Just another guess but it could be the case that your dealer already sold his allotted slots and was hoping to pick up another open slot later without knowing whether or not he could get one. He promises you a boat and takes a healthy deposit while he doesn't know whether or not he can actually get you a boat. I suppose the real proof will be how willing he is to give you back the money you put down on the boat.

Thanks for your answer,lowdrag...Maybe it is Spanish dealer fault but ,as i said,i got one of the 10 slots they were given with factory incentives for the Barcelona boat show by SC...they both blame eachother i think..but it´s a long waiting..and i am just back from a drive by the seaside to cheer me up a bit..and saw a really nice Rinker boat in a showroom....really nice white and yellow boat...double price that "my" desired Outback maybe..i´ll go later when the shop is open..asking is free..so is dreaming..

My friend just traded a Rinker for a Supra. Rinker is a good boat but has a few limitations. Like no wake to speak of and darn hard to hold 18 MPH.

I hope SC can help

Sounds like a dealer problem to me. You should be able to find an order date. If there was and order date in November that fell through the cracks, maybe Skier's Choice can remedy the situation by bumping it to the front of the line. If there was no order, maybe Skier's Choice can contact the dealer and find out why? Just my 20%, or yours. It's a shame not to be able to get what you want. Hope it all works out.

SC is responsible for distribution of their product. You should be able to contact SC and tell them that your dealer is not getting you the delivery date information and you need the status and it is important so you can update the message board and give the readers an update. It could be awaiting shipping as that can be a big delay waiting for a shipping slot. Customs has their delays also. The dealer should have figured all of that in and give you an accurate date. Wish you the best and hope it all works out.

Thanks Zabooda..as i said i did try to contact SC a few times by e-mail ..since my speaking english is not too good...but they did not even answer me back,that is why i feel a bit disappointed...dealer here tell me a new delivery date each time i talk to them..i don´t really know if the boat is built or not, i was told SC uses to send 2 previous confirmation e-mails about the options and to know all was right with the boat..i didn´t get anything...i had a hired place for the boat at the local dock for the summer months, i even lost it because i don´t want to pay for it and then have no boat..
It would be enough for me if someone from SC contacted me and just say:

a) you won´t have the boat

b) you will have the boat this day


As easy as this.

Come on YOU guys at skiers choice help this guy out hes got money in hand !!!!

Couldn't have said it any better Blue. I would like to think SC hasn't read this thread. The only option and probably the best option left is to call SC directly.
