I want to make clear to everyone one more time, THIS IS NOT A BASH MIKE'S MARINE THREAD! My intent on this thread was to get things moving faster than they are and it still is I have a great deal of confidence in Mike doing what is right by me "I'm just getting antsy without a boat" G3 now has the boat and they are inspecting it as I type. Also, I would like to give a little more of a breakdown on the way things have gone, the boat was taken to Mike's on or around 8/13/04 "yea I know Friday the 13th" for the pin holes and leakage, apone inspection the next week they found two cracks in the hull. they took pictures and Mike Jr. took the pics to G3 the next week when he went for training "we both had hoped for a resolution with just the pics", when he returned the next week I was informed that they wanted to see the boat not just pics. I took 3 weeks to get them to pic it up due to the hurricanes "I had to go strip the boat due to Mike having to get everything ready for the storm" which cost another week, then the driver of the next truck for pickup died and they did not have a ready replacement, then Ivan showed up the next week I think if we could have moved faster at the beginning, then all would have been resolved fairly quickly but as it turned out we didn't and now we are all getting a bit upset with one another "me, Mike and G3" I wanted to let ya'll know all the facts as best I could put it down due to Mike's receiving many emails from ya'll and to make sure that everyone is as informed as possible

G3 is replacing the boat Thanks to all who wrote and called on my behalf and thanks to Mike's Marine for working hard to get this resolved

Is Mikes going to give you a replacement right off the floor with a new engine?

One of these.

NAAA, I wouldn't want ta take your dream boat away from ya Don

Congrats Wevans...Does anybody else think its a weird concidence that as soon as Wevans was off the water all these hurricanes start heading our way? The sea is angry Wevans...she's calling your name

wevans- you get that party bardge stockwell mentioned and you could take all us red-necks deep sea fishin!

Glad to hear you're getting a new boat. Now, lets see how long that takes.

Last correspondence said that my motor and such will arrive on Monday and Mike's will put it on an in stock boat for delivery course, since I had ta take the electronics and such off of it myself, I expect that I'll have ta put em back on also
Eerman, lets just hope I get the boat before Jeanne decides ta make landfall

Now that You've had such good experience from the Boat retailers, Could you please include your Serial #s for us.... to try to Avoid... Us buying your Problem?

From my understanding, they plan to disect it to discover why the problem arose, so they can correct it "if it is indeed a defect of some sort"
