I just read your post. I was very disappointed in you posting bad information about certain marina's. You of all people should not be.

I know first hand that you went to this same marina to buy a pontoon boat because you told a friend of mine that the boat line they carried was the best pontoon boat on the market.

You then told them that you were a friend of a very good customer of theirs. You didn't even know this person only by a craig's listing and his name. They believed you and gave you a steep discount based on your word. Then you asked them, I was told, to correct and add items to make the sale to your liking which they did. When it came to closing you walked away.

Walking away from a transaction is a buyers right. And buyers remorse is understood. But what is disappointing is how you continue to give them a bad name.

I'm totally confused and others as well......what is your motive?

Chasedawg.....I have no idea what you are talking about......I believe you have me confused with someone else.
I did not walk away from any closing.I went to Channel because I had already decided on a Bennington......made the deal that same day.
I had previously looked at the Premier at Winnisquam Marina but liked the design of the Bennington better.Never even got close to a deal but felt bad because they are awesome folks,who I've dealt with in the past.
Your statement that I said I was a friend of a good customer that I knew from Craigs list,gave me a steep discount and I walked away from a closing did not happen.I'll say again......you have confused me with someone else.
I've never even used Craigs list and I don't recall ever speaking badly of any marina's or any other business for that matter.
My wife might agree with you that I'm losing my mind but I can't recall any of this happening

That was MY mistake,Chasedawg.........I read it over quickly and didn't notice it was a quote......so sorry.
Knew it was some kind of a mix up and turned out to be mine.
