Hey Ken and Marke

[Rob LaMoy]

Have any newer used rigs in-stock for under $20k? Let me know, and any brand is fine. I'm finding rigs, but all WAY south or west. Best I've found is a 1997 19'6" Stratos 295 Elite, (I know I said not Stratos, but I'll tweak it) with a 200 HP Johnson limited 3.0 fuel injection. Dual axle w/brakes, loaded rig for $13k!!! In TN, might have to take me a trip here. I have ridden in 5 Stratos', Mickey's freaked me out, but that last one was a 201XL also and ran fine. No chine walk to speak of that couldn't be handled. Whatever I buy, I will take out for a test drive and drop the hammer! Ken, you take trade ins right? That's why I'm hoping you have some rigs and maybe if I don't sell mine, I can bring it in. Sure I'll take a loss, but it's a business expense. Prefer dual console. The Stratos is not.

Nothing right now Rob, and I only take trade-ins that are 5yrs old and newer. I'll let you know if I get something in...e-mail Mac, his 901 is for sale.

 

[Rob LaMoy]

Yeah, but his seat is shot! Us big butted guys will do that according to scrawny Trep. LOL and there's all the marker residue on it, and it's bad juju since it's never seen any REAL big fish except when Mini borrowed it! LOL And me no likey Optis! Efi yes, opti NO! But again, if I get a relatively new used boat, I want the transferred warranty. Tracker won't give me that. But I do highly respect you, your shop, and the service you give, so if you get a newer rig that I can have a hull warranty on, I will drive the hours out to get it at Auburn Hills! Thanks, keep me posted.

As a dealer if you take in a trade that still has warranty time left, can you do warranty repairs before you resell the boat or is the individual owner the only one who can get warranty work reimbursed?

 

[Ken Neeley]

If I take a trade that needs warranty work, I generate a work order in the customers name and do the warranty repairs before I do the deal and take it in on trade.

Rob,,...Bite me!!..LOL

 

[Rob LaMoy]

Thanks, but NO thanks, quite frankly, you don't look all that tasty! Filling sure, but not that tasty! LOL Besides, you probably bleed marker ink!
