Response to Tige's CSI Survey

[gstauffer]

You're right, i'm wrong, you win, blah, blah, blah. Sorry I asked if you got your boat back in time to enjoy it

Oh, if you believe CC's are built better then Tige, you haven't looked at a CC very close.

OK:

1st - I never said "Correct Crafts are built better than Tige" however I have implied that so far I have had a much better experience with Correct Craft as compared to Tige. Sorry if that offended you. Again, if you go back and re-read my original post most of my issues are customer service oriented after the mechanical problem which no one seams to notice or even mention.

2nd - It is not like I am jumping on this board or any other site every chance I get to throw a shot @ Tige'. I fully expect that the remainder of the time with our Tige' will be very pleasant and enjoyable with many years of great boating to come.

3rd- I have looked very close @ how Correct Crafts are built and I am not dumb enough to make a general comment about one boat being built better than the other because I am not an expert in boat building. "That" and the fact that the differences between all the brands when it comes to manufacturing are so staggering, the only thing I could really offer is an opinion and we all know how well those are received around here unless you label Tige' as the "King of all Brands".

The funny thing is I made the switch but I guess that is not good enough for you. I guess I will have to send you a picture when I decide to have Tige' tattooed to my a$$.

I do not understand why it is so hard for you to accept that I had what I feel is a poor or bad experience right out of the box with Tige'; "nothing more, nothing less".

Choosing a dealer to service your boat is pretty important, you may want to see if a non-tige dealer can service your boat in the future. I work at an MC dealer and I have found a servicing dealer for buyers outside of our service area. South Dakato for example has very few inboard dealers but I have located a Sea Ray dealer with a great service reputation, they contact us to authorize the work, parts, etc. and it is seemless to the boat owner.

In instances like this we would prefere to do the work in house but obviously 3-5 hour drives are not always a practical option. I know we have done warranty work on non MC boats, some companies are more conducive to this type of arrangment.Check it out, it might work for you if you have a future need for service work.

Thanks Corey!

I found out that there is a MC dealer not far from where we keep the boat but my initial calls to him did not actually give me the warm and fuzzy feeling you want when dealing with a brand new transmission. I am sure I can work something out w/ Tige" and this MC dealer in the future if the need arises.

Once again, your right, I'm wrong, but (A) I never said "you said". Your OP implied (in other words, you believe) that CC is a better built boat then Malibu, MasterCraft, and Tige. You were very clear that one more problem with the Tige and it's back to the CC. IMPO, Tige is built every bit as good, if not better, as the others. MC's are welll built boat, and Bu and CC are good at hiding what they dont want a customer to see.

I'm sorry that you are so worked up over this. My post earlier today was one of a general interest on whether or not your boat got fixed, and were you able to enjoy it the rest of the Summer, somehow I have become a target for your frustration over a new boat breaking down and no longer being close to your selling dealer. You have been so quick to accuse others of missing your point, that I feel you missed mine Sorry for the misunderstanding of my post, was not looking for an argument with you. You are not the only one that has had issues with a brand new boat, of any brand. It sounds like the dealer you took it to got it fixed, sounds like Lee at Marine Power helped out as usual, and Tige stood behind their product. I'm sorry that no one from Tige contacted you in response of your CSI reply. If you are still unhappy, I can tell you number of people who you can get in contact with @ Tige that would be interested in hearing from you.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I am over it and will lay this one to rest.

Hay, no hard feelings here. I hope your boat is performing to it's full potential and you and your family are able to enjoy it for many years to come.

Post up some pics if you haven't already

Hey that would be great, we all love pic's around here. The only request is, that it be of you and you family enjoying the boat, we all wouldn't care too much for the tattoo suggestion.

No foolin, send us some pics of your vessel, we really thrive off of pics.

Glad to hear you got it all fixed and back in service again.

Uh Thanks but you guys did the warranty work on our boat. You might want to go back and read my opening post to this thread.

Shoot me a PM or give me a call if you want, you should have my numbers from the repair order.

As noted I did not have an issue w/ State-a-Mind and I am sure that you would have caught the throttle & steering wheel issues before I picked the boat up if you would have been able to water test after the service. The floods were not your fault.
