In fact, can't think of single "lemon" product I've had in 30 plus years. My Dad taught me to take care of all of my tools and I seldom have issues with homes, cars, motorcycles, 4 wheelers, trucks, from many many manufacturers. but are more than ready to tell you how it's all the manufacturers fault. Often, it could be that they leave the boat out in the elements, they run it hard and take no time to run Ring Free, Stabil, quality gas, etc. who will be happy to tell you all the issues they've had with their boats. I tend to believe you can find 1 in 10 owners of Skeeters, Rangers, Bass Cats, Phoenixs, Stratos, Nitros, etc. All new products with moving parts are going to have issues on occasion. There will always be lemons in any product line. I guarantee if any of them started down that road, I would have walked out quickly. NOT ONE time did anyone say anything negative about any other boat manufacturer. I was treated professionally by all at the dealership, the boat was everything it was promised to be, the parts department was top notch and explained all of my added options, salesman took a tremendous amount of time to explain the features of the boat, the break in process, made sure I was happy.

The customer is usually well aware of the shortcomings of their current supplier, so we don't need to point out the customer's stupidity in doing business with our competitors. I train my reps to sell the advantages of our company, product quality, customer service, our attributes and to never talk the competition down. I've been in sales management for the last 15.
