New Formula Boat Dealer

911 Carrera · 05-16-2011, 04:50 PM

Admittedly I am new to this forum but I have vacationed on the waters of Winnipesaukee for many years and am quite familiar with many of the local marina's operations and their operators. After reading this thread for the first time I could not believe how much misinformation and conjecture there has been regarding the Formula boat line, PBM and LLM. Frankly some of the posts here are incredible in their inaccuracy and certainly not fair especially to both Formula and LLM. Ms. Blizzard was not the problem she has been made out to be. The economy is the real villian as it has been throughout the entire marine, RV, etc. recreational industries. Realize that very few marinas on Winni maintain the dealer status they had five years ago with manufacturers.

Now the Lakeport railroad bridge is being used as a tool against LLM. Let the record show it took LLM years to get permits from the state to do a project that cost LLM hundreds of thousands of dollars. That project opened up an area of the lake that had been previously inaccessible to some larger boats. Certainly PBM benefited without any expense to them.

...was PBM even in biz when the RR thing came to pass..?...and what IS the implication you're making..?..PBM will now be held hostage by LLM..?...spit it out men...lol...or obfuscate...I don't care..it's all bologna here...

911 Carrera · 05-16-2011, 05:21 PM

There was another marina previously in the current PBM location. In fact the owners of PBM and LLM are on good terms as are most marinas on the big lake. To bring you up to speed, read my earlier post. You may also want to read other posts from people like Bentley Boy who seem to know what has been really going on. Get informed.

NHBUOY · 05-16-2011, 05:52 PM

...I AM informed...which is why I posted what I did...BB talks like a lawyer, so I'll "believe" some of what he says.

...(which, so far, has been entertaining, educational, and amusing)...you 1st post guys are usually troublemakers.

...incredibly inaccurate, unfair, or totally wrong is what posts like this thrive on...lol...carry on...

911 Carrera · 05-16-2011, 06:03 PM

You are quite amusing but we will soon see who knows what. You are right, Bentley Boy does act like a lawyer

There have been no problems in the twenty plus years the bridge has been there. Cheers!!

Welcome to the Forum New Guy.

NB

OH Wait: Maybe I should have said.... Welcome aboard Cowboy.

911 Carrera · 05-16-2011, 07:28 PM

An English cowboy?? I think not unless we are herding Jaguars on horse back. Not likely is it?? Cheers!!

I'd be interested to know if anyone who's posted on this thread is actually, currently a LLM customer?

Bentley Boy is an employee at Lake-port Landing. Outside of being a wise guy, he does have the inside scoop.

Once again, more unfounded speculation on this thread!! I, Bentley Boy, am not and never have been a Lakeport Landing Marina employee. I do have though a long time familiarity of the marine industry in N.H. Nice try though!!

My guess is that Bentley Boy used to be a fry cook at the Burger King and now passes his time hanging out at different marinas. ha ha ha

Just having some fun BB. This thread is hilarious with speculation and misinformation.

Sig: You are untypically correct, I am a very wise guy!!

BB, since you are soooo WISE, why don't you inform us as to what is happening over at LLM and the BIG announcement that is coming up. Show us that you are in the know.

Bentley Boy · 05-17-2011, 01:03 PM

I am sorry but I have been sworn to secrecy on this. I am not sure when the open house and the announcements will come but Memorial Day weekend would be my guess. The marine industry's model year changes, etc. usually occur in early July so I believe announcements will be made to coincide with that event.

I truly believe this will put to rest any question that LLM is not still considered an extremely desirable dealer to high line boat manufacturers and suppliers. LLM has an unparalleled reputation with its customers and the manufacturers they have represented. I guess that explains their great and continuing earned success. In all my years I have seen many excellent marina operations but, for more than thirty years, LLM still stands amongst the very best. But you do not need to believe me, just ask their customers and especially those that have been so loyal to LLM for decades. Actions always speak louder than words. (And do not believe everything you read - especially here.)

I am a customer of Lakeport Landing, and everything BB says in this post is absolutely accurate in my opinion. Their service and employees are the best in the business.

Two dobys · 05-17-2011, 04:29 PM

I have had excellent experiences with Lakeport Landing, going back to the eighties. Always treated great, and their service has been great. I would buy another boat from them without a doubt.
Just my opinion, not looking to stir the pot.

Why is this thread so inactive all of a sudden?? The silence is deafening. I was truly enjoying all the banter. Oh well. Cheers!!

After reading the latest BS centered around a railroad bridge, can't anyone just answer JustSold's simple question?
