Is this hypocritical?

[fatlazyless]

Go to www.faysboatyard.com used boats, and you should learn that this performance boat is a consignment sale ...... so the boat owner has picked Fay's for his venue to get the boat sold......who know's.......maybe the boat owner had it listed all summer on Craigslist.....and just recently decided to give Fay's a try. As I understand, Fay's makes a specified percentage of the selling price, do not know what that is, and has a minimum $750 fee on each boat sale.


Is there any chance that could be a Fountain for $9500?

Fay's should have refused to take the listing on principle - period. But instead, he sees $$$ and that's all that counts to him. I stand by my statements and position.

I can't figure out why Fay's ad about this boat on their website would contradict what he campaigned so hard for...and that is reduce boat speed.
Either you are for boat speed or you are against all that it stands for...and that includes advertising that a boat will reach 100 MPH.

This is what the ad states:

"Unbelievable 38’ Fountain fever with twin supercharged 502’s this is simply the best 38’ fountain Fever on the market. She has been babied her entire life. Always lift kept, and flushed after every run. Twin 502's with only 180 hours, will help this boat cruise at 70 and hit a top speed of 100. This is the Anniversary edition, so it is loaded with extras!!!

Obviously, ethics takes a back seat to ca$h.

This doesn't surprise me in the least.

Following that video, those 38' Fountains soon may be flooding the market!

I suspect that boat will be sold out-of-state.

However, I can see the salesman saying, "Too bad you'd be ticketed if you use half of this speedboat's potential...let me show you this beautiful—and brand-new sailboat over here—for far less...No fuel expenses, and great viewing of the mountains around the lake."

OMG Rusty! Someone fibbed about why they wanted a law.

I think he backed the law because he thought it would put more money in his pocket. I think he's selling this boat because it will put money in his pocket.

He is very consistent and doing what a business owner should, earning money for his family. It's only the fools that thought he pushed the law for safety, that are surprised.

Probably, the person who wrote the ad desrcription was not the owner of Fay's Boat Yard, but was in the sales dept at www.faysboatyard.com and wants to make his payday by finding a performance boat buyer out there.........somewhere!


More important ......what's the asking price on this 38' Fountain Fever?

[Wolfeboro_Baja]

FLL, the asking price is $99,000. BTW, the model year of that boat is 1999. Looks very clean too!

And what does that have to do with the price of tea in China?

Speaking of Fay's. Maybe four years ago, I was in Fay's on business and Merrill Fay came up to me in the repair dept. and asked me if I would like to sign "The Petition" that I was reading. I declined but said I would think about it.

Shameless Plug: That same afternoon, maybe 2:30 PM, I special ordered a pair of exhaust manifolds and risers for my Go Fast. I always spend my vacations working on the boat. The new manifolds were on Fay's doorstep at 8:00 AM the next morning, shipped from Connecticut during the night. No Charge for the shipping. NB

I might add.. the PRICE was right as well.
