Question about JD Power
96SC:
Yea, Brooke, did they go out?
I didn't see any news this morning about a 13 boat pile up or a boat driving through a pier because they 'couldn't find the brake pedal'.
Brookenstein:
LMAO. They did ask me if it had breaks! ::)
Nope, they waited and are going out tomorrow with the dealer. They spent the weekend cleaning out the garage to make room for the boat.
Brewman:
Wise decision. It'd be a pity to harm that nice boat first time out.
They're gonna love that Crownline. If they have not done so already, have them check out Crownline's website. There is a very good user forum there.

How proficient are they at backing in a trailer? You may want to visit them when they try and take a camera and plenty of film, it may be an all day event.
Brewman:
Grab a six pack, a lawn chair, a video camera, and head to the public access.
I guarantee you on a busy weekend you'll have a blast.
I've seen so many try and launch their boats who don't have a clue- it's good humor- unless you're stuck in line behind them.
One of my favorites was the infamous "Toss me the keys" incident. A guy was standing in knee deep water, and asked his buddy to throw him the boat keys. Of course the keys were not on a floating keyring, and the guy missed the throw by a mile. Keys went "plunk" right into about 4 feet of muddy, weedy, water.
Not sure if he ever found them.
What really irritates me is the group gawk. A big truck pulls into the launch area, and about 8 people come spilling out- like clowns coming out of a VW Bug.
Anyway, 7 of the people stand around gawking and watching as one person backs the boat in, gets out of the truck, gets into the boat, starts it up, backs off the trailer, ties the boat off at the already too crowded dock, jumps out, gets into the truck, pulls the rig into the parking lot- the whole time all the other 7 just stand there.
What could have been a 2 minute in and gone turns into a 15 minute tie up at the launch site.
