Warranty Issue with New SN200

Sorry to ruffle your feathers, rambling man...just would like to hear the noise....do you have any better ideas ?

Paul I like the word extraneous along with the BS. I am saddened that this guy has laundered his greivance here on CCF and on PN. Seems to me he is fanning the fire to get nothing for doing what he is doing. I have been involved with a few similar instances while at CC and we went out of our way to make the customer happy. I know the new Regime at Nautiques is bending over backwards to help this guy get what he has paid for.

Dude! let Nautiques fix your boat, you got nothing to loose.

And for the rest of you claim jumpers remember their are two sides to every story and Nautiques have not been on either site and hung out their laundry!!!

paul,
Fill me (us) in on exactly what the laser alignment does and how it works.

Fl Inboards wrote: Actually it is not laser alignment per say to align the motor to the running assembly. But more laser location during instilation of the underwater gear and location of the hole for the shaft log assembly! All done with laser drill and boring fixtures designed in house at Nautiques. It really works well, fast and accurate!!

Jody,
I'm fully aware of what it does but wanted to see if Paul understood the procedure. Yes, it does a good job for the underwater gear but not engine to shaft. I'd say Paul doesn't have the slightest idea!!

Actman- I am somewhat a neighbor(Severn Falls) and we have been looking at boats with a view to finalizing a purchase at the Toronto Boat Show. I can assure you that I would not have my new boat dragged across the continent and returned to me in the winter when I can not test it or know whether I am storing my pride and joy or just another annoyance. You have a substantial investment in time and money in this and I hope you see it through to a beneficial conclusion.
Good luck and we are watching.

Well spoken there Mr. B, I think you spoke what a lot of us were thinking.
Jody, I am surprised at your statement and your reasoning .You assume that you and your buddy are the know alls and we are a bunch of dumb "hobbiest" wanna be's. I have one question , jody? If he is so damn good why he gotta slow boat, and then show the world ...E GADS Batman

Yes you are just down the road thanks for the support! If you ever want to go for a pull let me know.

I am no mechanic . This may be a long shot , but what if all of these boats have that noise but maybe yours has a bad motor mount that is allowing metal to metal vibrate through the hull . This would appear to make the noise louder . Again, not a mechanic . I dont even know if these motor mounts are supposed to have rubber or something soft in them . Just my 2 cents . whatever happens good luck and I hope it goes your way .

Billy,

Shark uses his boat as the original designers intended it, as a ski machine not a hot rod. Believe all of his mods have been done to improve it's ski-ability, wake size, etc., not for bragging rights.

You only need to run 36 in a slalom course.

ACTMAN, good luck with your problem, if it was me I would let CC/Nautique take the boat back and fix it, otherwise offer them a few bucks for a new boat and have them keep yours.

Funny this has turned into a feeding frenzy!
But again everyone is only hearing one side of the story and your not going to hear from Nautiques on this. I am suprised that both Keith (CCF) and Nautique Jeff (PN) has alowed these threds to continue.

Having had 2 200's now I know they are a different sounding boat from previous models. They are a different cat they run higher RPM's they Drive different, They ski different. As far as ACTMAN's continued posting of his greviance if it has taken 2 and half months to resolve then thats his problem and more than likely he brought it upon himself for all these posts on two different forums.

Boat Dr (Billy). What's up the Batman Schtick?? You Know I am akin to Superman!!!

Pete!!! Well You keep policing the threds your doing a jam up job!!

Mike We will never know as we will not and are not privy to the other side of the story. I have been involved with customer service in the past, had to take a few boats apart for various reasons but in the end the customer was satisfied with the results of what ever agreement that was made.

Paul, Dont go away as you have a lot to share as it pertains to your expertise and experimentation both as it applies to watersking and modern tournament boats. And thanks for the inside look at your project.

Actman You might want to consider a Mastercraft or Malibu if you continue to not be satisfied with your outcome!!

F1 Inboards you sure have alot to say about everyone! i'm new on here so I figure everyone knows you already as a joker!

My reason for coming to the forums was to get help and suggestions from other SN200 owners. It was never the intention to bash anyone or cause any trouble other then find a solution to my problem. I have been delt a solution and it will be taken care of. I can only hope that the next time you buy your new SN200, you have a problem with it and when you post on here looking for help, some wingnut tells you to go buy a different brand!

   At least on the PN thread this appears to be true.Your initial post here was a little vague,almost like you were intending on grabbing everyones ear to see what the reaction would be. FWIW, I haven't even seen close to what I would consider "bashing Nautique" from the O.P.
   Actman, you have to understand that there are people on here who have deep ties to the factory. That doesn't make them wingnuts, they just see it from the "other" side.
   And +1 for Bruce. If people cannot have an open discussion without being policed because they are displeased, than there is absolutely no sense in having a "forum". As long as there are no personal attacks I think it's healthy and maybe everyone will learn at least a little something in the end.

I'd love to take you up on that. How about St john River Run March 25-27th/11. Since your boat will be wintering in Florida you could fly down and check it out on the river run and meet up with some of the good guys from this site. I'd love to join you since we will still be down there doing a little golfing. If your boat is still noisey you could allow the Dr or jody to diagnose it, repair it and have it back to Canada for the 24th of May. This could be the "other side of the story" that seems to be missing.

boat dr wrote: h20, the invite is open to all that wish to share in a week end of Boating Bliss.I bring a good assortment of parts and enough tools to do most repairs. But I am not for hire during that event,I do it because I want to. Do not drag me nor CCF into this one sided fiasco.I have been involved with warranty claims and also with mediation disputes. As the tension grows, offers to remedy the problem shrink. If you scream loud enough,corporate turn up their volume to the same level.End result is CC 1 consumer 0. This will work out , but with no help nor comment from the Boat dr.See ya in March in Astor, but if you come with a grudge or on a tare towards CC, please do not spoil mine nor anyone elses fun while there......

Boat Dr- I don't think anyone reading this believes for a moment that there will be a noisey 200 at the StJohns run or that Actman, if he even remotely did consider attending, would be part of anything more than a chance to ski a few sets.
   However, My son who is at A&M is hopeful of bringing the '70 Mustang across to Florida for that weekend to experience the CC brethren and their boats, freeload a bit off his dad and allow us to tow the Mustang home to Canada since he will graduate this spring. We have also considered the possibility of seeing our first new Nautique being built- how cool would that be!
Sorry if I got your back up and I can assure you we are looking forward to meeting you and seeing your toys.

A lot of people do get their dander up occasionally on this site.
When all is said and done it usually is resolved peacefully.

There are a lot of class acts that participate on this site
