Pick up the Boat

We had scheduled our orientation to pick up the new boat at 4:00pm on friday the 11th .

We had arranged to get off work early and be out of town by 5:00pm.

We arrived on time for orientation and needless to say it did not go well.

We had to wait about 20 minutes before it started the guy appoligised about 4 times for being late. Then he started the orientation but kept answering his cell phone . Turn the bleeping thing off already.

During orientation we examined diferent parts of the boat. He showed us the water supply and i asked what the hose was that was not attached to anything? He picked up the water tank which is under one of the seats, it has a motor on top of it to pump the water to the sink. He then proceeded to tell me that that hose was if you wanted to pump water from the lake you just connected it to the pump which had nothing connected to it. So i then asked him how does water get from the tank to the sink as obviosly it was not attached to anything. He looked at me and went oh it goes through the hose on the other end of the tank. I thought this must be magic as their was no hose on the other end of the tank as he had just picked it up and it was not connected to anything. He then looks at me and says oh maybe i was wrong about the water from the lake I guess they have not hooked it up yet .

Ok I am not a boat salesman nor am I someone who works in a boat dealership I am not a plumber nor do I have any experience in any area of pontoon boats. so why do I have to tell this moron that something is not hooked up.

I rest my case customer service is completely in the toilet. We have such a lack of skilled labour and/or people who actually want to be a productive part of society . The avergage person these does not give a shit about anything. don't even mention governmnet employees or the famous SERVICE CANADA department of the federal government.

Anyway we finished orientation by 6:00pm. 1 hour late.


Now we are off to the lake (after picking up big bitch)

Our plan is tomorrow morning go to Wakaw pick up Boat Lift come back put dock in then put lift in then put boat in water and be done by Dinner time.

Well lets just say we finished about 9:30 pm and the boat was still on the trailer.

Sunday we launched boat took it for a few spins took Mom for a ride for Mothers day then had a barbeque .

We then took a bottle of wine and had a nice ride on the boat before we had to go home. more pics will follow
