On the up-side... a completely new top cap, for all intent, does make it a new boat. Everything you touch, see, feel, all that's new. Sure... the hull has a few trips to the lake. And ended up being towed in more times than it ran on it's own. And quite honestly..... had Triton stepped up and just replaced it *OR* taken up the OP on his offer to *BUY* a new boat, (
and credit his original purchase) I think, in the long run... it would have cost them
quite a bit less. Jus' sayin'...….
What
I DON'T GET is why there wasn't at least an offer of an extended warranty on the motor. The idea of a motor that NEVER ran correctly, was diagnosed as TRITON's problem, IMO, *
SHOULD* have ended up with a new motor. So yeah... at the very least, give the man a extended warranty on it. It's CERTAINLY not Mercurys' fault! (
Yet they're going to have to still cover it, regardless.) SMH
Oh well, guess we'll find out once it FINALLY gets back into the OP's hands. Still doesn't make it suck any less.
