O5 SANTE disappointment

[robin]

First of all i do work my tail off to get one of the best boats around, also if you check out the photo of my boat you will see the result. I am also not 17, far from it i have sacrificed a lot to get my boat, why i feel the need to tell you this i'm not sure, i guess it comes from the fact that you don't know anything about me or how i got to where i got and how long it took.

For me to fund an 05 i had to sell my 04 before i had seen any of the new changes as i had an offer i couldn't refuse. And i wanted to set my 05 up the same as the 04 but hoping there would be some nice new additions to make it look sweeter. I also spent quite a lot of time(and money) figuring out which works well with the look and i think i have found it.

Trying to create that look now with my 05 is the reason for my disappointment (i will try not to get too emotional over my pride and joy ever again on here if it offends) and this was after i had placed the order on the factory. If i had known that the factory would take this line i would never have sold the 04. Yes i am a d u m b a s s !!

I don't know what CC is doing with the colors the last couple of years. It isn't possible to get the deck colored anymore, some cool colors disappears from the option list... Not really customer supported I think.
But I think it shouldn't be a problem to swap a 04 tower with someone who likes the 05 better. I'm pretty convinced that the holes are on the same spot.

Enjoy the ride!

Laptom, the only color that I think was dropped was the wineberry just b/c it wasn't selling... or so I think... and the only reason why the decks aren't colored is because the "paint" company wouldn't stand behind the 5 yr waranty and customers were complaining about it fading when it really was just oxidattion.

I'm with you Robin. You don't need to defend yourself.

I'd call the factory direct. It might help.

Unfortunately the factory have informed the European office of which they have informed me.
With the color thing i did speak to someone at the factory who told me that they stopped Hunter because there was no call for it and it didn't sell.

Thanks to all for your advice

Sorry to all I have offended with any comment I have made in this post and no I do not ride behind my parent's boat. I am 24 years old and bust my *** to afford my 95' SS Nautique. It offends me when anyone says they are disappointed with any type of SAN. Regardless of how hard anyone works, if you make enough money to afford a brand new boat every year you should consider yourself lucky. Many people in the world work very hard and could never ever afford a SAN. I have dreamed of riding behind one for years and to hear that someone is disappointed with correct craft and their boats over something as trivial as tower and color options upsets me. Once again just my opinion on the subject, that is all I have to say and if I upset any of you guys with those comments my apologies.

sperbet,
also consider that people such as yourself and robin are the people paying for the product. All companies need to make sure that they are producing what the consumer wants (not saying they are or aren't).

I can fully understand how someone that spends $60K on a boat might communicate some disappointment with a few options. Especially on this type of a forum.....if you think about it....he is still buying the boat. And from the sounds of it...plans on buying one in 2006. I think that the main communication is that robin finds CC the best boat of choice...even with a few bummer options.

I also don't think luck or hard work has anything to do with it....it's freakin $60K....that's a ton of money to not get exactly what you want.....I mean...really.....$60K....good God that's a bunch o'money...I would sure work hard to get what I want...

Rumor is that there will be a big change in the 06 models.... but we just picked up our 05

Monkey, polished tower looks cool, needs some toys hanging off it.

[robin]

Damm that boat IS looking good !!,

and yes i received a phone call that kind of said the same thing about 06. Dealer conference in November so wonder if that sheds any more light.

[AbunDiga909]

I don't think they would wanna talk about 06 sales as trying not to detract from 05 sales already...

[SGY]

I expect big things in 06. Guess my son will have to go to Metro State college.

Monkey that is a awesome looking boat but it does need some kind of toys. By the way what type of bimini top is that?

[imported_pjdave]

Dont really want to hijack the thread, But yeah there are Cans for the tower, and yet another big install to do. We were just keen to get the thing water tested and run the engine in so we can load her up and board.
The binimini is a factory cc item, only problem is that we got one to suit the 04 tower, so we just cut down some of the rods and made it look how we wanted, took a few hours but we are happy with it. ohh by the way the polished tower is sweet, looks better in real life.
