Bill Yeargin - PN Interview 2010

[NautiqueJeff]

I have just gotten the word from Bill Yeargin that he would be willing to take part in another PlanetNautique interview, answering questions about Correct Craft that we come up with. As we have done in the past, I'll solicit questions from the members of PlanetNautique, and then compile them and post his answers here.

We have had several successful interviews in the past. If you haven't already read them, you might want to check out the link below. They're an interesting read!

Here my question. Any plans for a budget wakeboard boat? Like taking the old 210 molds and knocking a few hundred boats out for the buying public? I like the new 200, but it's not a dedicated wakeboard boat. I also
love the new style 210, but it's too much for most younger boat buyers.

If the factory is not running at full capacity, go
dust off the old 210 molds and pop a few every now and then. Keep it budget oriented, with just balast tanks and pre wiring for a stereo system. Add one of the old style (or new) towers and sell them. Look at it this way, the r&d is done already, the molds are paid for, if it's just filling dead time in production shifts it's a way to make a few extra bucks and make bidget oriented buyers happy.

You could do this with the new 210 too, but it might cut into the regular trim levels.

Will future 210s and 230s be designed with a similar style to the newer boats (sharper, more angled vs rounded), i.e. the SN200 and Sport 200? Or will they retain their more rounded style? It seems that the latest revisions of the crossovers have made this move. Especially with the 211 being replaced with the new Sport 200.

I don't expect an answer, but it's worth a shot.

Question for Bill, Any move or thought of using the the Pure Vert ballast system in future productions?

[Plave]

I'd love to know if CC have any plans for hybrid or any other alternative means of power?

With $10 a gallon in the UK and much of Europe common for lake fueling the fuel costs are a huge issue.

Second owner Warranties

Question to CC. Does correct craft have any plans to change their warranty policy for second owners? In particular I think it should be a free transferable warranty for the remainder of the warranty period. It should not have to be purchased and should not be 3 separate warranties, one for hull, one for engine, and one for other parts.

[jward]

With the increase in dealer's closing their doors. How does CC plan to maintain their customer service. Its getting harder to find dealerships with mechanics that have knowledge about the boats. It almost feels like a cc owner will be on their own for maintaining and repairing after a purchase.

[CradGen2]

Yes, I'm with JWARD on this. I wrote the samething on SNMIKE's post about meeting with BY.

Agree with this as well. Very sad to see so many boat dealers unable to survive the economy.....

[NautiqueJeff]

Lots of good questions here. Keep them coming!

[Chattwake]

Yeah,

My local dealer is going under. Found out yesterday

[210GA]

TRC is going under?!?
