Default Yard Didn't Finish on Time!

I had some things done to my boat, a few things installed, a few things fixed and all was supposed to be done today!

Yeah, RIGHT!

After a two hour drive to get the thing I get there and not only is the work incomplete, the boat is horribly filthy, black boot scuff marks on everything and what has been done wasn't done right! After hanging around the place for several hours I'm finally given yet another due date! So now I have boxes of electronics to install and no boat to stick them in, a weekend's plans are blown, I'm leaving for a fishing trip (possibly without a boat).

Now I KNOW this has never happened to anyone else!

ARGHHHHH!!!

Richard, may I suggest you call first before you make the drive! Now that you've been pushed back, tell them you'll call*mid-week for a progress report. Most if not all yards are in hyper-mode now and things happen....many bad. Not knowing the reputation of this yard, I would give them*at least the*chance to make up for it and hopefully things will be squared away by next week. Good luck!*

Call them? Hmmmm, YA' THINK?!?!?!

I did call. I was told it would be ready prior to closing. Makes it even more aggravating.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean everyone isn't out to get you....

LOL! So true, cgrand! At least our good friend and THT Sponsor, (i.e. Jim) at Byowner electronics (http://www.byownergroup.com/), has really bent over backwards to help out on getting some stuff in and correct some shipping problems so I could them it on the boat this weekend...IF IT WERE HERE! LOLOLOL. really, though, thanks Jim! You are definately part of the solution against one hell of a week!
