[Rhodes22-list] Help SOS

Tue Oct 6 23:10:30 EDT 2009

Alice,

It is 11PM and I am at the office - I should be at the show - I have been up
since 2AM and will take off for Annapolis as soon as I get a few hours
sleep.   Because the economy is so deadly we have taken twice the space at
this do or die show and dragged not one but three boats up to MD.   We will
work our asses off for the 5 show days in an effort to save the business.
It took us three days to get the boats into the show.  On the 5th day of the
show they give us three hours to get all three boats out of the show at 5 PM
to make room for the incoming motor boats for the motor boat show - not
quite sure how we will manage that yet.

I empathize but physically and economically can't do a dam thing about your
boat right now.  As it was, we stopped working on the show boats to re-build 
and get your
motor trolley back to you as fast as we did.   You say the motor will not go 
all the way down
because it gets stuck.  Does this mean the strap was let out to the point 
where it then
had slack in it so you know the trolley was not being stopped by the strap,
therefore verifying that something else is stopping the trolley from moving 
down any further ?

I have owned endless cars in my day.  Whenever I had a car problem I had
to get it back to the dealer and then had to pay for every washer and every 
step labor took
even if their repair work was not successful - apparently just like you are 
paying for someone
who has not solved your problem.   We have not taken this business approach 
with our owners
but owners have to pay a time price for that kind of unconventional service.

Bring the boat to us and we will solve the problem at no charge.

If you want us to come to the boat you will have to wait until we can find a
minute and gas money or, alternately, have Lee look at it and call me when
he is at your boat to see if he can explain to me why the trolley only goes
part way down the track and then stops.  Or have the guy you are paying, 
call me.

Right now I've got to give my old bones a rest, get to the show and sell 
boats and then somehow get them
all back to NC simultaneously, instantaneously.
