Herd you guys are turning a shade of Silver at LRM

[L.R.M.]

Yes we have recently added honda to our line up in a effort to try to cater for everyone. jabba thanks for the second chance. cheers corey

[lampuki]

I would recomend them. I have been dealing with Dean and I thought he was great. The owner was good too. My experience when dealing with dealerships is that it is a two way street.

[woodsy76]

there is nothing wrong with them but at the end of the day everyone has a choice to go elseware personly i wont be.woodsy

[Murks]

go and see for yourself, geez fellas each to their own i reckon but any shop has good and bad points...one mishap or poor service doesn't mean that the whole business should be tainted with what is a very small minority of the people that would actually go to this or any business for that matter

[sempre]

Tried to but yet another engine off you guys last week , sales dude was pretty poor , sorry Corry went somewhere else .

All i can say is that its good you now offer a 4 stroke choice, ive been looking at some HH's lately and its so frustrating, ie yep its got an this brand motor on it and thats it! take it or leave it.... sorry to all Etec owners (no offence), I aint buying a boat with an Etec and thats my personal choice and I have a small mind

Fact you only until recently sold Etecs crossed LRM off the list, Its about choice; my 2 cents, i hate the position your put in, ie you like a brand of boat but you have to get it with a motor you dont want or no deal...no option but to move on to the next brand with the motor you want or cast your net wider then you have service issues of travel distance.

Actually would be a good thread topic,, do you buy a boat package because of the boat or engine brand.. or because of the dealer?

great you now offer a choice... the majority don't

Hi Aigutso

The fact is sometimes dealers can't offer a choice as they cannot obtain some brands due to arrangements made between manufacturers and dealers to have there own " catchment area's " with which to draw clientele from.

The reason this dealer in particular could not offer much choice is quite possibly because he has several other dealers located around him within a geographical area already re-selling those brands.

This is a everyday occurrence across many industries including marine,automotive,outdoor power equipment and the list goes on.

If you are a dealer/re-seller of a particular brand and commit to thousands upon thousands of dollars in stock of a particular brand then you want the security of knowing you have your own little " catchment area " of potential customers to sell into.

The fact that LRM added silver ones to there offering could suggest another Honda dealer nearby no longer wishes to carry the brand or not turning over sufficient units to keep Honda happy or dare i say no longer in business.

Hope this goes someways to better understanding why all brands can't be represented by all dealers.

Cheers

mate of mine just bought that motor off them for $2200.00 fitted tohatsu arnt noted for great resale and im pretty sure it wasnt 2006 will check with him tomorrow. Mark p did you buy from overseas if so i did buy some gear from overseas mainly reels but some lures as well it got stopped buy customs and then some one decided it was over the tariff fresh hold and i had to pay duty of $75. what sounder did you get and how much always a bit hesitant to get electonics from overseas as warranty scares me

That doesnt need to happen. Things are stopped by Australia Post acting as legal customs agents. They only stop parcels with a declared value of >$1000 including postage and if the value is over $1000 they send you a notice to pay GST of 10% plus duty which varies but is around 5%. Things with a declared value of under $1000 just get chucked into the Australia Post delivery system...so if you get something grabbed it is your own fault...this is all well publicised online. If you get the seller to make a false value declaration and get caught you both go to jail for 1 million years with no parole ever.

Yeah ordered it through fishon, $790 FCV 620 Furuno

Yeah but not any more...Pat of Fishon shut up shop on oseas mail order when the dollar exchange rate went ballistic. I arranged a 620 for a friend and it came from Pat to his rural SA address in 5 days I think... great service and his was under $1000 delivered with a triducer. Not any more though...the pacific peso bought about .96 USD at the time. Furuno warranty is worldwide but not Lowrance..but who knows now that they are part of Navico along with Navman and Eagle etc...

BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE
The tactics used by this less than integral dealership are disgraceful,
i am so sorry i had anything to do with them, if you new what they really think of their customers and the condescending manner in which they handle customer care you would go no where near them.
Be warned

[twist]

Walk in to any boat yard and tell them you have $1000 in your pocket to place as a deposit and see how they treat you. I find this is pretty effective at getting the service I need.....
