Springwood Marine

[Katcaddy]

Hi Guys, i thought i would give you an update before the rumor mongers get out of control, we have closed our Gold Coast Four Winns Store, with the state of the economy and the low Aussie dollar it is not viable to bring boats in from the US at the moment so we have decided to focus more on our Aussie built boats Signature and Quintrex at our Springwood Store which is probably what we should have been doing anyway. We would appreciate your support in this very trying time, i am sure you all have seen how tough it is out there with businesses closing down all over the place so it is extremly important that you support the locals. Let me know if we can be of any help with any of your boating needs

Rumour mongers being anyone with an opinion other than yours I presume Gary..?...if it comes from you then it is to be trusted, but not from anyone else. Thats how your sanctimonious advertisment reads to me. So the people who alerted members to the imminent closure of several boat yards during 2008 (in one case allowing my neighbour to retrieve his $30,000 boat from consignment just before the gates were locked) were "rumour mongers".....we think they were great and thanks to them. Have a happy christmas Gary.

Good on you gary for telling us. The rumour mill can certainly get out of control. I know springwood marine has always supported ausfishers.

Id like to apolagise for the rabble that jump the gun without facts, and cause dealers problems. theres nothing more dangerous than a well meaning boaty with one hand on a beer, and the other on a keyboard.

I know of 2 dealers that have received personal injury threats over the phone in relation to ausfish posts a few years ago. In both cases the dealers were in the right, but hadnt put their point of view across on aufish. It made me ashamed of my ausfish stickers on my boat. Its not good enough.

Good luck with your new business direction.

I find it hard to believe in this day and age (not saying your lying obviously), today grimace out a car window and you are a road rage-er, ring up unsolicited and you are a stalker, take a photo in a family place and you are a ...... the amount of times I have heard the 'threat line' used or related as leverage, well I wish I had a dollar, it's simply too easy today under a society that doesn't give a crap about anything but the money and one-upmanship within a lack of personal quality so acceptably displayed.

IMO what you wrote above is not really something most would put over in broad conversation as opposed to who it was probably aimed at.... expressly private conversation and all that entails.

Yes it was indeed a bit harsh, I react poorly to people who try to control the agenda or silence commentary. I thought the guy who originally said he had heard Springwood was closing was bullied when all that was required was a polite explanation that it was in fact "not the case". He was entitled to a presumption of good faith in my view.
However I was rude to Gary earlier and I apologise.

I do not make a habit of flying flags for businesses but i would like every body know that gary has been a great help sponsering tournaments including one this year that i know of .
Donating some great prizes that go to fisho`s , tournaments do not run without sponsers and i for one have thanked him this year with the purchase of a new outboard .
I would encourage everyone to support a business that supports our sport not just sells the stuff .
One good turn deserves another doesnt it ?

Thats my say

But wasn't that a 4 stroke M/S....
I'd actually be calling that purchase a charitable donation and you really should feel good about it......
