Hey Justin, if I were you I would get in my truck and go get your boat. I didnt want to make waves with you and those guys so I told some guy named Danny that I wanted to get my interior done in a boat kind of like the green one sitting back there (outside in the back). I walked up and thought WTF????????? I asked what type of interior he was doing for the Schiada and he danced around and didnt want anything to do with me seeing it. So I asked how long to do my interior? He told me 3500 bucks and 2-4 weeks, yea ok. I asked for a business card, no dice, their getting made or something like that. He said bring on down and they'll get right on it.:wink: Sorry but you're not going to like these pictures my friend.

Im thinking not much has been done to your boat and if thats your green cover in front of it then that hasnt been on there for a while by looking at the pictures. Sorry to be the one to show you but you need to look elsewhere for a interior, reguardless of what they say when you get ahold of them. Let me know if you want me to drag it out of there, im sure I could find a few friends to go down there with me to pick it up and take it to my house. Let me know.

I am sick to my stomach. I was told D&S took a long time, not that they will let your boat rot in the weather. I am going to get it out of there immediately.

I honestly dont know what to say, but I would be taking some buddies with me to help calm me down if that was my boat.
D&S is done after this thread is seen by more people.
Holy $hit. I am pissed looking at those pics.

Damn that really bites the big one. How can people be so ruthless and disrespectfull of other peoples stuff like that. I would be getting it out of there like right now. I'm sorry to see this but I would take alittle more action for there lack of ****ed business. I know they are the last on everyone list if they even made the list. shit after seeing what they did to your boat I will even go with you. make sure they know we all know how they suck. they will be going out of business after this I hope.:mad: :mad: :mad:

FJ, lets just do this on Monday. Will you be around? I would accept your offer and ask you to drag it out of there, but I am not sure if it's better that I go, of better if I don't. I have an anger problem. Maybe I should let you do it.

rivercrazy
03-26-2004, 03:41 PM
Sorry again Justin about this. Just remember if you handle it right, you might just get something out of the deal besides a dirty unfinished boat.
Work this situation with D&S. You might be surprised what you can negotiate at this point.......

I just want people to now that we use them for interiors however, they are not part of Ultra. Here at Ultra we treat other peoples property at least as good as we treat our own property. Thats just good business.

Oops - didn't see page two - glad to hear it was picke up! What a great business decision from D&S!
I just had my boat completely reuphlstered from the ground up and they took 2 weeks and kept it inside the entire time. Did a great job. Campbell Boats in LHC still does GREAT frigging work....

It would be REALLY great if Ultra made a statement by boycotting D&S. Ultra could apply a corporate code of ethics for it's vendors, and D&S wouldn't have to push the non-Ultra work to the back because they are too busy.

That's bullshit ! There's probably a few attorney's offices between your house and D&S. It would be wise to stop by one and get the process started ! Then when you get to D&S, just be cool and handle it "Soprano's style" !

Jordy
03-26-2004, 10:10 PM
You know, I do recognize that boat and it never, I repeat never looked that bad in the time that I owned it. Thanks for picking her up and taking care of her John. You Ultra guys know what the boat thing is about. **** D&S. I'm glad I'm in AZ because if that was me it wouldn't have be a pretty sight. Hope things work out for you Justin. Give me a call.

Unforuntately this is not the first case I've heard of D&S neglecting something that a customer has left there. In the other case I know of, the person also had a very hard time get through or getting a straight answer about the status their interior. The work also took a LOT longer than quoted.
Especially now, I wouldn't use this shop on a bet now. The condition of that boat is just unbelievable and unexceptable.
As for Ultra, good for them for stepping up and helping. It wasn't something they had to do, but it shows they care. Now they have the huge task of instilling a Customer First attitude in their vendor!

Its a shame to see the boat in that condition. I'm glad someone got out there and helped with the rescue. It almost looks like the damn thing was parked underneath the exhaust chute for the sawdust remover and they were hoping the rain would wash it away. :( I'm not trying to rub anything in, but I built my own frames, designed my own scheme and it was finished for less than $800. Plus I got to keep all the extra material. Someone's making some bank out there, and its definately not paying for storage space. Sorry to see your boat like that.

Backtanner
03-27-2004, 03:42 AM
What's all the fuss about? That is a slick, one of a kind enclosed engine compartment installed there!! Sorry, just trying to light the mood. Hell, my boat's been in outside storage for a year now and still doesn't look that bad.

That was really cool of John and Steve and has earned some serious respect in my book.
78 if you want I can help you build some frames for that thing just buy materials. I built seats for 2 of my roommates each in one night. You do your own resin. I finished refurbishing one set in an hour and a half. I am in Nor Cal this weekend but I can possibly get you taken care of friday night I am assembling my motor sat. Let me know we can work something out. Just sit back and drink a few beers and do a little sanding and assembly it is really easy. the garage has cable and a refrigerator.

Here is a view from the back. I wasn't done with the middle yet. The theory there is to put a sub in there and make the rear like two buckets but still have tha option of an uncomfortable third seat.

They obviously dont seem to have time to do other cutumers boats.A friend of mine took his boat there was told two weeks no prob but more like 2 months.d&S was hard to get a hold of etc,etc,

It really only affects their revenue if Ultra does something. If they can't turn out a retail job in 6 months, what difference would THAT make to their bottom line?

So D&S in the 909 is one in the same eh? I was curious cuz they did the interior on my new boat, seems quality so far and they had it done in the time promised...it seems they take care of the new stuff before helping out the walk ins(you'd think they'd learn). :rolleyes:
I went and checked on mine while they were on it, I saw no weird shit going on...other than the fact they were working out of their homes because of a fire or something where their shop was.
Its a shame they treated your boat the way they did---no class!

It's a shame how the boat was treated, but i have known Danny and daniel since they worked at Cole boats. they both have always help me out. and thats with any boat i took over. my boat is a 94 cole v drive and the interior is just starting to rip at one seam in the front bow section, all the wood is resined and glass up, and this boat gets 250 min, hrs, a yr on it . so i dont know what happen with these two guys. they know me very well and have all ways done me right, yes some times taken extra 2/3 days but thats it. but no mater if the boat is old or new you should always take the best care of it especially when it's a customers that could bring in more BIS, mabe thats the problem thay dont want to turn away boats, then you neglect outher boats.:(
