You go snooping around, out of curiosity, you find out a couple of things. you boat is worth more then you paid for it. and at that its a good chunk. and you learn not to talk to salesman.
Here she is my dream boat 2012 mastercraft x-25.

Well let me fill you in on the adventure. Boat town gave me a firm ware update that crashed and bricked the touch screen. had to call up to DFW texas master craft. they said its a common call they get from south texas that boat town has done this. then boat town also told me the screen have 30% failure rate and they will gladly charge me 3500 to put in the new one. talking with the guys in DFW they put me on a conference call with the factory. the factory okayed getting me an overnight of new software. that will be tomorrow. man this is after boat town wouldn't let me look at there boats. apparently a trade in is not what they do, so obviously its a waste of time to show me the 3 boats they had for sale. but its all for not i got a 12 with less hours for less money then they were selling. but i pulled the fuse on the touchscreen today and the boat defaults back to the analog controls and works very well. any one gonna be out saturday? love to show off the new ride!

Glad to see buying a new boat is as fun as buying a new car.
Hope you get it all sorted.

yeah its not been the most fun with dealing with them. there is also rumor that they are not going to be carrying master craft any longer but no rumor on who the new dealer will be. but having a dealer 250 miles away is tough, tige is really trying to get me into one of there boats. but i don't know enough about them. but i would like to be back to a indmar or PCM this ilmore is a little nerve racking.

Hey livesound, a buddy of mine has a x-2 that he ordered from Mastercraft through boat town. He was not happy with them after a few little issues, so he started to go Texas ski ranch in New Braunfels. You could check them out. They are a little closer than Dallas.

it could be worse, the closest Nordic dealer is in Arizona I think (manufacturers) but Bob Lloyd used to be one, so that helps.
Funny how "snooping" around got you into this. I almost landed in the situation, thank goodness I am not baller enough to get a 90k boat loan right now.

Yes TSR was the place that did any dealer servicing if i needed it. they used to pick up my boat for 75 bucks and take it there and service it. then bring it back. the guy at texas MC has been so helpful that i feel i should take it there. and its next to our DFW shop so i can go there and boss pays for gas! i don't know if i have a little buyers remorse, but i miss my old boat. it was quicker, better hole shot and a better wake board wake. and i only sent it to the dealer 2 times and 5 star 2 times the rest i was able to do myself. i don't know yet lol.
