The clamp screws for mounting motor to boat transom are missing. I'm surprised this wasn't caught during the inspection.

Thank you, Don, for the review. We are happy to hear you got the part you needed so quickly.
The company was very helpful and very professional with their installation, but when I called and I emailed about a gauge that was not working when I got the boat on the water I never got to return phone call and that was disappointing cuz they were very professional

The buying and support experience was exceptional. The delivery was good until they left a 200 lb pallet in my driveway. The boat is only 9 ft long and 100 lbs. I expected them to take the pallet back with them, but was surprised when it was left behind and I had to dispose of it - which is challenging for such a huge hunk of wood.

Retail on website was higher than invoice, which made the sale look better. Still a fair deal and timely processing of order and shipping.
