    Other A lot of new companies, what's up with the undercutting?

    Never once stated to be a "big business man". Once again, I would like to reiterate that I in no way am speaking from a personal stance. Simply business. I am just trying to enlighten a few to the plight of the legitimate dealers who follow the rules set forth by the distributors and...

    Other A lot of new companies, what's up with the undercutting?

    I am speaking on partial speculation here, but no there is nothing that structured in the PWC parts world. There are some exceptions, but I am not at liberty to discuss further. I feel as though I have stuck my neck out enough on this thread, but this entire topic has been a major source of...

    Ray, Yes, every business must start at some poing, and each business starts at different levels. However, the very first step of becoming a retail dealer of watercraft parts, you must meet the pre determined minimum qualifications to be given dealer status from the suppliers/distributors. If...

    Exactly. 100%. Do you think you should be able to call Michelin direct and buy a set tires at dealer cost because you drive a car and like to work on it in your garage? How is that going to affect the tire dealer, who employs individuals both directly and indirectly down the supply chain...

    Other A lot of new companies, what's up with the undercutting?

    Ray, I understand what you are saying completely, but I disagree completely. Being in business is not for everyone. If you cannot afford the commercial space and subsequent expenses and operate the business full time, then you are in violation of the dealer policies set forth by the...

    Thanks Matt. I fully expect some incoming fire from my comments above (although everything I said is merely fact and nothing personal, just business). I have held my tongue on this very subject for some time, at least to the public and people outside the industry but you know what...

    Other A lot of new companies, what's up with the undercutting?

    Great point from the original poster. With that being said, Optima has always and still maintains a full time commercial/retail business establishment, with real overhead and costs. I own and operate the business on a daily basis (I would say 9-5, but it's more like 6am-12am, Mon-Sunday...

    Freestyle 2012 IJSBA National Tour Transport: $600 for Standups/Sport Boats

    I am not sure why the Galveston event has been removed from the 2012 schedule. I know that AJ and the UWP/IJSBA staff puts a great effort into the events and sometimes the circumstances with the scheduling and venues are out of their control. I don't know for sure, but it could be a...
