I really do not like Negative Feedback threads but at this point I dont have any more option. I have given Bill so many opportunities to try and make this right. I sent him this gun so he could finish up a Polaris Octane based hull build for guy in texas, cannot remember his name now! Bill said he would take care of me, I asked if he was making ride plates, if so send me one and we would call it even. He said sure. Well, you can read and make up your mind yourself. I have bent over backwards for Bill on this one. Looks like I am the one that got bent over.

Hey, I went back and checked all my PM's, never saw where you requested my address. May have deleted it, I have what I thought was all of them from and to you. So, we can chaulk this up as miscommunication from a few months back.

But on the 16th you PM'd me the above quote, I responded either that day or the next when I got it. 2 weeks later I still dont have any thing.

I honestly sent you that gun to help you out, I actually thought you were a stand up guy, Paul had spoken highly of you. I could have just not done anything, no offer to help. I have seen several post by people that were negative towards you. I have even tried to defend you some. I have told you "No Hurry" on the plates or the gun. But you know, everytime I take that approach I usually end up getting screwed over. I guess this is just another case of it. And I wonder why I have lost faith in our "Community". 2 years ago I would have just about done anything for anybody on here. Still will for some that I can TRUST,

Imagine this, tomorrow will be a month since this PM from you. You stated that you would have them out by the end of next week. End of next week is 3 weeks ago. Why dont you just paypal me $75.00 for the gun and we call it even and you keep the gun.

Bill, why dont you just paypal me $75.00 (send as gift) and we can just call it even. No hard feelings.

I have copies of every PM I personally do not like feedback threads. I feel that I have bent over backwards on this. But this is rediculous. Your call. I dont think at this point that you care about your reputation on the site. That is your business. It is up to you, you can make it right by me or not. I would like to believe you are the type of person who does right by others.

I'm sure this thread will boot Bill in the ass to get goin. But I just wanted to let others know not to judge Bill by this post. He is really an awesome guy who goes out of his way to help others and is truley an innovator in the sport. I just hope Bill doesn't get to frustrated with the sport because he has so many great ideas and products to bring to the industry.

He'll get you the rideplates I'm sure Harrison, just stay on his ass about it. lol

True to his word, Goose sent me my gun back along with this quality ride plate. I look forward to trying to install this plate.

A little update is due. I was going to send this plate to Pengiun so he could have someone try it out at daytona. Since it came with no holes drilled for the mounting bolts I went out to the shop last night (20 degree weather) to drill the holes. Well, I laid my wammer plate over it to determine where the holes need to be. Something looked funny. So, I took the plate to my ski and proceded to place it where it is suppose to go. Guess what, the plate is about 1/4" to wide. So not only is the plate rough as hell, it is also much to large. To make this plate work, time will have to be spent cutting it down to fit. In the process of looking at it to see how much to cut off I notices that the bottom of which Bill gelcoated is already delaminating.

May take some more pictures of this part of it. Wonder if a table saw will work to make the cuts!
