Can't afford the custom hull and college tuition? White people problems for sure!
@js/sj, sorry you feel you got ripped off, when I was working and going to school at the same time, I bought cheaper skis so I could stay on the water and work towards a valuable future at the same time. You can often have what you want in life, its just the quality and quantity that varies based on income... After you have matured as a jetski community member, you will understand that you won't be riding to the hilt every season every weekend every day... There are times that injury, income and ski problems will keep you off the water, but it won't be forever.
I can't see this thread gaining much traction in the real world, people who are serious about filing lawsuits don't start out on the forums, they talk to a lawyer. I also guarantee the lawyer says shut you mouth about what you plan to do, an just do it... We aren't going to see a wave of people coming out of the woodwork on this thread quoting number and listing parts, it hasn't happened on any of the other threads, why would this be different?
To everyone who buys a hull, use Paypal to work to your advantage... make a down payment (a small percentage) and final payment when the hull is received.
Anything outside of 45 days with Paypal and they will just say "sorry for your loss". And they will encourage you to call your bank, who will say "sorry for your loss" too, unless its a CC company, and they usually only have a 60 day window, which is still way too short of a time frame to get your money back if you don't get your hull.

I remember now that was posted about 2 years ago before things really got going with the Chan. I have no other facts to add to the situation but it does reinforce the idea of looking in to who you are doing business with

Strength in numbers, thats what this forum can do. This thread is about who got scammed. Not how long it took to get something and once u got it was junk or anything of that sort. Who got scammed. Im sure this steve dude is worried now and pretending to make right. In the end if y'all go for it together at least you'll stop others from getting screwed. Shut it down!!!! And then get back to doing what you love. There is probably a lawyer that jetskis on here that would hook a brother up.
LOL...just read a tiny bit of that....I wonder who the "outer" was...lol

Well... I was hoping it wouldn't come to this. I sent steve a $500 down payment back in september to lock in a special price until i got my tax return. I was really excited to get one of these hulls until one of my friends paid steve in full for one and he was told it was being shipped and to expect a call from the truck driver within the next week. Well two weeks went by and my friend never recieved his hull and his phone calls were being ignored. Luckily for him, he was still in the range to get his money back from paypal. Shortly after his experience, i seen the X blow up with a ton of negative reviews about steve. Before i sent steve anymore money, i decided to opt out of the whole thing and take a refund. Me being a nice guy, i didn't want to address the real reason to steve, so i just told him i was shorted on my taxes and he agreed to send me my $500 refund. Its been nearly half of a year now and steve just failed AGAIN to send me my money. Im beyond sick of the lies and i NEED my damn money! I noticed everyone is having problems with inboxes being full, so feel free to email me your name and how much your out at AWolf3145@gmail.com - Sorry steve, but I've been far to nice and far to patient about this whole thing. You've mistaken my kindness as my weakness. I will do whatever it takes to get our money back. Get them emails comming everyone! Don't be afraid to speak up! He'll never send you your money under his own will anyway.

Hmmm. Let's play a little Photo Hunt on Mr. Ortega's Instagram page.
(Hint: the orange X-Metal pole I still have not received)
Photo dated July 2, 2014. Let's see how long it is until it gets deleted.

the reason sooooooo many people got ripped off and will continue to get ripped off is simply this:
no one has done anything to him. no one has contacted an attorney, showed up to his house, etc
heck he even had that buzzard dude thinking "duuh maybe he's tellin the truth. not sure.."
no offense buzzard. you've been around the block a few times from the posts ive seen. thats why your post surpised me after you spoke with him.
