I'm sure you have amazing sources hahaha, what does the motor changing a few months in have to do with any of the stuff that happened?
You don't have a dog in this fight, so why chime in?
Did bobby sign a contract for the hull? Yes
Does bobby owe him money in penalties? Yes
Does bobby still have some of his parts? Yes
Did bobby have all the parts long before the hull was complete? Yes
Did bobby keep telling him his hull would be done in a week for months on end? Yes
If some forum members didn't grab the hull and parts from bobby when would he have gotten his ski?
I see one person trying to drag someone else down on this site, That causes my dog to get in this fight. Any time someone ask about Trinity, you are always jumping in spouting your BS. Instead of spouting off. Politely say, "Do some research or PM the guy". Instead you jump in here and start spouting off.
Funny, I never mentioned anything about a motor... But if said buyer could not decide on the motor. Why would Bobby spend his time laying up the hull and then wait 6 months for the motor to finally be decided on. That is labor that he would have spent just to have something take up space. Personally, I would not start until I had every single piece of the puzzle in my hands. That way there is zero down time, and I could focus on getting hulls built and shipped that I can collect on immediately, not in 6 months once joe blow decides what he wants.
As for your other comments. Why didn't his buddies pick up the rest of the parts that were there??? If there are still parts at Bobby's they should have grabbed them also. If Bobby owes him some money he should refund said money if they are rightly owed.
I dont doubt that Bobby did not come through with his obligations on this build. There is no question in that. But nor do I believe that he is 100% at fault either. In that same time he was able to produce and deliver several hulls. Why? Who knows, maybe because those people provided what they were suppose to or did not make changes that caused delays in meeting the schedule.
As others said, Bobby needs to stay out of doing Turn Key builds. Once he does deliver there are plenty that agree the quality is there. Now, would I buy from him? Not if I wanted a hull in a timely fashion. I would have to have not a care in the world on when I got it....
