About 8 minutes after I buy one, then the tanking will begin.
I have no clue what this is about?? Also, what do Illegals have to do with this?? :confused:
I fat fingered the phone this is where I was quoting from..

Live life now guys if you sit on the sideline waiting for the apocalypse to happen tour missing good times. Just sayin
You could get killed 8 minutes from now so with that thought process maybe stay home to be safe. [emoji6]

If you saw the list of toys I already own you would realize there's no need to worry about me.
I do agree with the sentiment though.

There's a lot of profit margin in 200K Poontoons when you start doing the math. I can't for the life of me know why you would pick a pontoon over say a Howard 288 or Nordic Deckboat? There is really no comparison in quality! The resale value 10-15 years down the road from now is where it will really cost you!!!
Yah about 50K profit in a 200K pontoon sale

I walked around Steve (Sue) Cheetah @ Cactus last Friday.Steve had just set her down in the parking lot.That Cheetah was the finest boat parked @ Cactus,outside or in the showroom.Well Done Steve,incredible program you must have keeping a boat in that condition.
We just ceramic coated it a couple of months ago. . .

I'll ask again, why the hard-on for Cactus Marine?? So your rep has a crystal ball that tells him how many Godfreys they've sold?? Come on dude, competition is good.

He gets a print out that shows what has been delivered in his zone no need for a crystal ball I don’t have a hard on for them but I do for people that bullshit in my same industry.

Well then, you must have a constant hard-on because after being in the industry for 41 years, there's a bunch of bullshiters in it!!

Because you can have it today and not wait.

Resale and boats are mutually exclusive terms anyway.

Dan doesn't know shit cause that printout is not current and it never reflects correctly. Tell him stuff that report where the sun doesn't shine. Haters gonna hate.

That Cactus store sells more in one month than Jim orders for the whole year from Southbay. They sold more at the LA Boat Show than Jr's sells in a year ask Dan he will tell you. [emoji23]

Since you like numbers so much Cactus Rv sells volume and has a skinny margin, unlike Jr motors and other small time dealers that have to make huge margins. JR Motors is on average 15k profit margin that's what they gotta make to keep a floating down the river. Wanna get laid away and be buried in a boat buy from them.

Most likely
When you give out name and number for someone in warranty department it's pretty much a given
Phoenix location
https://www.cactusrvcenter.com/map-hours-directions-boats-motorhomes-trailers-dealership--locations
First sign of a bubble toon burst you'll see a volumn dealer shut down when they can't keep the lights on in a big showroom
I don't think they even do any service work
Funny how it's ok to slam another dealer though
You are low IQ individual. You think Mercury, Yamaha, Honda, Evinrude, Berkshire, Godfrey, Sylvan, Rinker Hurricane, would allow a store to be a dealer without service area. Boy you keep showing how sharp you are.. Maybe you should stay off the keyboard cause your ignorance is really shinning strong. You couldn't pay there Electric bill I bet. The inside of that place is 25,000 Sqft try and cool it down in the summer. Lmao.

My point exactly. How can they cool that place down when the bubble bursts?
This is how you treat your customer's $60k+ toons
Just drop them on the ground like an empty beer can
No carpet or blocks, nothing

Ive been to cocktus rv in havasu i think 3 times. Once looking at toon. Once rv for me. Once with my sister.
Ever time i wonder why i went. The boats on the asphalt just bother me. Plus the sales guys had no idea about the products.

Now......i have been to JR. One guy in particular know his shit there. Id buy at JR, i wont at cactus.

Also, the complete shit talk from this warlock guy will guarantee i will never set foot on that mall lot to look at a boat or rv.

Dude, back off the energy drinks. The attitude is not real welcome here. If its your business or someone you know your not helping sales

One other thing...i bought at got water. The deal was solid. Price was fair. After relationship is exactly what i want. Low volume, quality service.
If cactus is high volume and cheaper so what. Boat ownership is long term

Sorry my mistake. Using my phone a d not paying attention since this is all just for fun right.

When it bursts maybe just lay low and enjoy life. Life not about Money. So who cares anyhow. I'm living my dream and it's all good. WINNERS WIN.
#WINNING

Either soar with the Eagles or cluck with the Chickens it's your choice. Cluck cluck haha

Beer is good no doubt. Im not judging anyone. I still wont buy from cactus though. Not because of a internet conversation, i seriously had zero luck with sales guys there. They just didnt know the product.
Im shopping now, taking my time to make a 15 year rv purchase

You know its about the product not some sales person that doesn't know his shit. I pretty much know what it is I want and have already done all my homework so a sales guy doesn't matter to me. And when it comes to getting work done I fix it myself. Cheers

My 11 year old I/O toon is the first boat in 25 years of owning boats I could sell for more than I paid for it every year I've owned it (8).

Crazy

You just described almost every used boat sold in the last 12 years..

Inventory is dried up and used is going for crazy prices!

My last two 21’ Ultras didn’t keep up the value my toon has, but I hear you, the nee boat prices have driven demand on the used market.
