Re: Are Tahoe boats a good option?
I think some people have been a little quick to bash Tahoe, Tracker, BPS, and anyting else affiliated with Tahoe boats. I have read all the threads...multiple times. It's quite a bad situation for that owner and I don't envy him in any way. I also know that if I were in Tahoe/Tracker's position and someone was asking me for $30K in refunds or a new boat. I would most certainly take the time to determine exactly what happened before I agreed to anything. Is this a real problem? Yes. Is it possible that this is a manufacturing defect? Yes. Does that instantly taint the entire brand? No. Every manufacturer out there, has produced at least one lemon. I seriously doubt, Sea Ray, or Regal, or any other manufacturer would quickly pony up some cash as soon as someone produced a banged up boat.
I have done hours and hours of research on boats over the past month. Everything from studying engine tests, 3rd party reviews, owner reviews, maintenence reports, rand eading this forum. I am placing an order for a 2008 Tahoe Q7i this week. Is there a possibility that there will be some problems with the boat? Of course...but if I only purchased products that were flawless and never had a registered complaint, I would own exactly nothing.
