Hmmm. Worth a thought! Even if the outcome may be the same as the parties could have agreed on from the beginning, "having a right" certainly is far from "getting your right". <br /><br />This is where lawyers come in handy!

Re: Brand new boat listing to port!!

im alittle confussed as to why the sud's are paying the attorney fees?????????????<br />-<br />seems to me that should have been included with a new boat or refund.<br />im sure it can atleast be noted either one without violating something.

Re: Brand new boat listing to port!!

What did Chap finally do? Give you a new boat? <br />Just trying to understand of what you mean by "paying the last of the lawyer fees, but it was worth it." How was it worth it? It sounds like you still had personal costs to cough up out of your own pocket. <br /><br />If anyone of us was faced with a similar situation, I still don't know if we could afford what you did.

Did anyone happen to look at Suds profile? Under type of boats we have a 2003 Chap followed by a 2004 Chap! Congrats Suds and have a great boating season in your brand new boat. May it be long and safe.

Excellent for you!<br /><br />All taken into consideration this still leaves Chap with an image of really bad customer service.

Total BS on Sud's part for not letting us know what has happened. <br /><br />I feel sorry we actually showed enough compassion to actually write 300 posts regarding this jerk.<br /><br />WHAT A JOKE!!!

Re: Brand new boat listing to port!!

get over it guys... it's a (prob. resolved) legal<br />issue. if yur lawyer advised u to no longer post<br />here or it effected a court order, u would do the<br />same, right?

Re: Brand new boat listing to port!!

Suds got her new boat. Here profile confirms this. Lawyers on both sides were probably involved. I'm sure Suds had to agree (in writing) to some sort of conditions where she would not disclose the details of the settlement or "bad mouth" Chaparral. This is common practice in "out of court" settlements. <br /><br />I don't understand why so many people have bad feelings about the outcome? Suds got her new boat and probably just wanted this whole nightmare to end. If I was in her shoes I probably would have agreed to a "gag order" as one of the conditions of getting a new boat. I would not violate the agreement either. Most corporations have deep pockets compared to the average person. If Suds violates the agreement, she opens herself up to a lawsuit and additional attorney fees. No, I don't think Chaparral would take the new boat back but file a lawsuit, absolutely. It's no skin off their backs. Who needs that kind of headache? Not me and obviously not Suds.
