There was another thread about Directboats.com in another forum on this website. I will start it back up here where it belongs. Although they carry several, the brand I ordered from the company is Bassmaster, the model is a Bass Baby. I have not received my boat yet, however I FINALLY have a tracking number. I was to be called back several times by the company, but never was. They didn't even return a call about shipping costs, when I was inquiring and I hadn't even purchased it yet, I was just curious! (I should have seen the red flag)
I ordered on the 13th and it shipped on the 22nd. However, they must have crappy communication with the factory, because when I finally got a tracking number and the name of the carrier, the boat had already went to 2 cities and is now in transit to the next terminal. That was the 26th. So for 5 days, they couldn't tell me where my boat was or even if it had been shipped. Also they said they shipped the oar brackets and oar locks separate from the boat. No tracking number. I did more research and found out that there are other places to buy my boat. Some dealerships exist as well. I WILL say that the reviews on this boat are outstanding. Out of about 20 reviews, only one person had a bad one, but after reading his post, I think he was a bit rough on the product. I believe the quality of the boat will be great, I just went through the wrong distributor. In conclusion, I haven't found anything good about this company posted on the internet, except testimonials on their website. All I have found are complaints.
