Lakerunner I forgot to answer your question about the front of the box. The box is made from 1/8'' aluminum and is very solid. I haven't done any crash testing at this point but I have ran it into the dock pretty good and not a scratch. The front box was designed not to restrict use of the front of the boat and was built strong enough to walk on and sit on. As I've gotten advice from others who have brought it to my attention a skid plate will need to be on the top lids to protect users from a slipery lid and also to protect from heat or burning feet. Thanks for the question

Good luck, I think it will sell.

Oldmin, the only person trying to sell anything was Retractable, in an open forum.

Thanks snider I believe as you do. I already have 9 dealerships on board and 3 of the largest pontoon manufacturers in the country are talking OEM contract. I can't mention their names because it wouldn't be polite buisness. We will be attending the IBEX boat show in Miami in October. Which is the largest buisness to buisness boat show in the world. I believe something like 129 different countries are represented there. Thank You

Ha ha, no such thing at the moment... Maybe Herb could make one on cafepress.com that people could buy and put some extra change in his pocket for all his hard work?

In my opinion badmoon likes being the head jerk on here and he's entitled to his opinion, but why be so obnoxious about it. Flaming some one is hardly acting like a grown up and if you do and get it back maybe you were wrong in the first place. :drama

I actually gave my honest opinion about his product, no flaming at all until he went off on us. Head jerk ? Well if you don't like an honest opinion, then don't read it or stay at PDB, where you used to kiss Brady's ass, especially over Tap Fins. Not everyone has the same opinion you do and being at PDB so long has made you act and think like they do.

Also find it laughable how you call flaming juvenile then you proceed to flame me :tofunny

Actually, no...Tap Fins is another example. Some people liked them, and they probably work well on small lakes for smaller pontoons. Wouldn't do a damn thing for a 32 ft pontoon in typical weather conditions on the Chesapeake. Too bad Malcom was an illiterate, abusive jerkoff. He was his own worst enemy.

Now take Clint and his products, nice guy, excellent product. Some people at PDB and here asked questions and he answered them without name calling. I'd buy his products over and over.

Even with retractable's apology, sincere or not was completely uncalled for what he posted. Not someone I'm going to hand 3K to. Maybe he should delegate marketing to someone who can handing dealing with honest opinions without abusing potential customers.

I'm comparing you to the inventer of Tap Fins, Malcom Sohm of Conrad Marine. This guy did the same stuff you did by coming in, advertising his product and then flaming everyone who asked questions about installation, warranty, etc. One or 2 people had them on their pontoon and oldmn19 was one of them. Ever since, he's had issues with me. Go figure.

Not only did he have horrible grammar and spelling, but he also would sign up as different Disney characters and try to talk up his tap fins! It was pretty pathetic and transparent! :punchballs

And I've apoligised to you privately and publicly, I had a moment of weakness, I'm not angry all the time and I have the compassion to forgive, Can we put this behind us?
