Here's an interesting anecdote. Diego
Tavares (the name was changed to protect identity), bought a new
inflatable boat, called Bombablaster 15 (brand name changed to protect
the manufacturer). Diego
went to a local exhibition of boats and found an offer Bombablaster 15
that was too good to refuse - 50% discount, financing instant and
unlimited guarantee of 5 years.Buying a New Inflatable BoatThe
first problem with Diego was the bomb that included, which was
completely inappropriate for your boat, so it took over half an hour to
inflate the seat. After contacting the manufacturer, was told that the optional electric pump would cost another $ 122.50. Whereas there was little time to spend inflating the boat, Diego decided to buy it.
After using your boat time, Diego found that the information provided by the manufacturer on how compact it was the boat was totally wrong. However much he tried he was unable to replace the boat in storage bag.
The next discovery was that Diego, even though the manufacturer told him that the raft was compatible with engines of up to 10 horsepower outboard motor of 9 hp possessed, severely diminishing the speed of the boat. And when he added fuel to the engine, the bow rose water almost ready to roll over. Diego eventually solved the problem by getting an extension that allowed him to sit on the other end of the boat, making counter with your body, so it does not turn around when using the engine. The truth is that this solution did not work much, because the weight of Diego barely sufficient to keep down the bow while racing.
Despite many problems, Diego himself with his new boat, and at the end of the first season, it was stored with the intention of re-draw for the next. Upon arriving next season, however, drew his Bobablaster and tried to re-inflate, but found that the seams had subsided and the boat was simply no longer operable.
Finally frustrated to the utmost, sending an angry letter Diego manufacturer, demanding to fulfill the 5 year warranty. He waited for a month with no response and decided to call the number from the manufacturer, thus discovering that the line had been disconnected and there was no way to contact you.
This is a story that is repeated constantly - in different ways - around the country. The lesson here is that if you are looking to buy an inflatable boat again, it's much better long term buy a name brand, even if it must pay more than other brands. In the end, be grateful to have paid a little more for quality and strength of own branded products.
