Considering how things with the Internet are going, it sounds like Calabria will
have to change how they do business a lot to stand a chance in the future.
A dealer can be a good thing. Over the years I have really come to respect a few
dealers out there who really love this sport and know their stuff. In particular
one really sticks out in my mind. The people there live and breath the sport, pull
tournaments and participate in them. If I get a boat from them I know it will be
tweaked and set up to pull a tournament as I receive it. I trust them almost enough
to take it sight unseen and I think they would support me well enough remotely that
I wouldn't miss having a local dealership most of the time. When you buy a boat
like this the dealership is doing a great job.

and we had to keep pestering them to just get what we ordered and paid for. And
we never did get the right trailer. It basically took the threat of lawyer involvement to get the money back that we paid for a tandem axle after the boat
arrived on a single axle.
All in all, it took about 6 months after delivery to get the boat to where it
was supposed to be the day of delivery.
