HAHA......actually you are safe with my orders, all but one were ordered last week, and I know that you placed your order much earlier. However my last one was something like #105, and I know that Mudbuddy has 8 on order and Freeway Sports has a dozen which put me way down on the list.

If you think of it from a marketing standpoint, It would be more effective to dispurse 10 boats in 10 directions than send 10 boats to one address. Right?

I guess it sort of depends on how quick those 10 boats are going to get sold and then they WILL go 10 different directions . . .

The more important issue here is for the guys at GT to maintain quality with the boom in orders. I know all the principals at GT and I would bet large $ that they want to maintain quality and will do their best to not compromise. But that doesn't mean it isn't going to be a challenge.

One of the things I learned over the years is "Never rush a craftsman."

I guess if you were hurting for business that would be true, but Gator Trax on average only builds about 10 boats a week, and now that they have over a hundred boats on order that puts em on a 2 1/2 month + backlog, which is only gonna get worse the closer we get to hunting season. So the question I have for you is, why the need to market more than they curretly do if they cant keep up with the orders that they already have?

Ordered mine 3-man on July 20 and I was told 10 weeks. 8 more to go.

tcryan · 08-03-2007, 05:18 PM

Ordered my 4 man WAY back in June,

(Should have done it a long time ago) I got the 35 HD with it and all the fixin's! I am going crazy, checking my email waiting for the phone to ring... I should be getting close to the end of my "8-9 week" prison sentence!

Hopefully Kent has to add a couple weeks when you order just to have some time to spare....I'll come get it tomorrow Kman! Really...I will.
