Todd, I'm sure everyone in this thread has read & complied with that request. I'm also sure that No one is beating up on Matt. There is obviously a flawed system in place when a man in his position has to field Emailed request for a piece of promotional material.
Are you sure about that? I am not. I sense a fair amount of indignant stubbornness to decline Matt's request to be added to the mailing list.
Obviously there are some here, Gary for instance, who are possibly looking to upgrade and are the exact demographic Sea Ray should be targeting as he has apparently always purchased new boats from Sea Ray and would possibly do it again. But, I fear by including Gary and catering to his every whim, Sea Ray may be contributing to a far greater problem. Without this outlet for Gary to express his discontent with the current SR administration, he'd have a lot of negative energy building up only to be released at once down the road with possible casualties involved. For this alone I am grateful that Sea Ray has snubbed him so publicly!!
Then there is Frank W who has been as strong an advocate for the brand as Capt. Rusty Higgins. Obviously Sea Ray should include him in magazine circulation as a minimum if not more But, because of the aforementioned parameters Sea Ray has established on circulation one email to Matt was required.
As for myself, I am not planning on purchasing a brand new boat, probably ever, but appreciate being in the loop on the magazine as I have pride in this brand and enjoy reading up on others who share that feeling. I don't "expect" Sea Ray to acknowledge me just because I own one of their vessels but, appreciate that Matt extended the opportunity to continue to receive one of their small "perks" just by expressing my personal interest to him.
Is the system flawed? Probably as can be seen by all of the negativity in many of the previous comments.
I am sorry that I started this thread as all I wanted to do was comment on some cool technology that I had never seen before. I apologize to all of you that this thread has brought out some negative feelings toward the brand or current Sea Ray hierarchy.
I also apologize to Matt (searaycorporate) because I believe that he does value this forum and tries to keep us involved in what's going on. I fear that the continued complaining at every turn will eventually beat him down and he will leave the forum, thus leaving us worse off for the future.
Damn, when will spring get here.....
