Thanks HUMPH for the heads up there. Interesting start to the thread anyway. Well now inquiring minds have been informed as to Scooter Wayne's disposition. On a side note though (due to remarks made in the above mention thread) if a person sells their Sea Ray does that mean they shouldn't continue to be a part of the forum? In the short time I have been here it appeared to be a group of people (that had been members for a long time here) that had fun with each other and when someone had a question there was a answer found. In short informative and entertaining
Life brings about changes so if a person reaches a point where they find themselves without a Sea Ray they are still a Sea Ray person at heart and should be treated as such.

Being a backstabber that you are, I guess you want/need it !!. :smt021

What is your next move ??.........

Wayne you don't support this site... please leave. :wow:
 
Why the ad hominem?

Based off of my interactions with GFC and reading of his posts, I find GFC to be one of the most upstanding members of this forum. He truly has class as well as integrity, honesty, and intellect.
 
To clarify what Wayne is referring to:

When I volunteered early this past summer to help a CSR member take a boat from Lake Union in Seattle down to Stockton, CA one of the things we discussed by phone prior to the trip was safety gear. The boat owner assured me (and the other person who had also volunteered to help) that he was going to rent a 4-person life raft for the trip, then return it via truck freight to Seattle when we had reached Stockton.

During the pre-departure discussions I should have asked to see the life raft, but didn't because of the excitement/confusion prior to the next morning's departure My bad.

At some point near the end of the trip, or maybe at the end, the topic of the life raft came up. The boat owner admitted that he had not rented the life raft because (paraphrasing his words) it was too expensive to return it and too much of a hassle.

Both the other volunteer and I felt we'd been lied to and had we known before we departed that there was no life raft, neither of us would have made the trip. To be out on the ocean for several days without a means of saving one's life (IMHO) far outweighs the inconvenience and hassle of returning the lift raft after the trip.

I made mention on CSR of my disappointment and frustration with having been lied to (a lie can be withholding pertinent information as well as giving false information) about the life raft. The other volunteer and I discussed this at length following the trip and I feel confident we both feel the same way. Both of us agreed that we'd make a similar trip together at any time in the future because we trusted each other's judgment but that neither of us would ever take a trip with that boat owner again.

So that's what Wayne is referring to. He apparently feels that by me airing my dirty laundry on CSR I stabbed the boat owner in the back.

Sorry Wayne, but the owner's failure to rent the life raft because it would have inconvenienced him and cost him a few bucks is one thing. Failing to disclose to us that he'd chosen not to rent the life raft and giving us the choice to opt out of the trip was another issue. Both of which, in my mind, were very serious breaches of ethics. I stand by my earlier decision to air my dirty laundry so that others might learn from my failure to ask about the life raft prior to departing.

LTD330, thank you for your comments.

Good on ya for standing your ground. In aviation, we spend a lot of time on crew resource management. There are a lot of tombstones due to the crew members blindly going along with the captains decisions or being bullied into doing things they know are not good practice or flat out wrong.

It takes a lot of strength to stand your ground sometimes, and one should never feel forced into a potential bad situation, particularly once one's concerns have been voiced.

I was just discussing this issue regarding aviation and captains the other day with a fellow CSR'er. A lot of lives can be saved by just speaking up.

Regarding the life raft issue....If it was me, and he agreed that he would make the investment.... and I was volunteering my time, I would be very unhappy that he didn't honor his word. Everyone has their own comfort level but being lied to is a totally different issue.
 
Wow.
I did not read about the life raft issue, I must have somehow missed that thread. I am sitting here in some state of mild shock. I was going to ask what a raft outfitted to handle that trip would cost but it really does not matter. I guess lots of people do it, but jeez.
 
and all this time I thougth GFC stole Waynes scooter with his wife on the back, took her to Sturgis for the big ralley and made sweet love to her in their pop-up tent at the campgrounds. :huh:
