Martin Motor Sports..two thumbs down....Wabamun !

[-JR-]

Two thumbs down for Martin Motor Sports.
Got to the lake and lunched early to avoid other boaters at the launch.
Returned to the main boat launch in town around 10:00 am to find out the staff at Martin Motor Sports decided to launch their boats and leave their two company trucks locked on the ramp and the trailers in the water blocking the ramps as they were driving around in the middle of the lake ! Finally one did come in and they only moved one truck.
This is bad ethics.
They lost me as a customer .

[waterninja]

Does sound like an asinine move.

[diamond k]

I should of snapped a picture and posted it. They love good press like that?

Martin lost me a few years ago but that's another storey for another day.

[wellpastcold]

Definitely a googan move.

[sportman]

I was there and one unit had to be sitting at the launch unattended for a least half an hour. Could not take pictures but got license numbers and will notify Martin Motor Sports. when we left there were 2 guys waiting to launch but could not.

[TROLLER]

Maybe if one of those trailers would have come unhooked and wound up a bit further into the lake someone would get the idea about how to launch then park the truck and trailer in the lot not on the ramp.

[Blastoff]

What a bunch of nobs, you know I have been at others lake and when you ask someone to move you get an attitude from them, who ever does that needs there door kicked in or windshield smashed.

These employes have a dream job testing new boats, and this is what they do.
There is only one thing the company needs to do......

[Smiity]

I'm sorry to hear that. That's definitely not right. I actually just bought a used boat from Martin Motors in Calgary, and the staff there was unbelievable. Even though it wasn't a brand new boat, we still had great service. I would definitely contact Martin Motors and find out who the staff were, and what the deal was. I would presume that they don't want those type of ppl working and representing them.

i would have parked right in front of them and locked your vehicle and leave them blocked in.

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

[waiting41]

Not a company problem, but a people problem!
Have had similar problems when bird hunting. One space to launch a small boat and guys will unload and go hunting for the day...........people are f...ked in the head these days, whatever works for them, screw everyone else! If i would have done something like that when i was young i would have got my ass kicked...and rightfully so. Just a sign of the times, i suppose we just deal with it or stay on the couch........

seeings how everyone is in an uproar about this i am guessing this is a public boat launch they were blocking? i am not familiar with the lake in question.

That has to be entered into the solid gold list of epic moron moves.

There are only two explanations .....

A) They are self center and narcissistic and don't give a crap about anyone else but themselves.

B) They are intellectually incapable of basic human reasoning and mentally deficient.

Send them a quick message and let them know. I did, I encourage the rest of you to do the same or they will just keep on doing it and getting away with it.
