Post subject: | Questions for Matt |
Matt In an original posting entitled "Revolution Fully fitted" posted Aug 2006 Listed here http://www.hobiecat.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=4590 You have pictures of the revolution rigged out This was obviously over a year ago I have been waiting it seems forever on some of these parts to come in. Can you comment on when these parts are going to come in ? Specifically a. Ram square mounts for the Ram rod tubes to fit on a Revo, I have been waiting since august 2007 for these. I am ready to go with Scotty square flush mounts because I don't know when their gonna come in, or should I just go through RAM to acquire them myself. In another post from feb 07 another revo owner posted pix of his ride with the square mounts so I am kinda confused where he got them from Hobie or from RAM. http://www.hobiecat.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=6246 b. Hobie bait-tank, I know there was some problem with the molds, but this was a year ago. Also they are CURRENTLY listed in the 07-08 hobie catalog. I heard they won't be ready till December for Hobie and won'[t be shipping out till January. I am looking at other bait tanks and since I have waited this long I might hold on. Can you confirm that they should be in our local kayak stores by January or even Febuary ? I think you guys make great products but as a consumer I'm a little tired of waiting. If the products aren't ready, fine, but I think its bad idea to hype a product then not have it. All it does is frustrate people. Sorry for my little rant, I'll get off the soap box now BTW thanks for the replacement revo 2 weeks ago, do to various commitments I haven't put it on the water yet, hopefully veteran's day Thanks MikeG |

Post subject: | Delays |
Mike, We are really sorry for the delays in getting these accessories ready this year. Some issues have been with outside vendors, but many are our own issues as we strive for the best possible product before it gets released. We have learned about promotion before product, but it is difficult when you have unforseen delays. Catalogs have deadlines and you have expectations about deliveries. It is frustrating to all of us. You have the correct information about the LiveWells. We are shipping RAM products now, so these are available to your dealer. |

Post subject: | LiveWells |
On the LiveWells... The latest thinking is early January. No confirmed date yet. The tanks are "Blow Molded", so this is a different technology than we had worked on before. Some learning curves have proved to be longer than expected. We had to rework the mold to remove a texture that was added last minute. It looked worse rather than better, so we had to revert back to a smooth finish. |
