[quote idahoron]Only for you. I don't have a problem with it you brought it up like you always do. [

Here is the long version that I have been holding back for way too long. Remember I do like you and I do value some of your opinions.[cool]
When someone brings up getting a new boat all we here from you is, they are not made here in the USA. Or " only the frames are made here". Are you looking out for them or are you selling a boat for NFO?
Your saying that every thread, every dro of glue, fabric, and even the steel it's self is only american made.
[#ff0000]Actually the are all USA made right down to the top grade Aluminum used in the frame. Why should he buy the toons for the Steelheader when he can make them himself. And the end caps are not a trade mark for Maxxon, they have been used for years.[/#ff0000]
NOT one fiber of the NFO product is foreign?
[#ff0000]
Maybe that is all you read. Actually I recommended Outcast and Bucks bags made up there in Idaho. And as for float tubes I said ODC was a good deal. Better go back and read. Koch was the one at always mentioned NFO.[/#ff0000]
If your saying that then we need to see some documentation. I don't believe that for one minute. Not in this global economy we have today.
[#ff0000]
Never said any of this[/#ff0000]
I have seen it several times where you recommend a boat to someone that can't afford an NFO boat. A lot of people don't have the money to spend on his overly expensive boats.
[#ff0000]
Read my first answer, that goes here as well. I do recommend NFO to people that can afford them however, and I am surely not alone on this.[/#ff0000]
Without regard to the persons finances you push your agenda down their throats. Even in my own case as you were trying to push an x5 down my throat.
[#ff0000]
Backing up a bit, you PM's me asking ME about the X5...nowhere have I ever pushed these boats down peoples throat.
[/#ff0000]I told you a Sturgeon could not be landed on a x5 from the side in zodiac style.
[#ff0000]Correction, YOU (your words) can't land a sturgeon on this style boat. What's the real difference between the zodiac style fishing and fishing from a boat?[/#ff0000]
I think you still feel I am wrong even though you have never done it. Your reply was big fish are landed from the side. Big what, trout?
NO ONE HAS EVER LANDED A STURGEON ON THE SIDE OF A X5 ZODIAC STYLE. If a Sturgeon has been landed in an X5 we would know about it. If I am wrong I will buy you lunch. I want to see pictures, and better yet a video.
[#ff0000]
According to who? Not everyone photographs or videos their fishing trips.
This does not mean it cannot be done. No reason on earth it cannot be done[/#ff0000]
You fail to see there is more than one way to fish and no one boat fits all. No one maker fits all. A young man with limited funds asked a while back about a boat and instantly he was hit with the sales pitch that he needs a boat that will cost close to 1000.00 dollars. He had 200 to work with. He was made to think he was failing some how because he was thinking about a boat that might not be a NFO.
You accused me of working for Skookum, but I got to ask. What is YOUR kick back from NFO for Pimping his products like a trained sales person?
[#ff0000]Accuse you of working for Skookum? Man, are you reading something no one else is? I simply asked if you were working for them now. Just a simple question. Nothing more.
Real simple answer here, I don't keep posting about catching fish in my "Outlaw X5 or "nfo.com" I do give consumer reviews. I even pointed out I didn't like the Escape. [/#ff0000]
Then when people have trouble with NFO and there always is, you have to step in to try to help with customer satisfaction. In reality I hear more negative reviews on NFO for customer satisfaction than anything else.
Well maybe that is not true. I here a lot of complaining about price.
[#ff0000]
A not sure why you made this statement then say it isn't true, but it got it off your chest. NFO sales way more boats than Skookum or Cataraft. A salesman for Cataraft even posted this. Selling this many boats, one or two may have a problem, excuse me if I live close enough to try and help.
[/#ff0000]
NFO is not for everyone.
[#ff0000]
Again, my first answer[/#ff0000]
Do I think they are a good boat? Yes I do! I would have one if I thought I needed one. But I don't. They don't offer anything I need at this time.
Your last thread on the Tube and Toon section was an all out sales pitch. Only 5 pounds and perfect for this, or perfect for that. YOU have that audacity to accuse ME of working for a manufacture.
[#ff0000]
It was a REVIEW, Ron. I do have people asking me about these things and again, I live close enough to find out.
[/#ff0000]
So come out with it what is your cut? No one works as hard for a company as you. What is your percentage? If your doing that for free your playing right into his hands. Maybe you get free boats? Either way the pot called the kettle black.
[#ff4040]
I give product reviews, and I give fishing reports, no percentage, and no name plug.com in every report.[/#ff4040] [#ff0000]
I don't own any of the new boats, but I did get to see them first hand and I was asked to report about them[/#ff0000]
Buying USA is important for all of us when we can I do it my self. But when we can't that is ok. It was ok for you to buy a foreign made motor right? When I post I got a USA made motor your down on it, why? Johnson/ evinrude made motors here and over seas. Are you against them because they are a global company? Is the motor perfect?
[#ff4040]
This is all out there Ron, I have never made any of these statements. I do agree to buy American when you can but not always the case...never said different. It is next to impossible to buy 100% USA made motor these days, anyone knows this. [/#ff4040]
No but I don't know anything that is. Except what you personally have. Everything you have is the best that ever was the rest of us are a lower class to you. Why did you feel the need to run down the motor? Do you get kick backs for selling Merc? Do you sell merc so you just want to make a sale?
[#ff4040]
Run down the motor? What the heck are you reading? I asked the obvious questions. Really.[/#ff4040]
I am sure if you looked at your regular purchases many more items are not made here. But you flog a potential boat buyer with it and make them feel like they are Red Chinese for even thinking about a boat that is not made here or all that parts are not made here.
[#ff4040]
WOW! Again, I live in America, I understand global economy, I am writing this on a Computer.[/#ff4040] [#ff4040]
What is with all the China accusations? All this cause I asked if you worked for them?[/#ff4040]
So next time before you tell me to take the stick out of my eye take the plank out of yours. I say this with all due respect. [

The last comment is not worth an answer, and I say that with all due respect. You have a nice day, Ron.[/#ff4040]
