I always call Dave. There are days I get the message machine or I don't get answers to emails, but not often. I call in the morning hours and always get through. In fact I mentioned your concern and DAVE said tell him if he wants us to fix it just send it on in and we would be happy to fix it with about a week turn around right now.
As far as the white water forums, all I can do is laugh. Most times they are comparing apples to oranges. And if there is a problem with NFO it is ALWAYS a friend had one, what a joke.
Now if running class 5 white water all the time or this is your thing, NFO does have the steeheader with the larger pontoons and frames, but he sales more than any of those other companies could dream of and he focuses more on FISHING. BUT, any of his boats can and have done so, go down a class V.
Same breath, try taking one of those Steelheaders out on stillwater. Way overkill. More wind Resistance, harder to sit and kick, weight is sick.
Again, the bad mouth is done by people that CLAIM they ordered something they didn't, in fact one guy pm'd me bitching he didn't get the rolling duffle. I asked when he purchased it, and he said he didn't, it was suppose to come with the boat????? Never seen that, it is an accessory, but again, customer screw up. Michael bitched his caps came off, come to fine out he was lifting boat by the caps!
Or the complaints from people that have never owned one, but a friend of a friend....
There is another forum that is quickly becoming an OUTLAW site and everyone loves them. Some great mods as well.
Problem with the Escape is I thought of it as a pontoon boat, it isn't! It is a magnum float tune with oars is all. It is perfect as a Float tube!
You decide and I can help if you need it. I will be making a trip up there this week.
