    Dealings with FINE DESIGN

    Has anyone dealt with Crhis at Fine design?
    I paid for a little canard hydro, got a email saying the order has been recieved, but that is where the emails stop, anyone had any dealings with this guy?

          The Fine Design site does not show if the item is out of stock or how many are left. It is best to contact him before making a purchase or you can be waiting for your purchase. I waited 6 months for a hull. The OSE site shows when items are out of stock. Best to buy it here.

              Same here, Chris actually returned my e mail the next day. It was for an ECO prop.
              Too many boats, not enough time...

                Thanks guys,
                Maybe i should have gone to hydro and marine direct?????
                Chris will not return my emails. being on the other side of the world doesnt help trying to ring him. Anyone close to him who can call him on my behalf? i would just like him to reply to an email, i do not care if it takes 6 months to get the hull, just like to be updated.

                  The irritation was that every month he told me the hull would be in next week.

                    I had dealings with him before. If he does bother to reply to you, that tells a lot about his business practice and attitude........

                      A few years ago I was after an H&M hull, after reading the horror stories about Fine I got in contact with H&M, they were aware of his business practices and were more than happy to sell direct, I was under the impression at that time that Fine was not going to be getting any more hulls from H&M.
                      No idea what happened, I ended up scoring the hull I wanted on here used, just luck it came available.
                      If my boats upside down then who owns the one I thought I was driving the last two laps?

                        I am sure you will eventually get a boat, how long it will take and what kind will be the surprise!

                            I believe Fastasyoucan was his name when I had my run in here with him.
