This is a non scientific survey from our customers over the last ten years
We like to ask this question from people that bought new boats
not necessarily bought from Calumet Marine
" WOULD YOU DO IT AGAIN"?
"IF YOU DID IT AGAIN WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE "?
Thought i would share with every one the 10 most common responses
in as close to accurate of the most frequent responses first
BY FAR THE #1 response from our fisherman customers
1> "I wish i would have seen these (Hewes Craft) boats before i bought brand X" usually followed by "these are built like tanks"
2> "I wish i would have bought this years ago"
3> " I wish i would have spent the extra money and got the Honda "
4.> " I wish i did not have carpet in this boat"
5> "I wish i had let you guys put this stuff on there in the first place "
[especially auto pilot]
6> " I wish i would have upgraded the trailer "
7> " I wish i would have got the bigger motor "
8> " i should have bottom painted this boat to start with"
<this one came up on mostly larger boats>
9> " i should have bought a little bigger boat for lake Michigan"
although this is a common response i am not sure my self there is ever a boat too big for lake Michigan no matter how big you boat is we all need a healthy respect for the lake and its ever changing weather All that said Hewes craft boats are inherently safe
10> "I wish i never caught that first salmon"
i got hooked on fishing worse than any fish gets hooked
"but it has sure been fun"
Fun costs money. We have not figured a way around that yet
At Calumet Marine try our best to make sure you get your moneys worth
after all the fish are always going to be cheaper at the super market sea food department
Just not near as Fun bringing them home and NO really good stories to tell about it years later
