looks like JR's old place has new ppl in it?

[yamaslut]

If Petey went over and spoke to him and says he's ok... I'm cool w/ him. Lots of people ride on the coat tails of others to get started... I don't find that to be bad business, if he's just trying to get a foot in... The number thing is a bit scetchy though...

Like anyone else, I will give the guy the respect he deserves... We'll see how things go...

 

[sflsurfrider]

So let me get this straight... A guy gives his opinion which included negative comments and now he is hated in the jet ski market? C'mon now. I don't care who you are or what guy you use to do your performance work, but everyone isn't going to have the same positive experience that you may have had. Give the guy a chance before everyone talks down to him. It's best to go on personal experience, not others.

yes, its a clique thing. it goes on a lot around here.

The phone number is my issue too, that's just wrong. The building, it's fair game since it is prime real estate with water access, but the phone number is 'unclassy'.

Word. The guy was nice to me when I went over there. I like to be a fair "Standup" guy. If slander happens, well I wont associate. Let them hang themselves. He seemed like he wants to do the right thing....

Well come-on look deeper into it the phone number issue I am guessing it is tied into the landlord in this situation. Also I would not be too shocked if there was a silent partner the pulling puppet strings.

word, pretty odd... and this was the same cat who took a shot at Paul's business or practices in the past? Pretty fishy indeed to move into his old location and use his old phone #. Should give it ring and see if "Paul" (cough.. cough) answers! Whatever.... Guess time will tell...

 

[Kny21]

Not sure what to say, don't want to stir the pot but if I'm remembering correct, if its the same guy, I would of thought there would be more backlash....

He seemed like he wants to do the right thing.... First thing would be to change that phone number. To bad I cant post on PWC with this info !

me too! :wink:

I sincerely believe that is the situation.

Give the guy a chance it may be a good thing. We need more shops and ideas for this sport to grow. More sponsors will be a good thing. I few years ago I had never heard of Jr. Magoos and that has worked out great for me.

X-H2O.com was started in January 2006 as an outlet For Riders, By Riders to grow the sport of jetskiing.

Our focus is on expanding the visibility of our sport by promoting events, riders, and companies.


Isn't this on the x home page?

I also stopped by to talk to the guy. Like Pete said, he seems like a pretty cool guy with a love for the sport. It was my first time ever meeting him and he has good plans for what he is trying to do. I also agree that the phone number is a little sketchy. This is one situation that I think everyone is better off staying "out of the loop" on. Once slander starts, thats where the hanging begins.

And sfl, its not about a "clique" thing, its a matter of respect and derrogatory comments. If you knew what transpired you may have a different opinion.

I believe in giving everyone a chance, but Paul was always, and will always be my engine guy due solely to the fact that IMO he is the best engine builder out there, not because he is my friend.

 

[ski4]

i also would not be suprised if there is a good reason that the number has stayed with the shop, and as far as it being magoo's old shop????????
well from what i have heard who wouldn't want to put a shop there. i have never been there but it sounds like the absolute perfect location.

paul will always have his customer base but nothing beats having a local guy when you need parts in a pinch.
it's a bummer in clevelnad now that our 2 local shops have shut down for sure
i am sure the rest of the cleveland crew will attest to this

i say give the guy a chance. if he's a douche he won't last, if not it will only make the sport better

ok this my experience with mark..
I was selling a blaster pipe on e-bay.. he hit me up asking for my number to talk to me about it.. he called me and we talked.. he said he wanted to tune down his blaster 50 hp by switching to a FFP from a TNT.. he told me about his methane burning blasters with over 300 psi of compression with o-ring heads and over 250 hp and went on to tell me about his case porting being second to none.. by far the best!!
I asked where he was from and he said toms river and asked him if he knew paul.. then he bashed him real bad (rip off,no one goes there,bad engine builder, the only reason he gets work is off the net.. and on and on and on) I looked up his posts and found a bunch of slams on PWC at that point..

Now he moved into his old shop and must have worked hard to get his old number too !!
That sure doesn't look like he is trying to start over with a new life !

This is only my experience with him and I can't say what else has gone on.. I guess he is tight on PWC because guess what ? I got banned again..

I think a big statement right now would be to change the number and post here.. that is going to be a respect starter !

Come on Butch...the two accounts left you wide open.

I have had/used that account for 4 months or better.. I have used that account for a few threads that sound fishy..
Why wait untill this thread to close the account and ban me ?
Why not just close that account ?
