slipped through the cracks...

Subject: [Boatpokers] DOLPHINITE PAINT FAILRE
Message-ID: <002d01c3c507$74ce35a0$953e79a5 at oemcomputer>
FOR THOSE OF YOU FOLLOWING THIS MISERABLE CASE, HERE IS SOME UPDATE:
THE CLASS ACTION CASE HAS BEEN FILED IN NEW JERSEY. INCLUDED AS
DEFENDANTS ARE
DOLPHINITE, DOLPHINITES LLC PARTNERS, AND INDIVIDUALS OWNING AN INTEREST
IN
DOLPHINITE. ALSO NAMED IS CLEAN SEAS CORP., ITS LLC OWNERS AND SEVERAL
INDIVIDUALS. THE CASE WILL TAKE A LONG TIME IN THE COURTS. THERE IS NO
CONFIRMATION ANY HAD ANY PRODUCT LIABILITY FOR PRODUCT FAILURE OR PRODUCT
LIABILITY FOR PROPERTY DAMAGE TO OTHERS WHO USED THE PRODUCT.
ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM WEST MARINE. I HAD BOUGHT THE
PAINT THERE. THEY GRACIOUSLY REIMBURSED ME FOR THE PAINT.(ABOUT $500).
THEN
OUT OF THE BLUE, LATER I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THEM INDICATING THEY
DIDN'T
WANT TO LEAVE THEIR CUSTOMERS WITHOUT RECOURSE. THEY ASKED FOR CLAIM
AMOUNT
AND DOCUMENTATION WHICH I SENT. TWO WEEKS LATER CAME A STATEMENT OF LOSS
FROM
AN ADJUSTER. FILLED IT OUT AND TWO WEEKS LATER RECEIVED A CHECK FOR
$5,900.......FOR WHICH I AM NOW FOREVER GRATEFUL TO WEST AND WILL BE A
LOYAL
CUSTOMER FOREVER.
YOU CAN SEE MORE IN BOAT US MAGAZINE FOR NOVEMBER, 2003 UNDER "BARNACLE
BUFFET". YEP, THAT'S ME LOOKING AT THE BOTTOM AND MY WIFE IS SCRAPING THE
RUDDER.
REPAIRS TOOK OVER 50 HOURS IN A COMMERCIAL YARD. THE CLAMS AND MUSSELS
TOOK
ABOUT 3 HOURS TO REMOVE. THE BARNACLES WERE A WHOLE LOT TOUGHER.
I UNDERSTAND THIS PAINT WAS APPLIED TO MANY INFLATABLES. MOST I GATHER
ARE A
TOTAL LOSS IN THAT THE EXTENSIVE REMOVAL PROCESS EXCEEDS VALUE.
DICK OBRITZ, A.M.S.
