Well they have changesd that he still gets the E Tec for the $4000 but this time he is only getting 1 year warr cause of the biss part. Still making out!! IMO

Well things have changed a bit regarding the motor deal. Since I posted this on THT it has come to Bombardier's attention that I run some charters with my boat. Due to that they are considering me a commercial user and that was not factored into the equation when they made me the original deal. I just got off the phone with the head of Bombardier's warranty dept and she explained the situation and sincerly wants to make this work for everyone involved.

Since they want my business and they don't want to leave me in the lurch they have come forward with a new offer based on the new circumstances.

Option 1# I get a new powerhead on the existing motor and my warranty will be complete due to being comercial. No money out of pocket, but also no more warranty, including my extended warranty since it too does not cover any comercial usage.

Option #2 I get to purchase a new 2007 E-Tec with the 1 year comercial warranty on the new engine. The price will be discounted significantly for me compared to buying a new engine under normal circumstances.

I chose option #2. I will still be getting a new 2007 E-tec under the terms of the new deal we've aggreed upon.

While it's not the deal I had planned on, I understand where Bombardier is coming from and appreciate them taking the time to reach out to me personally and also coming forward with a deal that still works out well for me. Also thanks to Eagle Marine for going to bat for me.

Looks like my first guess was correct.

1. The dealer takes care of him in that there is no mention to the factory about him being comm.

No...........he just talked about it too much on the internet. THT is widespread and I'm sure someone within the ranks at Bombardier read his stories.
