Thanks Hans! Good story. Some of the other reporters were not as sensitive to the actual company position, putting a more negative spin. 8-) er

Thanks cooler. The more i think about it I cant see this being a long term situation. There is alot of positives with the new designs and lexus version getting alot of press. Hopefully new buyer comes in quick.

Yea, you're fine. Wouldn't it be cool if Toyota decides to get in the game? I have been driving nothing but Toyota vehicles for the last 30 years. They make a lot of vehicles in the U.S., and I have never been even slightly disappointed in their products. Lexus obviously did some due diligence when developing a relationship. I would be more than surprised, shocked really, if something does not happen shortly. Any idea when you take delivery? 8-) er

Smart move to spend a couple of nights. Nice of the dealer to take that time with you. The dealers up here would be "thanks for the check..here's the keys...see ya" Just 70 days of waiting. (That is going to seem like eternity.) :-D When you say bring it up, do you mean on a truck or cruising it to you? Where is the dealer? 8-) er

Hopefully Carver can hang in there. We all don't want to become orphan boat owners. :cry:

Hopefully there will be someone, a business person, who sees the value of this product. Lets all send positive vibes to all the workers there. Geez.

Just saw a live video of the Miami boat show and full carver display with the Lexus model so that is a good sign.

Fingers crossed. Hopefully this is a good sign for Carver's future.
