Heads-up on Viking boat lift / Viking Marine International
 

Hi, if any MasterCraft owners are considering buying a Viking boat lift (www.vikingboatlift.com), be aware that unfortunately we, and others, have had a very poor experience with this company.

It has been nearly 15 months, since Viking Marine International received our US$4000 deposit, for a boat lift they promised to deliver and install in "4 to 6 weeks".

As of July 22 2011 we still don't have a boat lift.

We have send demands for our money back, but have not received that either.

We hope this helps folks make informed buying decisions.

Safe boating! Keith

Sorry to have this bring you to Team Talk Keith, but welcome just the same.

Thanks! Just giving fellow boaters a heads-up, to prevent them ending up in the same predicament...

Any place that rips off a design is a little shady to begin with...

"And just a reminder, Leisure Boat Lift has also been copied (without license) in Ontario since 2001."

Sorry to hear about your luck.

Just read through the whole blog. You have been much more patient that I could ever be. Good luck.

Just realized you're in Texas... not so close to Hamilton.

Hope you get your money back. When you do, give Doug a call at Leisure Boat Lift (link above), he should be able to help you out with a lift.

Happy New Year folks!

To recap - in April 2010 we paid Viking Marine $4000 US as a deposit for a boat lift. Here we are nearly 3 years later sans the lift or money....

Just wanted to let you know that the Canadian Government just laid charges against Viking Marine International - full details on my blog at http://myvikingboatliftexperience.blogspot.com

Safe boating all!

If I were you and Canada was not so far away, I would attend the trial.

Sorry Bastard is a damn thief

Good for you!!!!

Unbelievable. Keep us posted.
