We first contacted NMIG through their website in Febuary 2009. We found a few boats we were interested in, but they were not available. But Tom Grayson told us about another they had "just gotten in". After 2 weeks of waiting on pictures, we felt it was just what we were looking for. But, they did not actually HAVE the boat and could not contact owner for another approx. 2 weeks. When they finally did, the owner (I guess) wanted his attorney and accountant to look over contracts. After approx. a month of trying to get ahold of Tom and/or Chuck, they told me they had not heard from owner, BUT they had another boat they wanted us to look at. We weren't happy, but we decided to give this one a try, since it was already approx. end of March. They were quick to send Brokers agreement and want money, ( Not the amount we had been told numerous times, of course ), but we sent them $3, 100. anyway. Then there were problems with getting the boat delivered. Now, it seemed, they could not get ahold of this boats owner, BUT they had dealt with this gentleman before and he was a good, honest man. (HA). Finally, sometime in the beginning of April, the boat was delivered ( We still had to call and argue, and listen to excuses, even before the boat arrived.) (Couple days after delivery, the delivery company calls us to get phone number and/or address for NMIG (they weren't answering the numbers he had) they had bounced $1, 200 worth of check to them. I don't know what ever came of that.) When weather finally permitted, myself, husband, (3) sons, brother & sister-in-law and (2) nieces took it to the lake. By the way, we were told this 2002 boat had a brand new motor and we still had to break it in. We unloaded, and it wouldn't start. We purchased a new battery and it started, we idled through the no wake zone, got past the buoys, went about 1/3 throttle, and it fell on its face !!! We had to wait on the lake for about 2 hours for someone to come pull us back to the marina. We immediatley loaded up, went home, and Monday morning, I was calling Tom. I was ASSURED NMIG would get this taken care of and find us another boat. Now it is June, 2009, I still have a broken boat sitting in my driveway, NMIG has taken $4, 000 from me, changed phone numbers, and want us to get boat fixed. Our credit is bad from past problems, but we are doing much better now, wanted a boat, can afford payments, but cannot get financing, this sounded like a great way to get a boat. Also, the boat we have sitting in our driveway is still on their website as being available for sale. There is a whole lot more to this story than I can fit. So, I don't know what it's going to take to get this situation taken care of, but I hope I have saved someone else money, time and hassle.
