[quote TubeDude][#0000ff]Thanks for the well wishes. I do like the Escape and plan to spend a lot of fishy time in it. Just irked at what I had to go through to acquire the "standard" of the industry...in quality and price.
Sadly, as I look at all of the reviews for Dave's company on the Internet I find that my experience is not unique. There are a lot of buyers out there who have been underwhelmed at the after sale service.
Also
ly, I have almost come to expect that I will have to deal with problems in workmanship or delivery whenever I order anything on line. There are exceptions but even big conscientious firms like Amazon have glitches. I once ordered some line from them and got the wrong size...three times in a row...returning and explaining each time that they had it improperly labeled with their own labels. Their label showed the 25# test I ordered, but plainly printed on the manufacturer's label it was only 15# test.
But, I remain the eternal (infernal) optimist and keep buying online.

Wow, maybe I'm just lucky, but I've never had close to that much trouble with my frequent orders online from other companies! Even with stuff shipped directly from China companies.
Sad to hear about all those issues with NFO and Amazon for you. Too bad, because NFO is a leader and only source of some very innovative products, to the point there is no other place to go. So I'm thinking maybe better for me to go to one of their shows and get a demo boat...
One of the reviews on NFO boats at Cabellas indicated the seat slow leak issues might be related to the coating rubbing thin with wear or abrasion issues, but who knows?
Wish you better luck from now on.
