Still No Response from Bill Ross in OH

It is now Friday 6/22/07 and Bill Ross has still not responded as he said he would. There has been no progress from Fairport Yachts or Yanmar and repeated calls to Bill Ross and Yanmar to discuss this matter have not been returned.

In my opinion, I think Bill Ross is simply attempting to play a rather obvious legal chess game by ignoring us and thinking that my wife and I were bluffing when we communicated in our Demand Letter that we will sue all the parties involved under the DTPA. We have provided Bill Ross and all the parties a very elegant way to settle matters and yet Fairport (part of Bill Ross' Challenger Co's) and even Yanmar USA ignore calls this past week. We're trying to do the right thing and give the responsible parties an easy and fair way out of this mess. After all, the pictures here show what boats look like after a hurricane rolls through from the Gulf of Mexico.

The record will show that we have given all the parties the best and most economic way to have this matter go away and yet it has been rejected, or at best is being ignored. MAKO remains on the hard at $75/day and we progress day-by-day through hurricane season. Fairport Yachts, Yanmar and the dealer continue to gamble with the liability as they hold up resolution of the sail drive and provable build issues on MAKO.
