Cactus Marine & RV - Lake Havasu - Reviews?

[Waffles]

I always thought they were ahead of their time when I was a kid..

I never gave them the time of day until after I had my toon. I think they're bad ass now. Someone on fb once compared hurricanes as being the suburbans of the water wheras toons are just e450 tanks lol

I had my eye on this one before it sold. Only downside was that it was an i/o and not an o/b like I'd like to have.

Just when I thought this thread was starting to cool off, ol’ River Dave comes in and stirs the pot. LOL

 

[Lavey29]

Well it appears you lost the argument so I can see why!

Well as they say opinions are like assholes everyone has one and yours is of no concern to me.

Cactus was ordering all the twins in advance and the Rep Dan is buddies with Preston so he was getting special treatment lol. Lots of games played at forest Gump marine.
Forest Gump marine has hardly any orders in now and barely run the factory for 4 days a week they have issues there. And then they send out the email on Twins going up another 20k lmfao that's God damn crazy.
Im ordering up a Sylvan Twin which is all new coming out soon. F Forest Gump Marine. Good luck with them Overpriced Twins now.

I’m not sure what Forest Gump
marine is?[/QUOTE]
Forest River Marine. Yes, the same Forest River that does the RV's. I think that's the first time I've ever known ol' RD to not know something about boats.

[QUOTE="warlock250, post: 3370689, member: 14468]Nobody else in that town sells what they sell. Jr's and Horizon sell a 1/2 of what they got a year lol. Lots of work doing it from where I sit.

That might be true, but Preston has sold more twin engine Toons than anyone in the country.

So volume wise on hin’s You might be right.. but dollars wise those twin rigs are what a 1/4 million bucks? When they announced their production allotment for the west coast Preston said “I’ll take all of them.”

I wouldn’t go making it sound like he or JR are small time programs.[/QUOTE]Forest Gump Marine only makes like 25 twins a year so I don't believe Preston got all of them lol. Horizon does not order many boats at all. They might need to step up and get some skin in the game. Making 5% on a Twin isn't worth shit. What kinda business is that. Seriously 5%. That doesn't pencil out at all.

Doesn’t appear so. Sorry you feel you got cheated with your lack of negotiation skills.

 

[riverroyal]

Holy shit. You cant read all this with one sit on the crapper!

Nah the only time I'm lacking negotiation skills is when I'm arguing with the wife. Pretty much a no win situation.

I don’t know what he marks them up or doesn’t? I’m not a dealer. I just happen to be talking to Jim from JR and he told me Preston purchased all the twin rigs..

 

[2FORCEFULL]

That's literally what I want. Have you ever owned or driven a hurricane, Steve?

If not, can you buy one and let me know your honest review on one please? Lol



Sent from my FRD-L14 using Tapatalk

lol,... after what has happened.....ahhhhh, no...

 

[2FORCEFULL]

This is the weirdest thread I think I have ever read on rdp..

You have warlock250 aka Todd who is one of the owners of Cactus, saying in this thread he doesn’t work for Cactus.. (That doesn’t even make sense?)

Steve has posted all over this site that he bought that boat for 59.9 (I have read it multiple times, because I thought that was a smoking deal for a toon with a 250).

Then coming back saying he didn’t say that.. it’s 45+ a trade in..

Then reverting back to the 59.9.

Lavey29 digging in on that fact and almost taking it personally, which is bizarre because why would he care what Steve paid..

Steve putting up boats and talking about putting them together to make a 17’ wide deal.. lol


It’s all over the god damn place.

You guys need to relax.

thanks for getting my back dave….the boat is advertised for 59.995... what part is so fuc'n hard to understand???????????????

 

[2FORCEFULL]

here's my findings....I have never seen , or heard of dealers posting new stuff for sale that inclides tax and fee's... put if and when they do, it's right in the add...

 

[2FORCEFULL]

Glad you were able to clarify your posting errors. Pretty obvious you paid well over 59k for the godfrey. Why you repeatedly post 59k is very misleading when you factor in prep, tax , trailer and any other options. Saying you dont know exactly what you paid is complete bullshit also. Every boat sale has a final contract with final numbers and your signature on it so you know exactly how much you were given for a trade in and what you paid in difference. Some of us were born in the dark but not last night. For those of us that shopped around we know exactly what the local havasu dealers were asking for their products.

pretty obvious you can't prove what you just post,..and also, pretty obvious you just have an axe to grind with cactus...my paper work says 59,995.00...including trailer ..

 

[throttle]

Back to reviews,

had my boat serviced this week and everything went smoothly. All work done and completed when promised. [emoji106]

[2FORCEFULL]

I said no
You seem to like it
How's the oil consumption?

I went from Windsor to the avi and back on 17 gals fuel...probley 1/2gal of oil??? no idea really....when brand new they are supposed to use more oil????

 

[2FORCEFULL]

[2FORCEFULL]

IMHO, the Evinrude is way better than the honda….the Evinrude is 500hrs to the first service...

what toon do you have???

 

[2FORCEFULL]

oh, and I have titles for both toons and trailers in hand...

 

[satellitemike]

So where is the bidding going to begin on the toons?
Even thou I don't need it Ill start the bidding at 40k for the Godfey
Lets get these sold as Steve has had them way too long for his MO.

 

[2FORCEFULL]

godfrey
I also have title in hand
Did you get my pm?

LOL.... yes, and I did write a reply,...so I went back and found.....I never hit the submit ...so it was just setting there...but same as my reply to your PM, why not just put a bigger motor on your toon???? it would be easy ….put a merc 300 on it and call it a day...what does your wife say....I could take her out on my toon for a couple weekends...….you know... to see how she likes it...

Went to see Scott per warlock.
He was out of town but Manny(very helpful) worked with us and took pics of our toon for possible trade or consign
Sat in the famous 2ff Coach toon. Looked nice but too big for our needs
Also saw the new Yamaha 425. It's GINORMOUS!

Yeah, That coach was huge...didn't seem that big at all with the windshields..

Went back to Cactus.
They suck

Hey 2FF, I see you have your toons for sale. Interesting price points also which I saw posted with your add:

↑
How much are they?

excellent question...here's where i'm at on the blue godfey, I'm at right about 70k all in otd with the triple axel trailer..so I would say that I would at least need to get 55k, that would have me loosing 15k...but, if I trade it in for 55k, I would get about 5 k in tax credit...

on the coach, also triple axel trailer.... i'm in it about 90k...so same 15k discount 75k...


I thought I would try and help you out so I called Cactus RV for you to see if they would take them in trade but no one answered the phone. I emailed your buddy Warlock for you but got an auto reply that said "out of town". I drove by the shop but the lights were out and the door was locked. Strange, I was really trying to help you out. Hey do those toons come with the full Cactus Gold Star Lifetime Service Warranty also? Asking for a friend. Good luck with the sale you dumb mo fo.

 

[Lavey29]

WHAT IN THE FUCK IS THE MATTER WITH YOU?????CAN YOU FUCKING GO AWAY ….PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You seem stressed everything ok? Why dont you just go relax with your Cactus buddy Scott and have a beer. Hey do you have the title for those toons in hand? Again asking for a friend.

It's not worth it
Just turn the page and move on

so did you ever get a new toon???

 

[2FORCEFULL]

Not yet. Might as well wait for 2020 models now.
Our friends just bought a toon from Preston and we talked to him a couple times. He keeps asking about us so wife and I just need to get together and go back there

I like preston,.. all the deals I've done with him were painless...he'll write you a check for your toon and your done...

[WildWilly]

In recent weeks a couple local dealers had boats on display with big signs "Bank Repo" that I assumed came from there lol
