Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Buyer Beware about RE-E-POWER.com

 

my hat is off to you Arby ! Will be happy to advertise your company to
others. As a small business onwer I do understand the plight of being
self-employed and depending on the public. But your actions is the way
to get business as opposed to driving business away by deceiving the
public

Hi Scott,
If you still have an application for your Re-e-Power motor, send me the
pod and brushed controller. I'll donate a brushless dc motor and
controller fit into your housing. Thunderstruck gets your controller for
a high school donor. You'll need a prop, which Dave at Silent Running
Systems can help you source. Your motor will be built to match your
boat's spec's and the prop's dynamics.

Accordingly, Re-e-power will not need to worry about a refund. I'm not a
competitor with Re-e-Power, and I believe it is in the best interest of
this fledgling US industry to advance our condition through cooperation
and mutual support, rather than dog-eat-dog in the manner of business as
usual. We are all facing some measure of impact during this economic
slump, some more than others. I believe the years of experience in the
engineering of the pod system makes it ultimately more attractive to
boats without existing inboard drive systems.

Be Well,
Arby

additional $210.00. He promised to ship in 4 weeks. After numerous
inquires about my unit and when it would ship, I sent Kevin an email the
morning of 6/24/09 and asked for a refund. After all of his broken
promises about shipping, I figured he would never ship me a unit. He
shipped on 8/24/09 AFTER I requested a refund and AFTER I requested that
he NOT ship. What arrived was unbelievable, the unit had a large scratch
on the side, rust on the mounting post holes and WATER INSIDE the unit!
It was missing the prop, two other parts and the instruction/installation
manual. Completely useless and USED.
> I immediately shipped the partial used unit back and have been trying
to get a refund through my credit card company and PayPal. I have
requested a refund (any refund) from Kevin. He replied that he had $270
in his bank account. I asked for a partial refund and I said I would work
with him on a payment plan. No response until today, when I gave him one
last chance to act like a responsible businessman. He said "I fully
intend to work something out with you" but I have received no money or
payment plan.

system if needed. I also expect RE-E-POWER to go out of business soon.

you now do so with full knowledge of his business practices.

feel an obligation to tell everyone the truth about RE-E-POWER.com.
