Hell's Bay Boatworks and Gander Mountain - Page 2

Wow. Chris needs to think about what he is doing...Selling skiffs at gander is one thing, but wrapping them with that crap is the worst thing I have ever seen anyone do to a HB. Why would you want to cover up the beautiful deck of that skiff with something as stupid looking as that?

Next time I talk to Chris I plan to ask him about this, and tell him about all the negative feedback if he doesnt read it here himself.

Who ever buys that skiff doesnt deserve to be a part of the darkside association. Unless they peel all that crap off it.

I am seriously disappointed. Thats a disgrace to what Hells Bay was about.

Unfortunately, Hells bay has jumped the shark. It is heartbreaking. Sterling/Mannino doesn't look so bad anymore. :wink:

Glad you found your way over here. Did you leave the county again last weekend? Hope everyone was safe....

What Tanner means is that Hells Bay did not produce the skiff this way or do the wrap. After Gander Mountain obtained the skiff, they did the wrap.

It just didnt seem logical to me that hells bay would do that to a skiff.

I could easily see how a corporate company like Gander Mountain would feel this could be appealing, but they have severly misunderstood what makes hells bays appealing, and it is the opposite of whats wrapped around that skiff.

Put an ice blue/white glades skiff next to that one and it will sell quickly. I hope that skiff sits there long enough that they dont make that mistake again.
