Well for openers things happen beyond people's control & I'm sure there was a good reason. I waited 5 months for some sponsons for my next SAW boat, seems klegecell was in extremely short supply. Nonetheless, I've received some of the very best support in model boating from Andy & the gang at CMDi & will continue to support them. Have I waited for stuff? Yup. 4 months? I can beat that one, try waiting a year or two for a scale hull.holgionline said:

So Holgi you think 90 days or so is unreasonable? Don't you think Andy & his gang might take some time off at Christmas like the rest of us? Ever think that others just might have ordered boats ahead of you? I'm sorry to hear that you didn't have the patience to wait especially after placing an order just before the single biggest holiday in the U.S. These boats are hand built by John, not churned off some assembly line in Tiawan. Besides, a first rate race hull is worth waiting for.holgionline said:
Hey don't get me wrong, I can't tell how long to wait, that is up to you. What I can tell you is that you placed an order at one of the worst times as far as here in the US goes. In the month of December you lose 2 weeks minimum right off the bat- the week leading up to Christmas & the week before New Year's. I don't know how it is over there but here things virtually come to a standstill. Shipping or ordering stuff from suppliers is next to impossible during the "holiday rush". I also know that the high grade Klegecell that CMD uses in the sponsons became basically non existant around December. I know this because I was waiting on a set of sponsons for my next SAW boat & both John & Andy were desperately trying to find Klegecell. It's a little tough to build good sponsons without it. I ordered a bunch of my stuff for this spring back in November, knowing full well how things are around the Chistmas holidays & how busy they always are at CMD. And on top of all that Andy lost a very valuable & intergral employee recently due to the sudden death of her son, my most sincere condolences go out to Michelle, I'll miss her cheerful voice when I call down there. Even without all this it still takes time to construct these hand made boats. It's no different for Roadrunners, I waited 4 1/2 months once for a 45 Ultralite but it was worth it. Crapshooters are limited production boat, if you don't make that particular year's cut off for boats you get bumped to the following year. And don't even consider a 1/8th scale boat if you don't have patience. Other than perhaps Phil Thomas, you can wait a year or two for a boat hull. All I can tell you is hang tough & keep in contact with CMD. What you choose to do from here is up to you.holgionline said:
