Manufacturer

[saparkintent]

Hi sorry to repeat my self
On here but I didn’t get an answer really just got lots of folks saying there are loads of pit falls with Chinese boats

So this was my original question

Has any one on here had dealings with this manufacturer ??

Qingdao Hangkai Yacht Co., Ltd
GUANGZHAO BOATS

[beerbelly]

would have thought if anyone had they would of either said so the first time you asked or are too ashamed to admit it

In the interests of full disclosure, having failed to post on the previous thread - I haven't imported one.

Look nobody else is going to help you, so I won't either.

I did have a Hankai outboard. This was to power my kayak. The reviews all indicated that the engine was hard to start. When I got mine it was hard to start but, when I examined the engine I found they had labelled the choke back to front and people where obviously trying to start the engine without using the choke.

A lot of well known brands use Chinese parts or manufacture generic products for other companies to put their brand names too.

I wouldn't mind buying one so I suggest you buy one first so I don't make an expensive mistake.

Glad to be of assistance.

Also there is another thread "China Made RIBs" you might want to check out.

Did you read the posting guidelines:

We don’t really like people asking the same question over and over because they didn’t get the answer they wanted the first time.

The only person who thinks importing boats from China as a private individual is a great idea is Smallribber who has never done it, thinks £7k is not much money to risk, and got banned with a previous account for arguing for the sake of it. He’s a fairly unique character (if the persona he presents is even real). If you are looking for more people like him - you won’t find many here, despite the forum being quite a wide and eclectic mix of characters, wealthy and not so wealthy, wise and not so wise, light hearted and grumpy, newbie and salty sea dog, british and international.

Many years ago a group of our more contrary members decamped to Facebook - and set up a Ribs and Ribbing group there - as posts aren’t really archived there they must enjoy having the same conversation every week. Perhaps you could see if anyone there has had good experience with the company you are trying to find out about/promote?

Help comes in many shapes & form. Sometimes people don’t realise that they’re even being helped at all.[emoji6]

I've helped many a client to the door...
