[C320-list] Catalina Lead Recovery or Crappy Dealer Support?

Hi Guys,

This may seem like a strange question (but you come to expect that
from me). Is Catalina America booming? Is Catalina leading a recovery
in the USA? Why you ask?

Well, 5 weeks ago I asked the Australian Catalina dealer to give me a
price on some new boats, and given that I have 3 already, I thought he
would understand that I was not just tire kicking. But even after
several emails asking for the info, I have not received any info or
prices. Now, I know if I had asked the Bavaria/Bennie/Jeneatue/etc
dealers, they would have been falling over themselves to help. The
Fountain Cat guy flew interstate just to show me his boat.

So I can only assume that either the Australian dealer is so busy on
other things that he cannot be bothered, or that Catalina US has told
him to not sell any boats, because they are unable to make them
quickly enough to satisfy the local market, let alone the Australian
market.

Maybe I should look at a Euro Boat?
