Thanks Joe!
Yeah I am not impressed to say the least. When I brought the boat up there on 19 FEB for Minn Kota warranty work, the guys in the Service Dept went on about how they are all tournament guys and do all they can to get the boats back out on the water. When I dropped my boat off for Warranty work, I asked them to do up an estimate, they said they would. Well, they called me on 2 March and gave me a verbal estimate, so I filed an insurance claim on 5 March after they gave me a verbal quote. On 15 March the adjuster went to PYS and inspected the damage, Steve from PYS told the adjuster he still needed to type up the estimate and that he would get it to the insurance adjuster the following week.
21 March, I reach out to the adjuster to see if he received the estimate from PYS. The adjuster informed me that he had still not received the written estimate from Steve at PYS. Finally on 27 March, Steve emailed the estimate over to my insurance adjuster and myself, I replied to Steve's email and ask when I can expect the work to be started and completed. No reply from Steve PYS, I called several times over the week and no call back. I finally get a call from Steve - PYS yesterday 29 March, and he proceeds to tell me that the work is going to take 30 days to complete and that his fiberglass guys are straight out and wont be able to get in for another two weeks.
I guess they really don't follow through with what they say and do all they can to get tournament boats back out on the water.

Anyone have any recommendations on a gelcoat/ fiberglass repair company that does quality work? I brought my boat up to Portland Yacht Service on a recommendation that they do good work. Well their customer service is sub par if you want my opinion. I originally brought the boat to have warranty work done on some Minn Kota items, the guys in service were saying yeah we are saltwater boats but we are also bass tournament guys so they understand time lines to get you back out on the water.
Well I asked them to do up an estimate 3 weeks ago and it was just this past Monday that they got around to writing up the estimate for my claims adjuster. All last week the adjuster was trying to get the estimate from Steve at PYS. All last week no response. I called PYS and spoke to a lady who said she would have Steve call me back. No call on Monday called tues again no call back. Spoke to Steve today and proceeds to tell me that his fiberglass guy is booked for two weeks and probably won’t get to it until that time. Oh he then goes on to tell me that the boat will need to stay there for at least a month to let everything cure.
Honestly, This guy Steve could have told me this three weeks ago that the work would take over 30 days to do the work. Why wasn’t my boat scheduled two weeks ago??? maybe I would have it by the end of April.
Anyways .... if anyone knows a really good fiberglass repair guy I’d appreciate it

General Discussion / Tournament on Lake St Clair, Michigan for active or retired military
« on: May 03, 2016, 12:13:17 PM »
I am fishing a tournament in June on Lake St Clair. The tournament is for active or retired military members. My partner backed out on me so I am searching for a partner to fish with. The tournament is 22-23 June. 20-21 June are the practice dates. I am trailering my boat out on the 17th of June. I am following an fellow NH Angler out there. We are renting a cottage on the north side of the lake.
If there are any active or retired military that would be interested in being a co angler and fishing on one of the best Smallmouth fisheries in the country let me know.

General Discussion / Re: Interferance with my electronics
« on: March 31, 2016, 03:09:57 PM »
Thanks for the tip Don, I will give that a try, but what are you referring to by taking a piece of wire run it from the ground wire on your MK in the front of your boat ?? HB is sending me a new power cable with a choke that has a ferris built inside to help eliminate RF interference.

General Discussion / Interference with my electronics
« on: March 31, 2016, 11:44:04 AM »
I was wondering if anyone can give me some pointers on trying to fix / locate the issue of interference. I have a MK Fortrex 101 36v with built in US2 transducer. I have the HB 788ci HD connected to the US2 2d sonar transducer in the Fortrex. When I engage the TM I get severe interference. I have a HB 898 ci SI also located at the bow, but it is connected to a side imaging transducer that is hooked externally to the TM. Both units are connected to the Ethernet hub. While running the TM, I don't experience interference on the HB 898.
I have attempted to trouble shoot by attaching the 788 cables directly to the 898 and I still got interference when engaging the TM. I removed the power cable to the 788 and splice direct to a battery hoping to eliminate the battery connection. I still received interference. Next I thought could it be the Ethernet hubs, removed the 788 from the network and still interference. The only places that I have not checked is the foot control and the head unit. I am told that there is a fuse located underneath the foot control as well as in the head unit of the fortrex.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
