I sure hope you get some good news soon. I had a new slide in truck camper that was a mess with water leaks and trim coming off. All I got was a bunch of excuses. Rather than send it back and have them repair it, I took it upon myself to fix it. Obviously welding an aluminum hull isn't a do it your self job. I've dealt with Bowers and always had a good experience. I'd almost think that if Bowers thought the factory was going to blow the damage off as owner inflicted, they would have explained that Tracker isn't great on hull warranties to you before shipping it back. The woman you spoke to sounded like a real doozy though. Hopefully when Bowers calls, she will have taken her meds that day!

Has Bowers been able to provide you with any information regarding repair or replacement of your hull? Did Bowers pull the motor before they sent it off?

Personally, I think I'd let Bowers do my talking until there comes a time you aren't satisfied with the outcome. It's the dealers responsibility to be the go between. I know you have to be anxious, but unfortunately this is probably the factory's busiest time of year.Some dealers would leave your boat sitting for a week or more for a service call. So it's not unreasonable for them not to have looked at your boat yet.

Hope they take a look at it it and say, "Scrap bin, pull a new one off the line and ship it".

Just curious, is it legal to keep the rack? Pretty sure in PA, the Game Comm will take it from you. You could pick up road kills, but had to turn the rack in. That was years ago, don't know if things changed or not.

Buying it in Allentown leads me to believe you bought it from an independent dealer rather than BassPro. I think you have a lot better chance of getting the best outcome. The independent dealers livelihood depends on good customer service and return customers. They will fight for you if needed. With BassPro shops, that's usually not the case. Your dealer has already dug into the matter, BassPro would have probably put your boat in a corner and waited for a factory rep.

Sold pending payment

Lowrance LMS 522 sonar/GPS for sale. Internal antenna. The transducer has been epoxied due the flange getting broken. Works fine, a little ugly. It takes the 200Khz model with the blue connector. I was using it with my Xi5 trolling motor ducer. I've got Garmin at the helm and want to simplify things with a Garmin up front. It's got a Fishing Hot Spots card in it. Not sure if it's just the east or whole US. $200 or B/O to your door in the US.

A member has contacted me with one for sale. Thanks!

Still looking for 1, not 2.

I have a Cannon easitroll downrigger and need a swivel base. I had a WTB post up for a Cannon base, but the fellow that contacted me said his base had a 4 inch square bolt pattern. My base has a 2.5 inch bolt pattern. Plus my mounting bracket is only 4 inches wide. Looking at a Big Jon standard mount plate that I have, I would be able to drill my Cannon base to fit a Big Jon swivel base. So if anyone has a Big Jon swivel base for sale, please PM me with a price. thanks, Ron

Thanks, I've got some of them. Didn't know if anyone was pulling spinners and worms.

I'll be fishing the river on the Canadian side, from the bridge west to Gan starting Thursday. Anybody care to share what you are running off your BB's?
