Praying Detroit stays open for a few days

Me too.  They called me this morning to advise me that my boat is in Grand Rapids getting gel coat repairs under warranty.  I was supposed to get it tomorrow, and now it's next week.  Not thrilled with this to say the least.  To @ahopkins22LSV and @MikeR397, I'm happy to hear you're pleased with how they're handling things for you.  I can't say the same.  My boat has been there since the last week of February and this is the 3rd time it's been held up.  Also, we do have Gull Lake and the Coldwater dealers in the state.  I've spoken with Full Lake and they've said they would service my boat if needed.

Count me in too. Still working at one.

Definitely extends to the 2015 and 2016’s too.  Any of them with the screen on the right seem to have a 100% failure rate.  As far as the big main screen goes, they seem like they’re better designed and don’t fail as often - at least judging off TMC posts that is.

Great looking boat and set up.  Congrats on the new purchase!  You are going to find yourself loving all the new tech and features!  (I will spare the jokes on the Kent St flag....Can't read, can't write....LOL.  MAC educated from OH here, as well  ...)

 

Thanks!  I am an OU Bobcast myself, so I make fun of the Kent flag too, LOL.

Just picked up a 2003 VLX and I'm the third owner and have a few questions... 1. What type of lock are people using to secure tongue of the trailer? I have the ball lock and a long shanked lock  and neither will work because the head of the tongue on trailer is squared and the ball lock bar will not go all the way thru locking plate and the key lock isn't long enough to go thru receiver horizontally. Neither the ball lock nor the long shanked will work. The locks I have worked on my previous boat trailer which was a mastercraft prostar 205V but will not work on this one. 2. It came with the bimini that mounts under the tower but I was wondering does anyone make a bimini that mounts on top of the tower? 3. Can anyone tell me if this a factory tower and if so what it is called?
