Ya know, i really need to instal these things. After i put the tower back on. And build a new battery setup. And....
Dang forums... i got bimini to go to people!
 
I'm really kicking myself for taking my wife to New Orleans for her birthday last year instead of taking my family and boat to Panama City Beach
(and leaving the boat with @JetBoatPilot for testing).

Harsh loss --- #lifelessons, #firstworldproblems
 
You should come visit sometime!

We just did Will....about 5 weeks ago. I bought SeaDek for the console.

BTW - great display of the Lateral Thrusters on your desk. Really helped move the conversation along with the wife.
 
Cool now I remember you guys.
 
Great video will.. . Think how nice it will look when you remake it in bimini. Specifically the June trip. (That's when the cool kids are going). !!
 
I'd love to go. Pretty tough to get away during busy season for a week. One year it's going to happen!!!

Deligate! Lol . And if a set of thrust vectors accidentally is sent to me by your employees at no charge just ignore it as a billing error!
 
Actually had something similar to that happen a few weeks ago. Some guy called in and changed his thrust vector color and the ticket for the original and the new both shipped. We reached out to him to see about paying for the return shipping and getting them back but he ignored us and put them on FB for sale....grrr
 
No but thought it was pretty low rent to ignore us and then take advantage of our mistake. We don't treat people that way and feel that wevew demonstrated that enough to have been shown respect.

I don't think that's even a question to most of us here will.. Most if us would have handled it differently.

I AGREE!!

We would've used eBay;)
 
Wow, that's pretty shitty. I received the wrong color seadek from you (not your fault, apparently my boat is an oddball), and shipped them back right away. I wouldn't mind if a pair of lateral thrusters found their way into my box when the new color ships (or even a coupon towards them ;) )! I couldn't even imagine not working with a vendor in a small community like this. I'd flag his name in your system for future orders.
 
Already done! thanks guys.
