Bugless in Midland.

[LuckyMesscun]

Where to start? Well was fishing Basschamps this past weekend and had 3 decent fish, 30 mins before weigh in engine would not start. Just smoke like a freight train and never fire up. disconnected fuel line and cranked on it thinking it was flooded but it kept on smoking something ugly. About the time battery was fixing to die decided to try the old trick and disconnect battery cables and maybe ECM would reset or something. Thats when I noticed I took on alot of water!
BTW during all this I'm 30 miles up the Rio Grande! Put the cables back on and it fired up like nothing was ever wrong with it.
Needless to say I didnt make weigh in and I just wanted to go home so we loaded up and came back.
Took the Bug to Deans and while checking it out noticed the water came from the jackplate bolts having come loose and it damaged the area. Cosmetically lucky for me and not structurally, anyways they called Skeeter and they stood by it and just said send it and they will fix it ASAP and get me back in the water.
So I'm here without my Bug feeling like a teenager that just got dumped on by his girlfriend!
Hopefully I'll get it back before the 20th.

That really sux!!! Hope you get it back quick!!

Think I'll go out and check my bolts!!

[Stratos201Mike]

Damn Hugo that sux.... Skeeter will take care of you.......had a buddy in colorado that had a major wiring issue with his I20 and they ended up giving him a new 08 Demo I20 for the same price but had alil more extras on it and stuff....... Skeeter has great customer service.....

At least your Boat Company is still in business......

[Skip]

To be honest Mike, I'm not sure what Genmar boats or still in business. I don't think they are through shaking things up. But I got mine so I will just keep on clicking along.

[Stompy]

Hell, you weren't going to do any fishing in the next week or two anyway

[Skip]

Thats true Stompy, and to be honest Hugo may not be fishing for a couple'a months unless one of us take him.

[WB]

Hate to hear of you bad luck. Now you have a good excuse to go buy a new one. Monica would understand I'm sure.

I just might have to lower my standards a little and fish out of one of you guys boat for a while.
All my fellow Skeeter owners are exempt from this comment of course.

[WB]

It would be a postive learning curve for you.

[LuckyMesscun]

Cant fish with you cuz you'd never get on plane with my big arse.
Plus Danny would have to sit on your lap just to have a level ride.
Buahaha! made myself laugh just thinking about it.
Just messing with you buddy.

[WB]

You may be right.
Made me laugh too. Sorry dog.......

[Sirius Rich]

I was wondering what happened to you. I was looking for you at the weigh in to see how you did. Tough luck on the Skeeter.

[SkeeterBob]

LM, you are more than welcome to ride in my Bug. Maybe we can make a trip over at Champion. I bet Skeeter doesn't have your rig more than a month. They try to get a 30 day turn around on repairs. I know what you are feeling. Dennis and Skeeter will take care of the Mezzzz.

[RMcCugh61]

Hugo, Sorry to hear about your bug boat. That sux especially with you trying to get to weigh in.

[LuckyMesscun]

Oh me and my baby will be back with a vengance before we know it.
Oh and I did leave out the part of a toothache during all that also.
The goodpart was I found a dentist on Monday that came in on a freakin holiday MLK day and pulled it for me and made me feel better.
Tim Tannich in Midland, everyone remmember him if you are ever in a bind! He earned my business and gratitude!

What a deal! I'll run it by Monica and see what she has planned for us seeing that while I dont have my boat she has the reins on our plans.

[Skip]

I do understand that.
