I have already contacted the manufacturer of the boat via E-mail.... Still awaiting a reply. I expect to hear from them sometime early next week. I've been trying to get a hold of Fisherman's Marine in Portland and can't get anyone to answer the Damn phone.... Aren't they open on weekends? The number I have for them is (503)283-8310. Does anyone have a different number for them? I'd like to talk to somebody at Fisherman's and see what they have to say about this whole mess. I'm really not interested in going to court, or getting an attorney, but I do feel that a refund/ replacement of the boat AND my rod and reel replaced is in order. I am Soooooo pissed that I lost that rod and reel. I loved that rod and caught a ton of Steelhead with it..... That rod was kind of my good luck charm, its a shame that it had to go the way it did. I'll let you guys know what happens.
