After being mistaken for a bass fisherman so many times at the show in Detroit, I wore the CDC jersey so there was no doubt.

Anyone ever heard of Pinnicle electronics and trolling motors? A friend of mine just bought a used Lund with them on it.

Never heard of them myself. How old is the boat?

I googled pinnacle and it came up in the late 80s early 90s mostly. An off brand Motorguide it appears.

Here's what he picked up...

When I got my boat back in 2002, it had a Pinpoint brand FF in it. I tho't it was made by Pinnacle Marine, which is no longer. If I remember correctly, it had GPS capabilities and a ton of buttons, but it didn't work. At that time the only place I could find that repaired them was in Dallas, and it was going to be costly so I opted for new.

Hes got the lower. The motor was overheated and the lower was taken apart to inspect, then never put back together. The buddy that bought it got it for a good enough price, that he could rebuild the motor and still be money ahead.

Hes got MinnKota and Lowrance stuff on his other boat he might switch over before he sells it. Or maybe he will buy all new. Them Lund guys have deep pockets. :-)

He wanted to know if the stuff was worth putting on eBay or something.

Please say a prayer about this: New doctor found that a heart murmur I had from youth has gotten worse. I am going to have a heart cath to determine if I need heart valve replacement. The doctor (second opinion) is pretty sure it will need to be replaced but we have to go through the tests. I did not have any symptoms, the Dr. picked up a whistle sound when listening to my heart and sent me for an echocardiogram results showed a weak aortic valve. He said it's good that they caught it early before any damage to the heart muscle. Retirement is great but "gettin old" has it's issues. From what he says he thinks this can be done with a two inch incision - not open heart. Prayers will be appreciated.
