35. I land in Chicago only to get a message from Chris Hamlin from Prestige Marine. Says he needs to talk to me. I know it’s not good news. He tells me that on his way to take out the boat he sheers the starboard propshaft, and lost the prop (obviously) – and that he recommends replacing the port side propshaft too as the vibrations may have caused issues there…I call Eliminator (Jake) and my dealer, as I obviously don’t think I am liable for this breakage. I have a full one year warranty – and I am already not happy that I paid out of my pocket for 2 new props 3 days prior because we threw a blade on Thursday. So now, Elim, Prestige and my dealer in discussions to decide who should cover this…I am hoping in true Eliminator form, this gets fixed and my boat is here in NY ready to be in the water next week….but we’ll see.
Just got the word - in true Eliminator fashion they are handling the drive issues. This is why I continue to buy Eliminators, I love their product and have been very pleased with the service I have received from their dealer network and the manufacturer - Hope to have my boat in the water here in NY next week. C'mon warm weather!

Yup - I was on a plane on my way home and while Prestige Marine was taking my boat out of the water they sheered the prop shaft on the starboard side.
Fortunately Eliminator is handling it under warranty...

That's pretty cool to hear about your experiences there. We spoke for a bit in line before the registration and the drivers meeting and I mentioned Memorial Weekend as being crazy. Well, in all my years coming hear I have to say that I spoke to soon. This was just crazy in a much different way. There were probably more boats than I have ever seen on the lake at one time Saturday afternoon. Not as many people over all, but definitely more boats. I will say that the many holiday weekends I spent here in my youth prepared me well. Didn't have any mishaps or near mishaps, but that just comes from knowing what to avoid. Hope to see you out there next year.

After maneuvering through the traffic on Sat - I needed 4-5 shots to chill. I have never seen anything like that. I was able to enjoy much more once I got beached on the channel and was a spectator...
