Annie and I left home (Bay Area, Ca) headed for Everett Wa with Annie Time in tow. We made it to central Or where we stopped for fuel. I noticed the bow seat did not look right. I got on the boat and found there were 2 issues. One- the bottom of the front bow seat was completely missing and two- the middle eye brow screws had completely backed out. I tightened up the eye brow screws. On the seat, the bungee holding the seat down had let go at some point, then wind tore the low part of the seat off the boat. No idea when or where. Tied it down and moved on up the highway. Next morning I made a call to Ranger Tugs and let them know I was in need of a bottom seat plus hardware. They called me back later that day and said to stop by the factory in Kent they and would have everything ready to go. Got to love the support we get from these folks.

So 2 lessons learned. Check the condition of the bungee before towing and check closer for loose screws. They do back out from all the shaking going on while towing and boating.

Sorry to hear about your issue, but thanks for passing on your advice!

I'll second the appreciation for the factory support!

Heading up for the rendezvous?
 
Yes we are going up for that.
