Need help with Boat Electronics Retrofit

Post by StogieMan »

After doing some soul searching I have decided to keep my 2018 boat instead of buying a new one. That said I want to retrofit the boat with an electronics upgrade. The scale of this project would be beyond my ability so the question is in Northern Ca, can anyone recommend a place that has the expertise to fully re-rig a boat system?

MT,
Who dies the rigging at Boatmasters do you know?

To be clear as to why I am looking for experienced electronics installers, this would be a total system change so all new wire harness, black boxes, connections, 3 or 4 new graphs and a TM.

The expense will be substantial and I do not want any shortcuts on the installation.

I don't know but my dealings with them have been excellent. They have a good reputation. I would call and ask to speak with Tanner about what you're looking to do. He knows his way around a bassboat and I'm sure you'll feel confident about their service after talking to him.

C and C Newcastle did my updated electronics install. Very happy with their work. Now if I could only catch the fish I see would be great.

I made a call this morning to Boat Masters and confirmed they are closing up at the end of this month.

Sorry to hijack the thread, does anyone know why Boat Masters is closing their doors? they kept my FICHT running for 20 years until I moved.

They always had a 6 week wait, but when your boat was scheduled the work got done promptly. Their Livermore location was such an improvement from their Dublin location. Really good guys.

My thoughts, Exactly! They worked on my boat twice with very good work done each time! Hard to imagine that shop would fold???

I was in Boatmasters recently and was told the owner of the property had a new use for it. At the time they also told me they hoped to reopen at a new location in Tracy.
