Somebody Out There's Going To Be Happy Today :-)

Oh no Joes cashing in some of that pirated gold to go down under and plunder.   Hopefully travel restrictions will loosen up by then.  

Thomas.... i think part of the issue with repairs is the visibility.   Most testing goes on and changes are made with NDAs.   So by time these machines hit the street the companies hope they have MOST of the bugs worked out.  We have seen changes being made.... so hopefully the machine will be even better.  Im hoping water noise can be cut some.  I think having that coil connector in the front could be part of the issue.  You dont get nearly the vibration of the cable from water displacement when its on the side nearer the shaft.  I still would have liked to seen a 9 or 10" coil rather than the 8.

Hi Dew, I think it’s the other way around. I believe Tony is taking Joe up on his offer to take anyone interested in his spot.

Hopefully you will have lots of tourist this season to cash in on as people are tired of the lockdowns which are eased up a bit in Florida. You have a fine governor I think. Good luck to you......

Please Joe...Tell me more about the Excal Dynamite battery...?

I won't be making them for sales. Just me playing around. The Excalibur battery pictured ran for 4 days straight (106 hours) but it runs Hot, (4 18650 Samsung 3500mAh 16.8) which I am afraid might not be good on some days or machines. So Another one with 26650 batteries is planned but lower voltage. Steve sent me his extra EBL 5000mAh, so a 3 cell will be next but with the big batteries, 12.6 volts.

I got an email today from Fisher.  They said they have AQs available for me to purchase!

Now ... how should I reply?  haha

Wait for the summer to happen!

Just the time to see if the final type will appear on the table.

In a way or another, thanks to the italian dealer I'm in partnership with, I'll get one to test and to produce some Footages.

If the meat will be of some value for me, the item will stay there in my home.Otherwise...Friends like before.

I got one as well.  But I had to pass for the reasons I mentioned previously.  I am wondering .... what if people don’t like the price on the new machine think Fisher would still let loose of some limited ones which obviously won’t have upgrades?  Maybe Thomas or Joe can tell us how that 8” compares depth and noise wise in the water?  Joe you still got a “shut my mouth” rule?  Ya know I didn’t ask.... but I wonder what the price of the limited might be with the 8” coil over the standard.... or if they would even do that?

I got one also and I already bought two haha. They must be going down the old list. That’s good though I think.  Hi Dew, Joe has his grandkids down so he is off the radar a bit. I’m sure he might take a min to check in just not regular. I would call Fisher and ask them. I am not sure how they are selling them. The way my mail read was $1499 for the AQ, one battery, phones and standard coil and $299 for the additional 8” coil. Both coils work well and have there place as you know. I think I saw a post by someone here using his 8” coil and said that it was deep. I always am scared to give depth in inches as I water hunt mostly and i use 3 scoops deep or whatever. Maybe I’m off a bit so it’s a guessing game sorta. Anyway the other guy says it’s deep. Joe loaned me his to give a shot but I have not done any air test with it. With all the gold down your way, I would think you could buy the limited and get it paid for by the time the newer machine shows up and then decide what to do. What I can say now, is that I am very happy with my AQ and noise is not a problem for me. Good luck to everybody.

Some weeks ago Fisher decided that the remaining production of AQ Limited units should be sold directly by them. As part of the agreement under which Fisher and I documented ending my role as sole dealer of the AQ Limited, I forwarded to them my list of registered potential buyers. On the same spreadsheet were the details on those who had asked to be withdrawn from the list as well as those who had already purchased AQ’s.

The agreement was satisfactory to to me and included compensation to me for providing the prospective buyers list and confirmed my ongoing role as a Fisher dealer.

What I 'meant' was is this my opportunity to outline to Fisher the problems I had with mine and the reason why it cost me money?  Should I tell them about their customer service and ... I'm quite an unhappy, unsold former customer and I feel they never heard or addressed my complaints.  

It is obvious that the new AQ team at Fisher has not read this forum.  They should.
