Robert, Just wanted to touch base with you after having GPLINK onboard the 68′ Hatteras, Gulf Rascal for the last 6 months. I can’t tell you how happy we are with the system and the service. For me, my boss and anyone else we choose, to be able to constantly monitor the systems and movements of the vessel is truly amazing. On more than one occasion you have personally called my cell phone to advise me of an alarm. Once, while in the boatyard in Puerto Rico, you advised us of AC power loss. Your heads up to me on that problem saved us literally thousands of dollars in spoiled meat and bait. That one incident alone paid for the install and the service. Certainly use me as a reference in the future to recommend GPLINK. Hats off to you and the GPLINK team. I’m looking forward to future enhancements and our use of your system.
Best regards, Capt. Billy Borer

GPLink Monitoring Saves Fishing Team Thousands of Dollars
Jarrett Bay Custom Sportfish with gplink Monitoring
In addition to the current list of custom and production sport fishing boats currently using the gplink service, we are proud to announce the addition of the Jarrett Bay sportfish, Waste Knot to the gplink fleet. The 67 ft, custom North Carolina built sportfish has been very active in fishing tournaments from North Carolina to Florida and Mexico – most recently winning the 2010 North Carolina Governor’s Cup.
The gplink system has been well received within this community of boat owners to help track fuel usage and to help spot potential problems before a big tournament or trip. With the gplink system, owners can track the current location of their yacht before traveling to join the crew and fish the tournament. As word spreads on the docks, we look forward to the profile gplink can add to the top tournament battlewagons.
Alarm Sensors Installed on a Ritchie Howell
As we progress the gplink service we’re hoping to bring you periodic information on noteworthy yachts and installations we make from time to time. A few weeks ago we completed a full monitoring installation on the 60′ Ritchie Howell, Canyon Runner, a tournament-proven custom sportfish yacht.
In addition to the core satellite tracking and engine monitoring, she receieved a full compliment of RF sensors which will provide status reports and alarm notifications for smoke, AC power & bilge water levels. These sensor units are designed to be as unobtrusive as possible, and require infrequent periodic maintenance.
The gplink system has also been installed on the 62′ Ritchie Howell, Volatility. These discerning owners have recognized the value of monitoring their boats’ location and critical systems, and we wish them luck and tight lines!
