Anyone have a date for their delivery, or when they plan on getting the Benny back in the water?

Call me crazy, but I just scheduled my delivery for the 2nd week in April!!!

Almanac says it's going to be a warm spring... hope they are right! 
 
Pick up my boat from storage on March 29. Off to the dealer for some service and hopefully in the water on April 4th. 67 days away.
 
I'll be lucky if the ice is gone April 1st .
 
I'm with you jack,looking at late April to early may for us. Benny at marina in northern Mn.
 
Our Marina is open "Ice to Ice" so as soon as it is out, they put the docks in 

There are the ones out all year .

Benny will be delivered May 1st 

Hopefully by then we will be 70 plus on a daily basis

Any sooner is like having that favorite piece of cake or pie in front of you and not being able to eat it

April is usually a wet month here.

Took this pic today @ 5:20 PM

I'm almost jealous of you guys up north. It was 60 degrees at my house in Salt Lake today. If it's going to be winter, I'd just assume get some snow. So far the valley floors here have only seen a few inches all year. A fraction of normal. Still can't wait for March though.

What was it last year Jack

We are hearing early spring March but time will tell

If you ever truly miss the weather up north 

We could trade homes for a week or two 

Wouldn't want you to be deprived of all this enjoyment (lol)

Bust out the snowmobile the lake is frozen and good for winter sports

Ice Fishing, ice skating, and snow shoeing awaits you 

With glass walls to enjoy the view for all !
 
It was gone Mid April ,still cold but ice was gone .
 
I always like to think that April 1 is the day my boat goes in but it is usually closer to May 1 then April 1
 
Our marina is open Memorial Day to Labor Day.
 
For the most part.
 
Kaydano, I was wrong, it is not in April closer closer to May.  I just looked at last years calendar; our docks did not go in till May 17 last year.  Ours is dependent on the water level but looking back the docks usually don't go in till early till mid MAY.  CRAP!

Last year my Dealer had it in April 1st, the opening day for docks. Let's hope he comes through again. It sucked though, cause we hit a cold spell for like 2-3 weeks and didn't get out much.   

Then again, our lake is down 8' so I hope we get some rain soon. Good thing is, if they can get down the ramp, my docks in deepest water.... :D

This was at the end of December. I need some water before I can do any boating.

whoah... is your lake low?  that seems strange.  Isn't it regulated?

Every other year they drop it 3' in the fall so you can work on your beaches/seawalls, then they bring it back up in the spring before the boating season. The lake is spring fed and dam controlled so it doesn't take long to fill it back up.
 
I guess this would be fitting here too
