After a long wait, my pretty heavily optioned 2017 2250 GPD is here. Some cool changes for 2017 too. 

Of course with my luck, after a week in the mid 80's we have 6" of rain coming starting tomorrow evening through Sunday and fizzling out Monday. So, I won't pick her up until Tuesday next week, but at least is looks like clear weather! Not hot enough to swim, but at least I can get use to my first boat a little.

I've not seen it unwrapped yet but I did walk around it.

Only concern so far is that there are scuffs/scratches on the pontoons and I have sharkhide applied from the factory. Aside from aesthetics, is that a problem for the protective barrier? 
 
Congrats! Now, make sure you supply us with plenty of pics (after the wrap is removed). :D
 
Rip it open I cant stand it!!!! :D
 
Specs? Congrats!

RGB = Color changing LED lights. It's not longer "Blue Ice" in 2017. I can control the color of all lighting except for the bimini lights which are white. My only problem is that Bennington had an issue with the RGB under water lighting, so they shipped my boat with white under water lights. They will supply the color changing lights once they come up with a reliable fix. 

Another notable 2017 change was that they no longer offer Kicker and Wetsounds speaker upgrades. They have replaced those options with the Roswell system.

Also a Vinyl material change for 2017.

Me too! They want to leave it wrapped until they can rig it, to keep it clean. They had a ton of boats arrive at the same time, and we have a heck of a storm rolling in tonight that will fizzle out Monday. (6" from Friday to Sunday alone)

My actual pick up is scheduled for 10am on Tuesday (And weather goes back into the 80's!!)
 
Dang, did you click "select all" on the build page. That's got everything! 
 
Congrats Jsn, I wasn't even sure what the GPD was so I went to the boat builder and took a look.  Very different and cool.  I have never been a big fan of the drawing of the floor plans but probably gives buyers the best look at the concept.  Would love to see some pictures of it.
