Maybe since we never had a summer it is starting now??? Weirder things have happened.

80's today and then the rains from Karen. We can use the rain. Went to dinner with some friends on the toon Wednesday and we just about had the lake to ourselves.

Mid 80's yesterday and low 80's today. 2 good days on the Benni. Hopefully next weekends nice yet, then it's fair game for our dealer to pull it out. Hopefully they pull it as close as possible to end of month, so we can be one of the first in the water in the spring .... oh man, is it gonna be a long 5 months !!!

 

[lakeliving]

Time to get this going again for next spring!!! We're going to need some periodic updates to give us all some optimism!

Bummer, it's official, dealer emailed me last night, boats pulled, sleep tight my sweet Benni, see you in the spring ......

Only 152 days until I get my first boat.  Ordered a 2075GL, 150HP with just about all the options.  Dealer said it will probably come in in the next month or so but I don't take official delivery until April 1st. I can't wait.

Congrats on the new toon and welcome to the forum. There are a few of us waiting for new boats to come in, and a lot of members dying for spring to get here so you'll fit right in! 

 

[dasalmon]

Congrats !! Can't imagine having a new boat setting at the dealers waiting for spring. Talk about ANTSY

Congrats, and remember,

1. Do a complete walk through and check every switch, light, horn, gps/fishfinder, etc ..... (Better to find out now than in middle of lake)

2. Do not sign any possession, finance, delivery, ownership papers till you perform #1

3. ENJOY (this is mandatory) !!!!!

Update request on the timeline. I talked to the dealer today and the boat should be in this Thursday. We're going to go look at it Sat and I need to know how long I'll be pacing at our water line waiting for open water again.

Nice boat you're waiting for -- a lot like mine, in the same situation!
