Hello all. Just joined. I've been following along for the last 2 months. My wife doesn't want to talk about boats anymore with me so I figured I'd finally join this crew since there is no shortage of enthusiasm on the topic in this forum. Currently waiting on a build date, I've had my order in since the Detroit Boat show back mid Feb. I made a change about a week after it was originally ordered to upgrade from 90 to 115, then about a week and a half ago the dealer sent me the order confirmation from Bennington...Still no build date. Originally we were told 8-12 weeks so I was thinking Mid May latest.
As it's been commented on this forum there is a delay in the supply chain somewhere and my dealer is now estimating Early June.
Sold my prior pontoon about a month ago. We have friends and neighbors with boats we can use and spend days on but you know it's not the same. The boat we ended up ordering is 23 GSB...Just went with 2 toons vs 3 since we live on a smaller inland lake in SE Michigan (about 600 acres) so we really aren't after the speed or watersports...with this boat just wanted to spend the funds up top....Kids wanted things that glow, Wife wanted flooring upgrade, I wanted the Sport interior....It's amazing how quickly the upgrades add up...But I don't think I have to tell you all about that.
I love seeing the photos especially the new ones being built, unwrapped and being delivered. I'm hoping my dealer is just under promising so he can wow me at the end.
I do have a question....How long after receiving the order confirmation from Bennington until I should expect a build date...Any Ideas or estimates?
