Had a nice visit with the new boat today to finish up the deal (pay) and have a look and my very own 2275 GCW. The dealer took the shipping cover off and has unwrapped all the pieces so I could have my first look. Didn't get a look at the motor, was still in the box behind the boat.
Everything looked great in the poor lighting of the work shed. They anticipate having the boat 90% ready by the weekend, can't do the last of their work until the water gets a bit less stiff on the lake. Still a couple of feet of ice out there.
In my quick inspection I found one of the wave-shield plates not properly installed (basically a bit crooked) and while it normally wouldn't have caused me troubles it was right under the port side swim deck extension so it was protruding from the underside of the swim deck by a quarter of an inch or so. No big deal, just an adjustment.
Fit and finish looked fine and the upholstery was top notch.
Anything disappointing? Just the placement of the very cheesy plastic horn. It's up under the starboard side deck edge at the bow. I noticed it because it hangs quite a bit below the line of the deck edge. I'll grab a picture of it before I remove and relocate it. Where it is right now will allow it to drown easily with the first few big bow waves. The dealer was surprised it was under there. I guess the horn used to be hung on the starboard side of the playpen near the helm?
That's it for now, a few pics are up. I'm really liking the Co-Captains Lounge and the Walnut Matte finish I selected for the wood trim.
