Re: Picking up the boat on saturday...
Ok....Home and well! Sorry, had to wait until I was back at work today to post pics and give ya the info! Had to help the in-laws move all Sunday...
Anyway, got to the dealer at around 10 am Saturday. Signed off on everything (registration, paperwork etc.) and then did the in-water test. Two things before we even get in the boat...tach isnt working properly, and they have the wrong pitch on the prop. Supposed to be 21, they gave me 19.
So we dig around everything before it is launched to test, and everything else is perfect. Clean under the cushions, spotless engine compartment, everything matches and is in order. Stereo/cd/satellite works, all lights, switches, blowers...everything. Spent a good 20 minutes just doing this. Put the bimini up and down, etc...
So we launch for the in-water. It is brisk (about 42 with winds of around 15-20 mph) and the bay is choppy. Didnt matter. The boat handled very very well. Was careful with wot due to prop and tach, but was satisfied all was well. Was out for a good 30 minutes.
Got back, signed off on paperwork with the notation of a new prop and tach including the labor to correct which will be done in the spring. They winterized it, they checked trailer tire pressure, checked the lugs with torque wrench, and we were off.
Got home an hour later, and took some pics. Backed her into the garage, and there she stays until the spring. Havent had a chance to play in it yet, because of the busy weekend, but will be doing that tomorrow night before ice hockey.
SOme pics. I will get more tomorrow in the garage, and over the winter as I do some customizations with graphics. I plan on peeling off everything on it and doing my own thing.
