OK the whole family has a question and I cannot find the answer so maybe someone here knows? Our boat is schduled to be started tomorrow and what we all want to know is how long does it take to build at the factory??

from what i have been told, somewhere around labor day kidding.

from what i was told around 3 weeks, then of course having the boat shipped from the factory to the dealer and then probably a few more days for them to go over everthing and detail that bad boy.

It takes 5 to 6 days to build the boat. Depending on the dealer it might take a week to get the boat in. After that the dealer should be able have it prepped in a day or so as long as nothing major is scheduled to be installed. Your dealer should be able to track the boat's progress day by day.

Jon,

I called my salesman today but he is off! They start on the boat tomorrow and when I checked my notes from our last conversation he said "Spray date on Feb. 25 boat to be ready by March 3 or 4th! I have not spoken to him for a month and now after what you say it must mean it will be completed around March 4th "at the factory". Then it is a 5 hours ride to the dealership! Maybe we can get her by March 8th!

I spoke to the dealership today and they said that most likely the boat would be ready by March 15th for pickup!

Z, if you keep this up your going to give yourself some kind of thingy

[zegm]

I had to call them today to try to work around G's surgery. She won't be able to go and co-sign anything so it all needs to be done before the boat gets to the dealer.

OK OK I have to defend myself, here is another lame excuse! yeah we all know that us Florida folks sometimes bash the others whose water is solid at this time of the year. For us it is the time of the year to fix the docks and sea walls and do some maintenance on the canals. I was in waders this weekend dragging floating grass islands to the shore to be disposed of. But what else do I see and hear for the last few weeks!!! Boats haulin but all over the lake, sure mostly they are bass boats out fishing but still I sit there and watch them and wish..................I wish My Moomba was here I would love to show everyone what an awesome boat I am going to have!!! Come on 2 1/2 more weeks!!!!! Help me out Bambam!!!!

Zegm:
I can describe the pickup day as orgasmic! What surgery is your better half getting. I just had my left rotator cuff scraped and repaired screwed, tied etc. last Wednesday. Check up at the doc today basically puts me out 4 more weeks before intensive rehab can begin. Only mild movement allowed right now. I hope to be ready to roll by April 19th when we plan our first trip to Lake Powell!!! It will be cutting it close but by then I should have a full 4 weeks of intense rehab. Good luck with the missus.

She had been having neck pain for the last few years. I finally told her to go see a doctor. WOW after an MRI and X-rays and some other test now she know what a pain in the neck is! She has one disc that is almost gone and the one below it is ruptured. Yeah she crashed on her KTM200 a few times, yeah she never could quite pull of trying a flip on her kneeboard and instead landed on her head and yeah she has gotten kicked in the head while sparring at Taekwondoe. But the cool thing is the surgeon that is going to fuse her next has a Nautique and his own ski course behind his house!!! He knows how much she likes to ski the course so he is going to fix her up (fuse two vertebrae together) and have her back on her ski by the summer!!! I will have to break the boat in before then though!
