But seriously, it's good to know how things work. I'm still learning the Garmin screens.
My phone rang at a funeral because I thought I had turned off the ringer, but had turned down the volume, and I have an iPhone 6 that I purchased new.
Also this week, I found out how to use automatic headlights dimmer on a 2013 Mercedes I've owned almost 3 years.
Sometimes I wish our Cobalt was in the garage so I could learn things.

Ordered a R8 Outboard this week and only heard "next summer" so far. Not very encouraging. The discount was terrible, but we want the boat, and used boat prices are just ridiculous.

Even that doesn't help much. I can't figure out how to turn the engine on 😂😂

I sure hope so. I ordered a 22 KR F250 in May as well and mine arrived the first week of September so congrats, they are hard to come by!

BBP can give you some tips.
Yes
1-lower your tower before backing into your garage 😂😂

:lol: :lol:
That is pretty funny! Also, funny is my R7S would fit in my 12ft overhead door without lowering the tower. The R6S my dealer had sat much higher on the trailer so I am pretty sure it will need to be lowered to get into my toy box!

I've read the thread on people still waiting on deliveries of their 2021s and at least one person that ordered last month was given a delivery of later than me.

Obviously it's just a guestimate, but curious what others that have placed orders with deposits down have been told about delivery dates?
Hey!

I don't know what this means on timeframe for the 2022 R8 we ordered back in July however I got a text from the dealer saying that they were given the serial numbers for the boat, engine and outdrive. He stated that they expect by the end of month. I was expecting after the first of the year timeframe personally. We will see which is right. Being in Southeast Texas I will be getting it in the water come "hell or high water"!! haha!

Good luck!

Great news! Be sure to post plenty of pics. Do you happen to know what the spray date was for the gelcoat?

22.2% off on on the R4 I ordered with many options, I’m happy about it. They seem unhappy about it now for some reason.

Can't be that unhappy about it or else they wouldn't have agreed to sell it to you ;)

I’ve wanted to add some thing on, but they are not wanting to give the same discount, and saying the deal is already skinnier than they like. It seems like any add on to a deal would add to the margin so why not do it? If you already sold one of your build spots, why wouldn’t you want to make more on it? So they offer the add ons with 20% off take it or leave it. Some I added, some I haven’t yet.

Garttx,
That is great looking boat! I love the interior and exterior color combination that you chose. I can't wait for my R8 to come in! I just heard from the dealer today that it is still in progress. I see that you have a McClain trailer. Do you happen to know the overall length of the trailer and boat combo?

Thanks so much. These were pictures the dealer sent me… I will be more than happy to get the measurements for you. The dealer was really nice about getting me the McClain trailer. I will update once I get my hands on it haha!
