Dealer emailed me this morning. They got a shipping notification - my boat will leave the factory tomorrow. It may make a stop or two to drop other boats but my July 2nd delivery is on schedule at this point. BR

Keep us posted and here’s hoping you’re back on the water soon!
The dealer just emailed to tell me that my boat will ship tomorrow (June 20th). That is pretty close to the scheduled June 17th. It should be here next week. Any update on yours?

Well, damn. Way to rub it in :lol:

Looks gorgeous. The hull is black, not blue, right? Also, any idea what that small screen is aft of the shifter?

Congrats again. You’re close!

The hull is black (Ebony) with “Knock Out Red” edge stripe. The screen by the throttle is the Volvo EVC system. I believe all of the functions are duplicated in the Garmin glass cockpit system, but don’t know that for certain.i did the tower white (it’s covered with black foam for shipping). I thought it would look “lighter”

you are correct Bob. It is the NEMA network readout. I just leave mine on the hr meter because I get everything else from the garmins. Looking good sir! I bet you are dancing around the house waiting for delivery.

I’m pleased it’s on time. I have the week of July 1st off at the lake with the family, so it will be nice to have the boat.

Sounds like a good time will be had by all. The break in process isn't to terrible. Just don't travel at constant RPM's for more than 5-6 minutes at a time for the first 10hrs.

Thanks. I had to do the same last year with my new 210. After the first 5 hours, I think I can pull my 12 year old. She weighs 65 Ibs. :)

Well today was exciting. Was supposed to be my ship date. Got a call from the dealer around 9:30am, and he said “your boat just got here”. Needless to say, was pretty excited. Loaded up the boys, and headed up there (about 1 1/2 hours away) to see the boat and get the registration paperwork.
