I've been lurking around since the boat was announced. I put a deposit down a couple days after Christmas and I wished I would have listened to my wife when she said do it a week before Christmas. I did not know the demand would be so high. To make matters worse, I called up BP and asked them if they would transfer my information to a local dealer that was only 15 minutes from me and BP was about 1:40 minutes away. The reason I did not go to the local shop was because they were closed for the holidays. Thankfully, BP transferred and returned my deposit. So I waited for the local shop to open and put down another deposit... Both quoted me the same time frame, mid February. I just cannot wait for this.
I have 4 kayaks, a couple float tubes, and a Mariner 4 inflatable boat... My wife really wanted a boat more than me so there was no issue there. This my first boat, YAY! Too nice of a package not to bite. I have been buying things for it since Dec. I set a budget and still trying to pick out a nice console FF, I wanted to put a new on the deck as well...
I am very happy to see so many people getting one.
