congrats! guessing its pretty cool up your way. I had my 215 out a couple weeks back and even though outside temps were 30 deg., on the water we needed long pants and sweaters, and I'm 4hrs south of you
They had no leg to stand on really, the dealer opened the factory seal in front of me and A. the boat was the wrong colour, but I didn't care and fell in love with that bumblebee look straight away.....but importantly, an entire section of rear chair was missing and the upgraded scarab mat was too.....it should all arrive today and we've been able to use the boat as a family regardlesss....bur very frustrating. They are also sending me two extra "SCARAB" decals for the side of the boat for free in case I scratch anything as a new owner....that's a nice, pretty expensive touch to add on top of the partition and table.
It's been not so bad to be honest Paul. Definitely not pleasant for tubing or water sports yet but lake Nipissing warms up very, very quickly due to it's shallowness and by August, is one of the warmest lake in Canada with water temp at over 20c! We obviously pick our days carefully since It's a substantial body of water and the waves on it can be absolutely ridiculous since It's so shallow (Average depth only 15 feet but lake is 80km across) But we live on the lake only a 5 minute walk from the Marina where I decided to put the boat in instead of trailer it, so going out is literally looking out the window and deciding........definitely going out today! hahacongrats! guessing its pretty cool up your way. I had my 215 out a couple weeks back and even though outside temps were 30 deg., on the water we needed long pants and sweaters, and I'm 4hrs south of you
you learn to adapt! usually when its cold out I leave the bow cover on and it helps. our season is short so we make the best of it..... seems like Scarab made good, a free table, bow filler and graphics is very generous!
can you share a photo of where exactly? I have to actually pull mine out of the water today or tomorrow since the damned "SET" button for the IST doesn't bloody work now. haha.....best to laugh right?
I will go down there later and take photos of the windows from front and back and see if that helps you at all. I'm having trouble with Rec Boat as a company right now. My missing parts arrived and some lunatic at the factory typed in the wrong serial number and the missing parts that showed up were the wrong colour and for a smaller boat (195)
Oh It's all being mega over night FedExed now........My dealer showed me the mistake someone made there, it was literally one little typo when they copied th serial number into their system to pull up our boat and came up with a 195 blue one instead. Rec Boats really screwed the pooch on this, but at the same time I'm 100% being looked after too.....will post all the details of it all when It's all resolved. Not fair to bitch too much before It's resolved PLUS I know they are dealing with it and are very embarrassed this happened. Also, I haven't forgotten about your photos!
hey , few qs? Im
