2020 212X - Hello from Raleigh NC

[PBear]

Hello Everyone -- My wife and I just put down a non-refundable deposit on a new 2020 212X at Chatlee Boats in Sanford, NC. We saw it a couple of weeks ago at their boat show at the NC Fairgrounds.

We've been considering getting a boat for the last year or so, and this forum really helped in making the decision to get the 212X.

First step for us now is to find a storage place for the boat after we pick it up in late March. After that will be a Stoltz bow roller, Cobra Fins, Ridesteady, and more than likely new radial tires as we're heading up to Sunapee Lake in NH with it this summer for a couple of weeks.

Oure plan is to trailer to the lakes in the area, as well as possibly going down to Wilmington and the ICW.

Congratulations and welcome to the family!

Congrats! We got a 212x last year. It’s been a nice boat. Cobra fins have been good and I’ll be installing Ridesteady too once we get past winter here in Michigan.

Welcome.
We got our AR195 at the same boat show last year.
Originally wanted a 240, but it wouldnt fit in the garage. Wife had the requirement of no storage payment for the boat.

I know there is a place in Youngsville, NC that has good storage, even indoor if it isnt full

Thanks @symbianx for the suggestion! I forgot to put in my original post that we live south of the Crossroads Plaza area. So doing something in Youngsville is probably out of the question.

Welcome to the party! Congrats on the new boat!

There's a place quite a few of us use in Fuquay. It's rustic, but also dirt cheap. Not sure how much space they have left there. Haven't been back to see my boat in a few months. LOL!
