Called the dealership AGAIN yesterday...
Just to recap from the old site, I had been on the edge of buying a boat since late Dec, finally pulled the trigger on a new 242LS early Feb and was told it'll be a "couple of weeks" for delivery. Like a kid before Christmas I think to myself "I can wait this out, no problem." Two weeks goes by and I'order a ridiculous amount of crap (from crapper / porta-poti), fins, Veve guides to battery charger) and can't wait to get to work on installs before it warms up. Well two weeks passes and no boat, three weeks and no boat, a month and still no boat. It was 72 degrees Monday, 78 Tue and 70 yesterday. At lunch I went by the lake to reserve an RV campground spot and saw several boats on the water soaking up the warm weather and my patients got the best of me. I go into full-blown boat withdrawal and have still never owned a boat!! Aggravated, I call the dealership (it's not their fault, they sell them they don't build them and cannot predict with a great deal of certainty when they will be delivered) and ask "WHERE'S MY BOAT?" They finally are able to give me a firm date - April. Really? April is not a date it's a month. That means it could be 45 more days and with my luck that's what it will be. My kids (9 & 7) have started asking "daddy, when are we going to have the boat?" I may have to rent another pontoon to ease the collective family withdrawal symptoms. LOL
