I'm about to head over to Ft. Walton Beach to pick up my new E Series! I'm pretty pumped and can't wait to take the first cruise. I'll be putting pics up in this thread and giving my impression of the new boat compared to my '07 AR230. I'll post in here again soon!

^^^ HAHA. I actually was out doing the break-in procedure w my girlfriend. She drove a little bit and says it's so much easier to drive. LOL. I agree. More responsive especially at low speeds. When you give input through thrust or steering it moves to where you want it. Was a little nervous pulling onto the trailer but hit it right on the first shot. Love this boat so far and yes it's a huge step from my '07 for sure. Love all the LEDs. Some small things I noticed so far. I'll have more of a review up after the weekend. Thanks again guys. I'm so blessed and lucky to be able to have this boat!

Great boat!! Looks good. Don't forget to change out that bow roller ASAP!! My boat got scratched up just driving it home from the dealer.

I'll get a new bow roller today. Making the rounds to get the essentials like lines, buoys, bow anchor, life vests, etc. Thanks for the tip!
