Bahahaha red is faster !? Lol

Totally True. Ask @Rtimleck or @Scottintexas .

Glad to see you are getting a 195, I have an orange one and just pulled the trigger to trade up to a 255 HOI with twin 200's. Hope it is as good to me as my 195HOI was. These boats are extremely nice, you will love it, just be careful the first time backing off your trailer, it is much different handling than a stern drive but so much easier at the dock once you get oriented to how it responds. Just remember, whichever way you turn the steering wheel is the direction your front end will go.

Very nice

What a tease! And why do trailer manufactures insist on putting that hull destroying bow roller on their trailers??

I ordered a 2016 255 on 3/31. Did yours come per the ETA you got from the dealer? Did you experience any delays?

I was also wondering if there is anyway to check the status of the build through the manufacturer?

Glad to see you are enjoying your new boat!

Originally the dealer said 6-8 weeks . By the 6 th week I called the sales rep , asked if he had any info . Which he really didn't . Apparently the manufacturer is rather vague when it comes to completion date until the week before the completion date .
So 2 weeks before we took delivery , I finally got the call I'd been waiting for ! It took 1 week after completion date for the dealer to recieve the boat . So long story short it took 3 months total for us from order to delivery . Keep in mind dealer location and number of boats ready for shipping to your area play a role in the shipping time to the dealer .
Hope that helps you , I know it seemed forever ! Well worth the wait , we actually just pulled into the driveway a bit ago from the lake !!! Congrats on your new boat

Some more pics the day we took delivery and today . First time out other than our sea trial !

Sweet look'in Boat!!

 

[Shane Scarab]

Thanks for the reply on the timing question. I talked to the dealer today and they received a hull number! They told me first week of June...

 

[Shane Scarab]

@BMF JK i noticed you have both covers for your boat in the pictures, I am curious if you could only pick one which cover would you prefer?

 

[BMF JK]

For our use , hands down the trailering cover . Literally takes a couple minutes to put on and fit is perfect . We trailer the boat everywhere .
The bow and cockpit cover seems it would be easier to put on while boat is in water .

 

[Shane Scarab]

I ordered mine with the bow cockpit but I am going to try to have the dealer switch it, I trailer a lot too. Thanks.

I can't imagine that would be an issue . I kinda wish we would've done without the bow and cockpit cover , but now we have em both .

 

[Rtimleck]

If you leave your boat in the water overnight the bow and cockpit covers are nice to have. The trailering cover can be difficult to put on depending on your dock setup. At least that's what I found.

 

[BMF JK]

Tint done !
