I am thinking of visiting it this weekend! I don't think prep includes oil...it does include unloading from the truck, batteries and installing them, raising the tower, installing seat cushions, and cleaning, and testing the all the functions - which all told takes 8 hours....
My dealer credited me a good price on the 2 OEM batteries and allowed me to bring to them the 2 (better) batteries I wanted installed.
I went with AGM's from Sears

I went to the dealer to photo and video mine coming off the truck. Kinda weird but how many times I. You life will you buy a brand new boat! I was lucky in that a friend happen to see the truck on the highway and said he saw a big black and white Yamaha on th truck so I boogied down to the dealer only 20 minutes away. As far as purchases the Stoltz and keel guard would by #1 and 2 for me. My bow was also scratched just from the drive home from the dealer. I've seen a couple people on here that have ripped their keel OFF hitting something in the water, I think the keel guard may have helped. Some said they barely felt the hit.

Yeah, y'all could probably pick it up and float it right down here to pick me up. I think Dallas is going to be shoreline shortly.

Hummm.....interesting idea! I was thinking of going down there to look at her longingly...but I think I'll resist (I was hoping to have my stoltz bow roller in by now...but shipping was slow, so that, the tire cover and name application will have to wait!
