Ordered a 212S in October 2021 and waited... In early August 2022 got the call. Though, it was a different 'the call' that we expected. We were informed that our 212S had been canceled BUT, there were two 2022s on the way and we could have our choice of the two. First one was the exact 19' boat we decided against back in October 2021. The other choice was an AR250 that was going to most likely push us in to a new tow vehicle. So, in mid to late August our brand spanking new AR250 arrives a few days before my birthday. We hit the lake a couple of times and sure enough, our original tow vehicle wasn't up to the challenge. Found a new to us tow vehicle, traded the old one in for more than we paid for it and were back in business. Hit the lake a dozen times or more with our new boat and truck combo and have been having an absolute blast! Put myself in the situation were I had to learn from scratch how to tow and maneuver a trailer with a big-ass boat. That took a bit but, I'm much more proficient with it now. Having grown up boating (not towing) I've had the absolute pleasure of introducing my 'never boated before' family to such an amazing activity and they are hooked. We've taken friends out, run the lake up and down, waisted away the day in a cove, boated under the stars, made friends with some ducks, taken amazing photos, raced other boats, cleaned trash out of the lake, and fished. Looking to do all of it again, and add tubing, road trips to more exotic locations, and a few more boat accessories to the list.
