(Im)patiently waiting

#1 Post by zoom650 » Fri Apr 25, 2014 9:43 am

Eleven weeks ago, I ordered my tritoon. My dealer took delivery on it Friday of last week. We close on the boat and I take delivery this coming Tuesday.

Should I mention I'm damn excited!

Pictures real soon.

Yippppeeeee!

I tend to agree. It was promised 4 weeks ago.

Have you gone to the dealership, and touched it yet?

No, I have not. If the dealer was not 2 hours away, I would have though.

We have confirmed 9:30 Tues morning on their sales dock. My luck the weather now forecasts pouring rain. The sales guy better bring his rain gear; I'm bringing mine.

zoom... you're in Macon.... where'd you buy it? What are you getting?

i live about 1 hour north of macon... just off exit 201, I-75...

and i agree.... if you didn't buy in macon, or in perry... your boat stealership is 2 hours away or more.

but... pictures tell the tale....

Hey, maybe I jinxed myself by putting the boat description in my signature before actually taking delivery. I ordered the Harris Solstice 220 from Singleton Marine, Lake Lanier on Feb 10.

I promise I WILL post pictures! The sales guy has promised pictures of unwrapping the shrink wrap for a week, but hasn't delivered. He really ought to learn to quit promising customers things he does not follow through on.

Originally, I thought I'd be playing on the boat by now. Since that didn't happen, I've holed up in the mountains of SE Tennessee in a buddy's cabin, eating well and drinking many shots of tequila. The night is still young! The woods are quiet, the Internet satellite signal is sketchy, and the temperature feels great. Just about time for night jeep ride in the woods!

Tuesday is gonna tell the tale!

Till then, cheers!

Might be all that tequila he's drinking? The distillation of agave has been known to cause hallucinations.

An end to this post!

Pictures posted in this section .. so it really did happen!

All these bad storms delayed delivery another day. But we braced for more rain and drove up to finish writing that big check. The weather barely cooperated today, so we left the boat on Lake Lanier for now and are going back up for Saturday and Sunday fun on the lake!

Stay tuned in May for Memorial Day week adventures in Destin featuring alcohol fueled bead-flinging from Crab Island.

Followed by the second week of June in Panama City Beach, whose reputation speaks for itself.

Cheer!
