I hope it has a built-in drool catcher because that is a beauty and I would be slobbering all over her. :)

They are delivering it on Saturday if the weather is good and will do a demo for me. I just hate that it will be next year before I can really get out and play. I will take more pics when they deliver it. Those were taken with my Iphone so I will take so better pics this weekend.

Congrats! Enjoy the new ride, even if it is just going out in the garage and drinking a beer in her.

I am in Alabama. It tends to get a little cold here. would not mind going for a ride but doubt I will get in the water.

You'll have a lot longer season than most of us. If your weather is anything like ours, you definitely have some opportunities to at least go take her out for a few spins around the lake. Our water is already in the low 50's, so a wetsuit is pretty much a given. How cold do your waters get down there?

Sweet, wax it before you get it out. Have the vinegar and water ready for the wipe down. You will need it with all that black. Trust me, I am yellow on black.

Wax it, then wax it again, then wax a third time, just for fun. The more the better. I've never done the vinegar and water...always used Meguiar's Quick Detailer. The key is a good wax job...wait, did I say that already? Also, wipe it down at the lake before you drive home. Doing those things essentially prevents waterspots.

So your saying I need to wax it? j/k I love black but I know the biggest problem is keeping it clean. My wife has a black Tahoe so it already keeps me busy. But when you have it cleaned up it looks so good. I will have to take pictures of me towing the new boat home behind the Tahoe. Black on black. The water gets cold here pretty fast. I think it is already mid to high 50's. But we do get a few more weeks of good weather to at least go boat riding in. But now I have to wait til next year to really get out. It will be worth the wait I hope.

Get yourself a wetsuit. 50's water with 60's-70's air temp is do-able with a wetsuit. If my boat wasn't torn down, I'd probably be out here and there right now, especially this last weekend when we were in the low 70's. Last year we started up at the beginning of April with the wetsuits.

X2 on Roswell. They replaced my board racks also. The new swivel is so much nicer than the earlier ones they had.

Nice looking boat....

Great looking boat! You are going to love that ride.... it throws a fantastic wake, especially if you upgrade to the larger 750's in the rear lockers. Make sure and contact Roswell about the swivel racks, they are defective and will replace them for you with a much better setup. It took 3 months for them to get me mine, so I would recommend calling them sooner than later... ask for Scott in the warranty department, he will take care of you.

Congrats again! sweet looking boat.....

I also contact Scott to get mine replaced. Only took about 1 month to get my new ones with the pin instead of the plunger. They must not be as backed up this time of year. Haven't put them on yet, but looks real simple, bolt on. They do seem to be a lot more solid!!

Bad ass lookin boat Side, welcome to the club, any plans for a wrap or partial ?

Trust me, you will be counting down the days for warmer weather.... or maybe you are one of the lucky ones that can boat year round! Temps are cold here now, I was able to keep wakeboarding until October 12th this year. Hoping to get out in March sometime, especially if I break down and get a couple dry suits for the family.

Congrats again...
