If you have seen my posts this week regarding my clean out plug you already know it's been a trying week.
Thought I'd share how our 195s became a reality.
We placed a deposit with a local dealer last November. Without going through all the details of lack of communication etc cetera that we are all so familiar with, let's just fast forward. In March someone here on the forum posted that their dealer had several pre-ordered boats available including a 195s grey and burgundy like the one we had on deposit. I called placed a second deposit on March 18th for a possible deliver end of April.
On May 18th the second dealer called said a boat may become available, which it did the next day. So I called my local dealer for an update, same old story we don't know anything. Called dealer number 2 and said we'll take it. Next day Thursday the 20th dealer 1 told us the our boat had been canceled. On the 26th we secured the financing and the next we drove about 10 hours picked up the boat, spent the night and drove back the next morning.
A couple of photos since I didn't have time earlier this week

I'm not going to lie. I'm jealous. I've been waiting since November. It was a stretch at the time to get the wife to agree to spend 30K on the 190. Now she would probably agree to buy a 250 if it were available. Congrats on your boat.
 
I love the grey and burgundy!

Very classy
 
Gorgeous boat! Love the colors. You have the same interior colors as my 212SE. I wanted a 19 footer but I wanted a tandem axle, so I had to get the 212. Congrats on your purchase and I hope you enjoy your new toy. Just remember what BOAT means. ?
 
Alright now get it out and enjoy it. We want water pictures!
 
Another +1 on the colors. That’s a beautiful boat that i suspect will age much better than the neon colors/crazy graphics of years past.

I'm partial to a tandem axel as well. Very familiar with "BOAT". LOL
 
Very nice colors! And love the SeaDeck on it. Thanks for the full update and the pics!
 
Hey, nice boat! Just crossed the 20 hr mark on ours!
