What to expect upon delivery.

Well, there’s a lot of reasons for people to want to stay OUT of IL, I’m stuck here 6 more years until I become a Texan by choice. If we could only kick Cook county out of the state it wouldn’t be so bad lol...
 
Years ago, work took me out of WI and into IL. Lived in Hanover Park and Schaumburg. That's the extent of the nice things I have to say about IL ;)
 
Ok guys just an update...set my delivery date, picking her up April 12th! 11 days and counting....

You son of a... I'll be picking mine up on April 23. You're so close, you can taste it. NICE!

I’m literally salivating here lol. Yeah man like I mentioned I put the deposit on her right after Labor Day last year. It’s been a LOOOOONG winter. Honestly, if I didn’t have so much I want to install I probably would have waited a week or two, but this way I get her home and can install the transducer, VHF, work out where I’ll stow everything, etc. I also have decided to start a kind of diary/build thread over on the FSH section, just documenting some of my upgrades and experiences, if anyone cares to follow along. Look for that post to start in the coming week or so.
