After 5 Long Months of Waiting We Have a Splash!

This past Friday was the delivery and launch of my new boat as depicted in the following photos:


The Arrival.....

The Alley Oop...

The trip to the water sorta of like a Sea Turtle hatching making its way from the beach to the sea...

The Splash...Putting on the Finishing Touches and it's New Home...

congrats, You have good balance there on the arch, putting the antennas on, or is there a ladder hiding somewhere?

Congratulations! What a great feeling it had to be to see it transfer from the lowboy to the water.

 

[320Bob]

Wow, I didn't know the arch could support that much weight.

Trust me, that was not yours truly up on the arch attaching the radar dome and antennas. It was the Skipper Bud's driver who was not a drought and famine resistance as I am!:grin:

Just a question - was the boat transported with the canvas and glass installed?

How great is that!!??? Excitement and trepidation at the same moment! What a great boating season it is going to be!! Good luck and enjoy it every moment you can.

Just a question - was the boat transported with the canvas and glass installed?

Yes,
The canvas was put on at the dealer prior to the 85 mile transport to my marina. I had the eisenglass replaced with strataglass while the boat was in heated storage over the winter. The canvas was put up just prior to delivery which I appreciated since it was 45 degrees when the boat arrived at the marina and I really would not liked having to snap it on at those temperatures.

Congrats Bob

Hope to see you in Hammond this summer!
There will be a couple of cold ones waiting for you on the 'R' Dock!
I've got about 30 more days before I splash.

Since you are boatless for the next few weeks come on down to Harborside and slum with us River Rats. There is another CSR member there with a Sea Ray 380 who should be in the water in another week or so. And yes I can provide a cold one or two!:thumbsup:
