What took you so long? We have been waiting quite a while!

Seriously, welcome aboard. Sweet boat!
 
Congratulations!!! We're SUPER JEALOUS!!!! We've been working on a deal on a '95 370DA since January. Tried to get it surveyed this week, with the break in the weather but no dice!! Hopefully within 2 weeks we'll have the deal done.

Again, congrats to you!! LOTS of pics soon!! Safe boating!!
 
Congrats! You'll be having a great summer!!

Did you purchase from Mau Marine? We had just bought our 190 last fall, and have yet to take delivery of it.

Are you serious about Okoboji, that is where I do most my boating also!! So good to finally see someone else on beautiful Lake Okoboji. I have been on the board for several years now and was wondering when someone will come along and be in my area. We should get together sometime...

I live in Spencer, so I have Okoboji and Lost Island to choose from. Sometimes I wish I didnt have to trailer all the time, but hey, there are some built in advantages to go along with it (like being able to choose a different lake everyother weekend)!!
 
Congratulations. Looked up Okoboji on Google Maps - is the lake bigger than it appears to be?

Yes we bought the boat from mau, we will be @pier 71 after they build the new one!! Snow collapsed the old one:smt013
But hey we will be on a brand new facility!! A very good friend of mine has a 2008 340 and we will be right next to him. As you drive from west to east lake we will be facing the bridge.

Yes it is. The lakes actually connect. The area is called the Iowa great lakes. There is actually a 58' Bluewater on the lake.
 
Cherry, maple or oak?

Congrats!

How nice is that going to be after they install a new canopy? When do you actually take delivery of your new boat?

We are taking delivery when the new pier is in. They are actually putting in a whole new dock system covered grilling decks it really is going to be nice:thumbsup:
 
Advice requested?

Wait for the water to get softer. Last time I was there, we drove out onto the lake and parked for 12 hours. When it was all over, we paid a guy to fillet quite a few pan-sized fish. It took about 3 days for me to thaw out.
