Ok, after what seemed like the lending/loan process from he!! my new-to-me 290DA is finally arriving on Thursday 4/23.
I bought fellow board member's boat and its on the truck traveling from NJ to Ohio as we speak. Should be meeting the driver by noon for the splash.
Btw, anyone who needs a boat hauled give Phil at Boat Moves a call:

Sorry, if this type of referral is not permitted but I have no affiliation. I can only say they are a FANTASTIC group of people. Best price I could find, timely, extremely flexible and understanding of the delays as will be noted below and in constant contact.
So, if anyone is buying a boat that requires a premier mortgage make sure you use a bank that knows what they are doing. I was suppose to have check in hand last friday but because they couldn't get their act together. There was one delay after another resulting in it being necessary to wire the money today at the last moment so the loading could begin despite my hauler arriving yesterday. Every day it was another piece of information that was required that they forgot to ask for. It was insane and almost made me and the seller just say, forget it!
Admittedly, it caused a great strain on myself and the seller and made the whole purchasing process less than rewarding. BUT, that's all in the past and its time to enjoy the new boat. I'll post pictures of her arrival and splash.
Got my truck loaded up with everything I can think of needing this weekend and am heading out to my new slip in the morning!!:smt038
