Sorry to hear it is taking so long. In the end, I am sure it will be worth the wait! From the pics I have seen recently, you haven't skipped a beat at boating! Hang in there ZP!

Yep there's a definite instant gratification piece to buying used but when the build is over and your the only person to have ripped the new boat across the bay hopefully the wait will have been worth it or at least a memory that you can get past. I agree though the boat building / maintenance industry seems to have no understanding or even concept of deadlines and it's super frustrating for those of us that are used to having to meet them or deal with penalties, in the marine industry the penalty for being late is generally they get to add on additional costs and make more money...

Nope, they want it all, and they want it NOW. That’s when they get it to, NOW. There is absolutely no sense of urgency in the Marine business. I will always buy a used boat in the future.

ZP, I can relate to your ZP! Mine took 3.5 months to get painted. Was supposed to be done in December before the Miami boat show, but got put on the back burner for the "big boys" to be shown at the show. Really frustrating, but in the end, I was very pleased with what I received. I am also in the construction industry. My clients often wait until the the hour glass is near empty on the schedule to get started on their project and expect that we can move mountains to get them into their building when they originally contemplated the project completion with no regard to their lack of action. Having been part of the boat build is very rewarding, however.

The interior is done, it’s a beautiful job. Exceeds my expectations. Boat is home. Now sea deck, graffics, and props.

Happy for you bud! What a struggle but glad it turned out great. Can’t wait to see it in person.
