Ok, so this is easily the largest gift I've ever gotten that came already wrapped up. All I need is the big, red bow and I'd be set!
The boat has been stuck on the east side of Washington thanks to recent thunder-snow and a cold snap in Seattle. But, the mountain pass lifted their oversize load ban for a brief period of time during a break in the weather today.
The Genmar driver, Chris, was awesome. These guys are rockstars. After stopping traffic on a 5 lane highway to move the boat & truck, he backed it right in and the unloading began.
** Note, delivery was made to a Regal dealer of all places since Seattle doesn't have a Four Winns dealer anymore. I have a great contact (the service manager) - thanks to Law950 (Ed). Ed helped me by introducing me to this fellow and getting the process going.
Four Winns was happy to deliver straight to Seattle - rather than the Ryan @ Winnisquam in New Hampshire. Saved me almost 10 thousand dollars in double-shipping charges!
Also found out, this boat was a March, 08 hull.
Boat on the flatbed from Genmar
These jackstands, called Yard-Arms, were just to lift the boat above the trailer
Here's the boat on just the stands!
Slide in the trailer, and there we go!
She'll stay wrapped up through the end of the year, and will await a January dry spell for her official unveiling.
Now introducing, and registered with the Coast Guard, "All Night Long" out of homeport - Seattle, WA.
