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.

These jackstands, called Yard-Arms, were just to lift the boat above the trailer

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.
