Actually, I think Winnisquam has one or two available on the floor...but yes, the slots for the SL series are few and far between...at least they were when I pulled the trigger. I actually got lucky. And although some think they bumped up the price too much versus the 2008 model, they really did not because they added some COOL features and made other things standard (ie...stainless steel windshield header that was an EXPENSIVE option on the 2008).

The anticipation might cause me to have a coronary before I get to see my boat in the water...although it has surpassed 50 degrees F again today!! Now the ice is only 10" thick instead of 12" :evil:

I feel your pain. It snowed here again today. It is heading east from Oregon for everyone to share in. :twisted:

Getting cold again in the Northeast after a couple of warm days...but at least the ice is off my driveway.
Here is my big block before she was installed:

How's the ice on the lakes though? Things starting to thin up over there.

Not even close to thinning. The ice is still very thick. They were landing small planes last weekend in Alton Bay.

My ice out guess is 4/21

Come on spring.

Yup...ice is still pretty thick...still working on trying to get a shakedown cruise in the ocean. That way, I don't have to wait for ice out!
