    20 weeks for a new boat

    It has been 17 weeks since I ordered my boat, looks to be another 3 before it even gets to the dealer, I understand that they are short handed and I do not want my boat rushed, the only thing that bothers me is I told them to take their time, as long as I had my boat by September all would be good, looks like I am going to have to fish my last two tournaments in my old 2017 Triton 21 TRX.
    Oh well, anything worth having is worth waiting for. Theresa did give me 250 dollars worth of merchandise for the delay, I did not ask for anything, I thought that was pretty good for Bullet Boats to offer that, she di give me a sneak peek of the boat, looks pretty fine.

    Ordered mine in October last year hoping to have had it before our big yearly trip that happens first of March but didn’t happen. It was waiting on me when I got home though. It was a long 5 month wait but well worth it.

    They have had a few employees out due to illness, personal reasons, vacations etc., that really hurts a small company, we have been experiencing some of the same at our concrete business, 2-3 operators can cut our operation down by 20 - 30 %. And in no way am I disappointed in Bullet Boats, my new boat will most likely sit in my barn cave for 3-4 months hibernating, oh well that will give me plenty of time to tinker with it.

    Congrats, sounds like a nice color combo. It'll be worth it. I know the anticipation is tough though. I waited 9 months in 2016 to get a Sterling built (which was pretty ridiculous) if that makes you feel any better:)
