Hope to get her this week. Wasn't crazy about the green or the black or carbon, whatever it is. I just hope it isn't too hot and doesn't fade to fast.

Very nice lookin'! Give the dealer a chance to make it right, and you'll be glad you did!
Nice ride! You’ll enjoy it!
Congrats, good luck with it and the wind's always at your back.
Sweet, once you run it, you'll be happier than a pig in chit.

Nice looking boat man. Hopefully they get ya back on the water soon.
You have a great dealer. I would never assume buying a new boat will mean it's trouble free. It's been a while, but the last 2 new ones I've bought needed trips back to the dealer for repair, and adjustments, after their maiden voyage.
This ignorant comment is laughable. It's apparent that you have never purchased a new boat before.
"Remember the dealer ain't doing you a favor bro" Really..?? The dealer was up front and honest with him!! The dealer is taking care of issues from the factory, which is what dealers do!!!
I would MUCH rather wait for my new boat to be fully operational and then take delivery, rather than take delivery and have the boat fail on the water, only to take it back to the dealer.
You beat up the dealer in your first paragraph, then agree with the rest of us in your second paragraph....
Grow up.

I called the dealer today to see how things were going. The parts will be here tomorrow. They I should be able to take delivery by Friday. Hopefully, it goes well and I will be fishing Saturday.

Dealer called and said parts didnt come today like they said they would. They said the parts should be here by tomorrow now. If things go right I can pick my boat up Saturday. It's been a long couple of weeks. Aggrevating.

I would encourage you, as a rule, not to call people ignorant when they don’t have the same opinion as you ... in this case an unwavering belief that dealers are all about the customers first and foremost. They’re not ... they’re about selling & servicing boats. And in this case he’s doing both.

Nope, your comment was completely ignorant. Telling someone their dealer did them a favor by water testing so issues could be found before delivery is taken, is much different than proclaiming "dealers are all about customers first and foremost". Which by the way only YOU said. A dealer water testing a boat doesn't benefit anyone but the customer.

Drove 2.5 hours today to see what was going on with my boat. The had it at the lake and had just come back to dealership. I'm supposed to get it in the morning. Sales guy said I could pick my old boat up today to fish until mine was ready. I couldn't find my old boat. Dealer said they are working on it
I said where are they working on it and he said not sure. It's a small dealership and checked everywhere and no old boat. Thinking they sold it already but not sure. It was not at the dealership that is for sure.

I would be very very cautious. The quality control at Ranger is not what it used to be. I have had 5 Rangers in last 15 years. Custom ordered one and took delivery in February this year. Lots of issues and problems after delivery. Also sloppy mfg clean up before boat was shipped. Less than 20 hours on boat and 4 serious QC issues and in shop now. I would tell them to keep the boat.
