    Factory Visit Tomorrow

    Taking the day off , cold front last night came through Sam Rayburn area slowing things down. I think tomorrow will be a good day to take the factory tour.

    Any general questions that I can ask that will be of interest to this fourm?

    Ordered my new ZX200 about 4 wks ago but don't think it will be being built yet but who knows

    So far the old Stratos has been letting lots of keepers aboard (up to 6 lbs. ). Even though her days are numbered. She will be looking for a new home soon.

    Will list her on the Stratos Boat For Sale Friday, HEADS UP

    Let us know how the tour goes! Maybe sometime I'll get down there to check it out. I'll be in Texas for hunting in about 3 weeks but wont have time to stop by the Factory.

    They take good care of you. Your boat may be finished. Skeeter is really pumping the boats out and several ordered in your time frame are completed. I just got mine Saturday.

    Re: Factory Visit Tomorrow (Igofish2)

    Took the tour yesterday. Looks like they have all thier T's crossed & the i's dotted. The boats are built as orders come in. Bass boats, Bay boats, Fish & Ski, Walleye boats all come down the line as ordered.
    99% of the boats come out with a Yamaha on it. If it's has a engine on it it's a Yamaha. Was told that only one dealer still orders all their boats without engines so that they can install the black motors.
    They are building 14 boats a day at this time and all boats are water tested in a tank for leaks and all electrial fuction. Livewell pumps, bilge pumps, running lights, horn, "everything".
    I would say that if anyone has a chance to go and do the tour do it . And the price is right also
