Delivery ETA September 21, 2005, 10:53:08 pm Yahoo Message Number: 58262Does anyone know if it is normal for the 30 footers to take longer to build than the smaller models? We ordered in June and were scheduled for Oct. delivery, but just learned it probably won't be ready until November when we called for an update. Sitting on pins & needles and just can't wait for a road trip.

How much longer I don't know.The friendly folks on this site usually sign their names. Have you posted before?Chris Horst 2002 30' IB Denver

Hence they would do the layup for a number of 23½' models and see them through to completion. Then they would do the layup for another batch of a different length. This would of course depend on the number of orders they had taken for the various models. Be happy that the current delivery time if far shorter today than it was just a year ago.Steve S.
