Update...boat arrived at dealer* yesterday, and is being inspected/detailed and will hopefully be up in Tahoe in a few days!

*As many of you know, the Tahoe dealer has its main showroom down in Rocklin. Tahoe location is at Sunnyside.

Update. R6 Surf supposed to be delivered to dealer next week! Fingers crossed!

Our dock is too shallow, but there is still enough water at the buoy field. So it is a bit of a pain taking passengers...we have an inflatable at the dock to use, but others are using kayaks etc to get to the buoy field.

It's worth the wait!

We got our R6 late last year (just in time for it to be too cold to use it) and have been super happy with it.

Only issue we had was a high temp alarm that kept going off but turned out to be a bad sensor that a mobile tech was able to replace.

Picked it up today! Rough conditions on Lake Tahoe today so after getting the tutorial and test drive, I took it around for a while and managed to get it hooked to my buoy alone with no problem. The cover wasn't hard either. A couple of pictures after I was headed back to the dock:

Nice looking boat! And ya I see possible T storms over the next few days. Has it been smoky up there? It’s been avoiding us where I live luckily.

We will look for you in a week and a half. You are at Sunnyside right?

Mine is up at King's beach right now on a buoy. A friend has it for the rest of the week.

Thanks, all.

Smoke hasn't been bad the last few days. Was really blustery and dark this afternoon (3pm) but settled down later.

Yes I am between Tahoe Tavern and Sunnyside. It is 10 ft at my spot in the buoy field, but only about 2-3 ft at the dock.

If I ever get up there this year I’ll reach out, we love being out on the lake all day, rarely see anyone we know. I have a friend that owns Bridgetender and is partners on a deli / store at Sunnyside so we usually cruise over and try to catch him if he’s around.

Great looking boat. Congrats.
I'd like to see a pic of the boat again in sunlight and calm. I'll bet the frost gray will pop more.

Yeah, not much sunshine the last couple of days (but unfortunately not much rain either). This was me going for initial ride yesterday leaving the dealership. Still pretty dull picture, but then again I didn't go very bold with the color selections!
