    We have about 38 hours on it now! Used it quite a bit last season!

    Congrats on the gorgeous boat! We are a little biased towards the green as well and your lines and colors shouldn't go out of style! Enjoy your new float!

    Howard 288 - New Build (Grey, Black & Green)

    We put our initial deposit down in August of 2020. Mike contacted us about lines and colors in May of 2021. Went into the mold early July 2021. Delivered February 23, 2022. So, from deposit to water was about 18 months.

    The only regret we have is that we should have got in line to build one sooner! It is really difficult to find something that we do not like about it. If you are thinking about building one and would like to pick my brain, do not hesitate to give me a call. 714.606.8324

    @FROGMAN524 Yes, it was delivered a couple of weeks ago and we ran it last weekend. Wasn't the best weather but the boat is incredible. We will be back in Havasu in a couple weeks for the Meet Up and it is getting a ceramic coat by Howard Custom Detail in the next day or two. The boat turned out...

    Any updates on rigging?

    Its time, Howard 255 going in the mold!

    Looking good! Can't wait to see it rigged and out on the water!

    The boat is now out of the mold and we are excited on how the colors and lines turned out. Now time to for capping/sanding/buffing for the next month or so. Going up to Howard next week to finalize all of the interior details with Mike.

    Amazing boat Tony! Which Isotta steering wheel did you guys use on this one?

    Received a couple pictures of the boat being taped. It will start getting sprayed on Monday next week and out of the mold by early August.

    Correct, the 22 are boats that are slated to be built and when I went to Howard last week there were 7 or 8 boats in production not including mine or the newest 255 that is in the mold.

    I am not going to speculate on it but I would call Gene and ask him if you were to put a deposit down today when would you receive a boat.

    Howard 288 - New Build (Grey, Black & Green)

    Prior to COVID they were delivering one boat a month and Gene said they are trying to stick to that but delays are coming left and right, not due to Howard, but due to other suppliers not being able to deliver trailers, parts, gel coat, etc. as quickly as they used to be. I also think they...

    Howard 288 - New Build (Grey, Black & Green)

    We put our initial deposit down back in August of last year and we were not expecting the call from Gene & Mike until October or November of this year, which means that people either were not ready or they completely backed out. When I went up to Howard last week Gene mentioned that they have...

    Howard 288 - New Build (Grey, Black & Green)
