Great looking rig, congrats! I'm jealous that mine is only pushing a Yamaha 250hp!

Looks sharp, congratulations! That new 300 cowling looks great. Go through the boat with a fine tooth comb before you hand that check over. The dealer will be more eager to fix things if it means getting paid. Good advice! Thank you!

That is awesome! I got word that mine is expected to be here for delivery next week as well. I will follow up with pictures and feedback too. Kef, my boat arrived at my dealer this past Saturday! Should be taking delivery this week after having the dealer put in an upgraded chartplotter, thru hull transducer and radar. I got to go see it with my family and it looks awesome! Not sure I did this right but here are a few pictures. Will post some more of interior when I get pick it up this week! The boat looks great. I know you cant wait to splash it. Please share pictures once you get the radar on it. I had ours rigged with the radar cable but no radar as I wanted to see what kind of space I would have. I keep getting different stories on my delivery. At first, my dealer was supposed to take delivery this week. Now its hopefully next week.

I just received the first pictures of my boat from Sailfish. It appears they have changed the cushion colors to a gray with graphite insert. See pics below. I will say the one thing that frustrates me is where they are installing the trim tab controls and indicators. It does not allow you to run dual screens, unless you get a smaller one and then its not symmetrical.

Looks good. What's that white square to the right of the trim indicator? It looks similar to the size of my autopilot head.

Looks sharp! You must be excited.
Agree on the mounting location. I guess that switch wouldn't fit on that flat horizontal surface area just in front of the biancles?

It was actually located in front of the binacle on all of the 2020/2021 models. I am curious if the new binacle doesn't allow for enough clearance. I am very excited, just another week or so before delivery.

That is a strange spot for the trim tabs. What is to the left of the throttle?

I will say the one thing that frustrates me is where they are installing the trim tab controls and indicators. It does not allow you to run dual screens, unless you get a smaller one and then its not symmetrical. I still don't have mine. Waiting on dealer to install electronics for the last 11+ days.... You can imagine how I feel about that. May only get GPS and not Radar until later because they either dont have time or dont have it. Very frustrating! Interesting on the cushion color. Did you want that? I have tan like you normally see, maybe they ran out of tan? I agree on the trim tab locations, mine are the same. There are a few other things that ended up different than what I thought although not big issues in my mind.. 1) I got a Garmin VHF instead of Horizon 2) VHF was installed up top in electronics box (not end of world but when I asked about this before they told me they won't do that because people complain it falls down when it gets rough) 3) The underside of the bench seat in the back has a sloped base/support underneath it (it either changed or I just didn't notice it when I shopped it 8 months ago because I thought it was completely open under it so you could slide a cooler under it) Again, not a big deal just an observation that may help others. Will update you once I get my boat with the electronics.

Will update you once I get my boat with the electronics. I wanted the color that you have on your boat, and so did my wife. Thankfully, she does like the new color. I confirmed with Sailfish this is their new color pattern and you can also see it on images/videos of the 272 on their website. I like the idea of the Garmin VHF only because it connects into the Garmin units to relay GPS coordinates, similar to what I had on my last boat. I also asked about VHF and they said they would be mounting in the electronics box, which is where I wanted it so I could run dual screens but their positioning of the trim tab indicators will require me to get a smaller or larger screen on that side. What do you mean by the underside of the bench seat? The fold down transom seat? Ill share more pictures as my boat arrives.
