Since it's launch on Sept 11th it has gone nowhere !!
The boat has sat in the exact same spot since launch ........ did something go wrong during shipping and waiting on parts ??
Such a shame after the rush & EXPENSE (crane for 2 days) to get her in the water.

Brand new boats of that type (modern-styled cruisers) and size are notorious for having all kinds of problems that need to be addressed. They have an incredibly complex collection of stand-alone systems and typically every boat in the production run is custom. When combined with the need to continuously make styling changes to keep the designs fresh, it's a recipe for disaster.
More "traditional" cruising boats (like Sabre, Grand Banks, Flemming, Marlowe, etc.) are usually more sorted out from the factory because design changes are infrequent and minor, so the factory has had ample opportunity to find and address design flaws. They certainly are not perfect though, new boats rarely are...
