Picked it up and it looks great! Barry really made sure that things were in order for me. I really can really appreciate the service that he is providing me with. I feel vey comfortable that everything Barry told me pre-delivery he has followed up on and then some. Thanks Barry....you have a happy customer here. I will try my best to use those Shockwave cooley cups instead of my BL one :) You guys should see Barrys face as a new Shockwave drives away....It is almost like one of his kids is leaving home....lol
The only problem is that I ordered one of those Master Lube units that an article was written on in ***boat an issue or so ago. Technically, when you install that you void the factory warranty. This was based on a Mercruiser guy that was at Shockwave and took a look at it. Also, the button you press to prelube the engine is suspect at not being flash proof. This is an issue simply because it MAY ignite gas fumes when pressed. More than likely you would not have a problem with it but Barry....after they had installed it removed it because of liability issues. I don't blame Shockwave. I blame Master Lube because they sure didn't mention this stuff in the article :(.
The boat is now at Wired For Sound and I hope it gets done early next week. The only problem is WFS hasn't recieved the 6 1/2's or the 10" sub :(.
I saw the new grills made by Ron and they look very clean. Just what I was hoping for. Adam is going to recess the tweeters in the grill and it should look pretty trick when done.
Thanks everybody.....after Vegas the last 3 days or so I am going to have to try to get some damn sleep. I will post some pics after I pick it up from WFS.....later

I've heard that Off-shore (dual handle) shifters void the drive warrentee, but I've been unable to confirm this. I understand Merc wants you to use their shifter because you cannot drop it into gear with the engine rev'ed up. But like I said, that's not a confirmed statement. http://op6c.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused31.gif

Congrats Tom, Sorry you can't make it out this weekend. We will be taking our Shockwave Step Skier next weekend (Sat March 27) for it 20 hour service. I will be there all week until Friday April 2, we wll pick it up then. It isn't a Tremor but if you have some time you can go check it out. See you at the Regatta, hopefully... Have fun breaking in the boat, we love ours. :D :D :D

Congrats, I am up to 2 hours on mine. Enjoy breaking it in. And washing the soot off the transom.

[hd&boatrider]

I was told that is a non-issue now...Is there still a soot buildup problem?

I think it may depend on the motor. I was cleaning for an hour on my boat last weekend. It has a 525.

The engine I had heard that about was the 496 and it was solved by some chip program changes. I did not know 525's had the same problems.
