I'll be picking up my new Explorer Sport 1825 in a couple of weeks. I'm excited, it's my first new boat.

I want to make sure all is well when I bring home my new toy. Having never picked up a new boat before I'm wondering what the more common issues might be. Are there any common problems that I should look for with setup, rigging or mechanical systems that might go unnoticed? I just want to give everything a good look before it leaves the dealer.

thanks!

I'm an ex- Lund dealer (retired)
This particular boat will have been rigged almost entirely at the factory.
After it arrived from Lund, the dealer should have checked all functions.
A good dealer will give you an orientation session, where in ...you and he(or tech, or salesman) will be in the boat while he goes over all features and accessories.
Good time to leave the kids at home. You don't want distractions.

Great boat. I run an Explorer, myself.
Enjoy!!!
