If I remember correctly, it was almost a year to the day from order to delivery- which is exactly what they told me. And that included about 10 changes to my invoice along the way. It does not matter what the wait is, it is worth it.
Besides, the wait will give you all the time you need to make the hardest decision- what color to paint it
BTW, where in NJ are you? There are a few ERAs in NJ and hopefully there will be a cruise organized sometime in the coming month. Anyone interested?
