A new 49’ Elling E4 can be delivered to any slip on the East Coast within 6 months upon placing the order! It may take 8 months for an E6. This is what I heard at the Newport Boat Show couple weeks ago.
6 months from ordering to delivery sounds very optimistic. Does that estimate come from people selling a boat, or actual owners experiences?
FWIW I (and many other recent boat buyers) have found sometimes significant differences between what a salesperson promises to secure a deal, and what happens in the real world.
Also FWIW at the Newport show I overheard a couple of people from a well known and respected trawler builder griping that sales people were telling buyers a year to delivery, but actual times were taking 2 years and they were taking heat from upset buyers being told it’s taking longer than promised.
