underdug Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 We have ordered our Elite II and expect to take delivery the end of June 2019. We are excited t0 start a new chapter in our lives with our new Ollie, trading our seafaring ways for wandering aimlessly across the country. Having read the forums I realize our learning curve will be quite sharp, I anticipate we will be reaching for the forum life ring. Elite 11 delivered June 24, 2019. TV 2019 Chevy 2500 Duramax. First fiberglass hull that does not float, swapping white wake for a black ribbon. Hull number 482. We are happy campers

Moderators topgun2 Posted January 23, 2019 Moderators Posted January 23, 2019 Under and Land - Welcome! The plant tour is great - take a bunch of pictures. They will help you later on if you should need help in trying to do a Mod or if something should go wrong and you are trying to fix it. There is a ton of info here on the Forum and while our "search function" is not the greatest, I'd just poke around looking for things that catch your attention. Then ask questions - if it has been covered before I'm sure that someone will point that out. If it hasn't been covered then we will all learn something new. You only have between now and June to get trips planned and questions answered - so - let the fun begin.

Landrover Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Yes lots of pictures for structure points etc. great when some mods are made thanks. A bad question and let's hope it never happens to anyone. It doesn't appear to be many repair options in a collision. Has Oliver ever experience this? Grant 2022 GMC Denali 2500 HD 2019 Elite 11😎
Mainiac Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Welcome to the Oliver family. The Oliver is a whole lot like a boat, as far as systems go, except there isn't a built in compass. Also there isn't a Harbor Master making everybody park pointing the same way. Welcome aboard and enjoy... 2
GaryJona Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Oliver has a very talented staff and between the welding and the fiberglass division it would have to be really bad. There was an Oliver owner that backed into something and took out the complete top back quarter panel and fixed up like new so there is always a a helpful hand at the Oliver Camper division. Travel safe and enjoy.....we sure do. Thanks Gary 3 Gary & Jona 2016 Silverado 2500 Diesel Legacy Elite II Hull 81
Moderators topgun2 Posted January 24, 2019 Moderators Posted January 24, 2019 Yes, the team at Oliver has it covered for virtually any major repair. Also, most any good fiberglass boat yard or a body shop that takes care of Corvettes can do fiberglass work. If I were going to take my Ollie to anyone besides the team at Oliver I would insist that they at least talk to the people at Oliver to make sure that the resins used and the gelcoat type and color were the same and/or compatible with the original Oliver stuff.

Moderators SeaDawg Posted March 25, 2019 Moderators Posted March 25, 2019 are you sure they won’t float? That's funny, dana. I don't want to be the first to try... Welcome aboard, folks. You'll find a lot of carryover from boating systems to enjoying your Ollie.
