Oh that's interesting. Yes look forward to seeing the images, particularly the data plate on the inside of the transom to see if they have changed any of the factors.

The weird thing is even the Bombard site doesn't have 2019 Aerotec pictures/specs. Hence I await Sanka's images with interest.

Me too, I was confused.

I contacted a few dealers here. they all said it was not available anymore.

untill I contacted Bombard NL, because on their website it is still available.
Aerotec – Bombard

they gave me the statement that they can produce it uppon reguest..

anyway, I will pick it up asap, and let's see what I will find in the box..

2019 Aerotec

Sanka,

I would concur with Fenlander. I spoke with Julie at Chas Newens in London last week and she told me that they were discontinued at the end of last year, so not certain how a 2019 one exists. It could be the last of the tun but as Fenlander says, check the serial plate as date of manufacture should be stamped there.

Matt

Hi guys,

As promised, picked up the aerotec today.
It's still in my car, no time to open it yet.

But the serial number (last 2 digits) on the box says a lot.
See for yourself....

More will follow when I have time to unpack

That's a good start... decodes as a Feb 2019 built, 2019 model year.

Going to be so interesting to see if they have changed the design at all and so far not told the UK dealers... or if it's just that they will now only build to order the same design as before and the UK dealers are unaware or can't be bothered.

If they didn't bother to tell UK dealers that it's still possible to order, then I might just order one to be ready for pickup when I'm coming back from my summer hols on Stena Line
That should cover 10 years of fun.

Wow!!

It’s like discovering Bigfoot or some other mythical creature.

The sib that is no longer made has just been made.

What a find. Just shows sometimes you shouldn’t listen to anyone... including the dealers [emoji1].

Your priorities are all over the place.

Here's some quick pics of the unboxing.

I will inflate it next week to see how it really looks.

Well interesting straight away that the data plate rates it for 5 people contrary to what the UK dealers said about it failing that rating hence being withdrawn.

The only differences that I can see so far is the red on the rubbing strake which I've not seen before and the logo is a little different.

That is interesting. Bombard have recently made small changes to their Commando line too... e.g. switching the Bombard text to the bow and C3/4/5 to the stern and increasing colour options.

A bit later then I hoped for, but I finally found some time to assemble the 2019 aerotec today.

Any difference in regard to previous models?
