I just bought the new Line Outlines with marker griffon bindings. Should I wait to remount if I think that I need to go up a boot size? I currently rock the 27.5 Full Tilts but thinking I need to go up to 28.5.

Why wouldn't you wait?
Are you shopping boots other than fulltilt? I believe fulltilt has some rather irregular bsl for a given shell size.

You could in theory mount the bindings for the larger bsl and adjust to the smaller boot. I'm not sure how much adjustability griffons have but since they aren't mounted there might still be time to return them and get some attack 13s?

You could mount the Griffons for the size you have now, ski them, and then just adjust the binding for your next size up boot. The Griffon heels are mounted on a track that actually provides a lot of size adjustability. I mounted for 27.5 full tilts and then went up to 28.5 and easily made the adjustment on two pairs and they still ski great. Keep in mind though that your center will be offset by a tiny bit though once changing sizes.

May as well just go up a size before mounting though so they work exactly as intended.
