Curious what they are charging you on freight and prep.? I think mine was 1,800, which I’m still scoffing at some. I had one place tell me 3k, but 2020 prices, what a joke.
$2500... The freight portion of that is likely variable based on the destination location. I believe these are made in Tennessee which is roughly 1500 miles away from me. Not sure what is involved in prep aside from taking the cover off and cleaning transport related grime off the hull and trailer. Seems fairly reasonable unless these costs are already built into the MSRP.
Agreed. Laws of supply and demand usually benefit business otherwise they go out of business. Just the way the world works. Not sure if this is a miillenial concept. Now if price goes well beyond expectations then you may have a case of price gouging.
A little off topic. But Earlier in the thread @HangOutdoors mentioned someone was upset there was not enough boats and they wanted the prices to stay the same. Which reminded me of Atlas Shrugged.
One of the points in directive 10-289 was: “Every establishment, concern, corporation or person engaged in production of any nature whatsoever shall henceforth produce the same amount of goods per year as it, they or he produced during the Basic Year, no more and no less...” And point seven states that prices are to stay the same.
So by all means negotiate and let the laws of supply and demand determine the price you pay.

I was asked for $1000 deposit but they never ran the credit card. I understood it as a way of committing to the dealership my intent to purchase from them when the boat is available and we can work out a deal.
Several dealers near me are offering pre-order on 2021 models at 2020 prices. I’m not familiar with Yamaha Pricing. Would one expect such an increase that 2020 msrp is a decent deal on a 2021?
My dealer here in eastern Washington says an AR 190 will be $33,149. Not much of an increase over the 2020 price of $32,899. Don't think I am going to try to haggle much on the price given the scarcity of these boats. I will see what kind of deal on accessories I can get. Mine should be arriving within two weeks I was told. Here are the AR190 colors and interior colors. The interiors are for color reference only- they are NOT AR190 interiors. I have my pick, but not really a fan of the tan (called warm) color. we will see what it looks like in person. Pretty excited to get a boat after selling our pontoon this year!
no that doesn't sound right at all. Find a new dealer. Or if you can't and need to use that dealer and have to give him $5000, which is totally absurd, then make sure in writing it is spelled out that it is fully refundable for any reason you want in totality.

well i figured i was going to buy the boat regardless and use that as a down payment. Hopefully they will have the first boats in florida, Jacksonville.
I've got an AR190 on order. I'm not sure that I could do the Suede gray with a warm (brown) interior. I'd have to see it, but I can't think that color combo would work for me. This is what I saw for the early release boats. It looks like all of the 190 are coming out with the cool interior
@toddaltpeter Do you have bigger pictures like the ones above for the 2021 AR210? I saw a picture but it was too small to really get a good idea of the looks.
