Not a bad idea playing both sides of the dealer. I’m in pa and called as far as Florida. All other dealers in my area are even booked for 23.
That’s cool how many do you usually boat with . I’m a family of 4 and I plan to go with another family of 4. I got the 19 chepest one I could get incase I dint like it or wasn’t crazy about boating. Future plans is to get the most out of this get my money out of this and get something that I can sleep in and take longer trips . I live in pa so I’m only an hour east of ny so I can boat rite off the coast of ny down to wildwood in a few hours .For what it is worth, I love my 2020 AR210. BUT, if I could do it over again I would of gotten the AR250, especially if the dealer has one ready to go or in route..... Also the prices are going up every year. I don't know your situation or the water you boat on, Its only a couple feet longer. Just my two cents....
I boat with 4-9 usually. And can handle the great lakes without issue.
If for some reason mine does get canceled from here to then then I’ll look into getting the bigger model. Still hopeful that mine is coming. Dealer keeps telling me I’m confirmed and it is coming. He also said the date to be completed was the 11th of July which past .
I've been waiting since August of '21 also. I was the first to order a 210FSH from my dealer. I sold my Waverunners because I was told Oct/Nov was the anticipated delivery date. I guess I should of asked Oct/Nov of what year. An entire year without being on the water.
Yes, from what my dealer told me from day one was Yamaha determines dealer allocation and dealers take what they get, no actual specific orders are actually accepted by Yamaha.
Sort of. Dealers place orders/requests for the type of boats they want, models, trailer types, etc. Then based upon previous sales and some other metrics, Yamaha determines what percentage of allocation they should get using what they wanted as a guideline., for the most part.
I called a separate dealer from the one I have my ‘22 order with and he said allocations for ‘23 models are already set. He had already “sold” the sole 2023 AR210 he was allocated. Really hoping my 2022 comes so I don’t have to keep playing this game.
We are in Pompano Beach FL and couldn't find the 2022 255 FSH any closer than Jacksonville FL. My wife didn't like their attitude, so we canceled our order with them. I found one in stock in Ocean City MD, flew up, purchased then paid a contractor $1,100 to tow it down to us. It was cheaper than buying from Jacksonville dealer even with the towing cost. I can recommend Bayside Jet Drive outside of Ocean City MD. Good people.
