You have to wonder how much the competition is driving innovation in the new models.

I'm disappointed Murf. I thought we Jetboaters were driving the innovation.

I heard the "E" in 242X E Series means Electric. Totally silent dedicated wake boat. 10 hours of runtime on lithium sulphur batteries.

And no ballast needed with the weight of all the batteries necessary. . . . .

I'm hearing a dedicated wake/surf boat In either a 24'or 21' or possibly both? if and when they do it I sure hope they get it right and it surfs like the more expensive boats.

Possibly 21-' center console too, although not so sure about that.

Dealer meeting starts the 20th of August I believe...

Where are you guys "hearing" this from? I mean, I've seen a few mentions by a few people on here but without knowing A) who they are and B) what their source is, I just chalk it up as speculation or rumor mill. I'm just curious where these "leaks" are coming from and why beat around the bush if they know more info. Spill the beans... inquiring minds wanna know! :D

There could be negative effects if people actually spilled the beans. Lawsuit???? That is why people sign confidentiality agreements and Yamaha does a good job at covering their butt.

I heard we're getting bow thrusters that integrate with the Connext joystick on all 24' boats as well as a cuddy cabin 21' and 24' boat. You guys are gonna love it!









































Yes, I'm kidding :D
