It is amazing that they can keep this stuff locked down. Salespeople like to talk and hype things up. Hard to believe that some pics and solid info isn't floating around the Internet posted by an anonymous source.
Exactly what I was thinking. Where's this boat being tested? What does yamaha have some indoor lake somewhere? A huge water treadmill? Where are the interns who will write and ultimately make errors on the advertising copy? No one's taking selfies next to the new 26' purpose built ski boat? I can't believe that. NO WAY!

@MikeyL
You sir, are not holding up your sworn duties to this forum! Where are the pictures of this alleged test on your home lake??? You're killing us Mikey!!!
In trouble? Trouble for what? There are spy photos of cars all the time. If I lived on lake Oconee (A public lake) I'd have my camera tripod mounted shooting on the longest lens I have. I'd be shooting a company driving on a public waterway. And then i would be selling my photos to every boating magazine. Unless of course Yamaha wanted 'to give me a free boat to keep my mouth shut.

Last year a vendor that Yamaha was using to build the 2015 web info inadvertently posted the information on an active web server instead of an offline server a couple of weeks before the info was to be released. Some people found the website and posted a link and photos of the new 2016 19' center console here. Yamaha politely asked the admin of this forum to remove the info until Yamaha makes their public release, which the admin agreed too. Better to go along with mother Yamaha than fight her.
They love us? They love our money. They have done nothing for me especially the whole incorrect battery voltage display that I was told they aren't fixing. Kinda pisses me off.

@Nucem140 yes sir. The voltage display on the screen only shows the house battery voltage not the starting battery. Have you noticed the 2 voltages are always almost identical? Check your batteries with a meter then check the screen. I have tested this as well as other people here. I ran my radio almost all day and then checked it. The displayed voltages were almost the same but when I checked the batteries the starting battery was almost 2 full volts higher than the house battery. Yamaha knows the display is only showing the house battery but said they have no plans on fixing it. There is a whole thread on this
