The Official "2018 boats are coming" thread!

Not Yamaha..... But I believe Scarab is coming out with a 25' center console. Obviously with twins.

Looking forward to seeing at the boat show if true! Scarab has some great cc boats with outboards

It's not that bad.. Just have wished the tank was larger so I can avoid marina pricing when we take longer trips (50 - 70 miles one way) or when pulling tubes all day. The least amount I have burned in one day is 25 gallons and the most about 65 so far. That is cruising about 28mph ~5900 - 6000rpm / ~13gph. You would think that on a boat that burns 26-27gph WOT would have a larger tank than 50 gallons.

Agree! We can only surf for about 4 hours max with 3k+ ballast. Every fill up is 46 to 48 gal, And we always end the day early due to the small gas tank.

Feeling good about my 17. I like my color option better than the 18 AR195's.

You had the 195 at Shelbyville right? We definitely thought it was a sexy looking boat!

Yep, thanks.

Based on the pictures it appears they did not redesign the haul (as the rudder still hangs below the haul).

Anyone know when Yamaha's announcement for 18s will be coming?

Calling @Julian...
- What are the dates for the 2017 dealer meeting?
- Are you or someone else from JB.net going again this year? Loved the coverage that you guys did last year!

There are no major updates to the 19 ft series other than colors for the most part. These boats are shipping in advance of the dealer meeting and reveal on the 28th which is a first.

Hopefully they carry the colored tower look through to some of the bigger boats, I really like it!

 

[Adrian @ JB Solutions]

Man I was hoping sooner, that is only a few days before the boat show here. Curious to see colors and if any changes for 210s.

I will likely be attending again this year....and we'll have to see if @Murf'n'surf can join me!

I'm not at liberty to say when the meeting will be....but @Ziess21 above seems well connected!

I would love to see at least a 75 gallon fuel tank on the 24' boats. I'd probably trade in the 2017 I just bought!

I actually agree if they add a 75 gallon tank I maybe looking at upgrading my 2017 as well.

 

[Slfmde]

I talked to one dealer said they already placed orders for the ar195.

Use gas as ballast..

Made the switch on Saturday!! Traded in my 2015 AR210 for the 2017 242x E- series. Put about 4 hours on the motor yesterday. The boat is amazing and the sound system is great! Didn't use the ballast bags yet. Not to happy that there is no way to clean them out specially that I will be using them in salt water primarily..

 

[blacksapphirez]

hmm ditching 192 all together... interesting

 

[Joe Hellaby]

@blacksapphirez they ditched the 192s last year. 2016 where the last year for 192's, now they have the 195's

you're right. don't know what I was thinking...

 

[Adrian @ JB Solutions]

Any insider information if the price will be going up on the 210s? Trying to work a deal but don't think it is going to work with local dealers.
