Looking at Yamaha's site there is no mention of a trailer like all their other boats have.
I guess 130k isnt enough to get a trailer wow
Here in lakes country, MN, 90% of larger boats are sold without a trailer. As the dealer will sell a service plan to launch it at the lake in the spring, pull it out in the fall, winterize, shrink wrap and store for the winter. I'm a trailer guy, and will always have one. But as so many folks leave their boats on lifts in front of their lake home, the option of a trailer, rather than comes standard, is more common.
This is much more true with the larger boats like Pontoons, Tritoons, and more importantly, anything over 8.5'. As mentioned by someone else, up here, going beyond legal width is noticed on our highways by LEO's. The average owner of a 24' x 8.5' Tritoon literally hates the idea of trailering, and hates even more trying to find a place to store it between trips.
I do believe at 9' beam, Yamaha was definitely not going after the trailer market. And the option makes much more sense than to include it like other models.
And let's be real, if Yamaha was trying to hit the demographic of this forum all the time, they would have never released the 190 series. This is a mid-year release. You should all be excited that this may be a sneak peak at some potential features that would be released in other models of the line up. That's the whole idea of a pre-order Boutique-ish model. They can make a limited build on pre-orders and save on research and development of something they mass produce and fail.
This is something Yamaha is doing with other powersport industries as well. Their true all-yamaha sled line were spring order only for 2019. The only mass produced models were co-developed with another manufacturer. If you wanted an all-yamaha model, it had to be spring ordered with the options you chose. I am hoping they continue this boutique model, as I feel the fit and finish will increase (along with prices). But the limited supply may also increase demand and keep used values up. Yamaha knows inventory management from the factory to the consumer. And I think dealers like the idea of cleaning out inventory on a regular basis.
