Wow Decent Fuel Capacities.
 
Woo-hoo 111 gallon tank on 252 FSH
 
Weights almost 5k dry
 
Is the 212XD twin SVHO? Says normally aspirated.
 
That's a pretty immature response from them. Professional PR would be to message you privately asking that you take it down as they made a mistake and it's not supposed to be revealed until tomorrow. In a few hours it won't matter that your video is up anymore as their HD version will obviously get the views. Publicly whining on the comments is some schoolyard shit.
Honestly had they had done that I would have pulled the video, but their comments were completely out of line. I'll leave it up until YouTube pulls it.
 
Lots of 21ft options now

I did my first YouTube comments ever....and called them out.......now I’m watching your “JL Wrangler in the swamp” video [flag]
 
I wish they had left that versa table off the 255S to give a lux model the true U-shape seating without that versa table....but I’ll reserve judgement until I see one in person.

Also, the 255SD should have included the SVHO engines in my opinion, although the fuel economy difference is concerning.

Right now I’m leaning towards an AR250 but I’m going to hold off any order until I get to see them in person (and compare directly to the Scarab 255 in a walk-thru side by side at a show).

I am surprised the added length didn’t add to the 12 person capacity....not that I would have that many people often but when we have all family around I want to be legal....the higher the better
 
Disappointing the AR250 has the floating screen with a baby screen integrated.... and also no swim seating. It says it has bimini but none of the pictures show it.
 
Wonder if I could add the swim seating to the AR250 aftermarket.

Someone on here has added the swim-up seat to his AR240....I think the parts were around $1k but I don’t remember exactly.

Apparently the 250 series is 6 inches longer with a 4” taller gunnel over last years model
 
Boating magazine videos are live again!

 
I wonder why Yamaha opted for the smaller bimini on the new SE and SD compared to the 2020? I really like having the larger bimini.

EDIT: Maybe it just looks smaller because the boat is a bit larger?

I bet that 700 extra pounds on the new SE will smooth out the ride, a bit, but I have to wonder what impact it will have on acceleration and top speed.

If anyone knows of a link we can access that shows the AR250 in action, that would be great. Our local dealer doesn't even have the updated 25' 2021s up yet and can't find any review videos. TIA

I don't see any videos on the AR250. There's a mention of it in the 255XD video but no full walkthrough.

What is going on with the AR250 cockpit table placement behind driver seat. That doesnt seem too good.
