got my sales sheet yesterday for 255XD
Man these prices are getting insane. Paid 87 OTD in March.
117k for a surf boat from Yamaha is mind blowing to me considering the 242X was mid 70’s just a few years ago new. And wave hasn’t gotten much better for surfing. If they can create a huge surf wave for 100-120k I would consider it in the future but I may be looking at a dedicated surf boat like Super Air Nautique very lightly used after years of using our 242X. For now we are still loving our Yamaha. Can’t imagine spending 117k and having the same wave I have and having to buy premium fuel instead of regular at every fill up to gain only a few MPH on top end.
I agree on the price but that isn't even a fair comparison. You need to compare to a 252X, which is 86k.
Agree I forgot about that model. Still though 86k for that model after all the fees he just mentioned and a cover and your close to 100k I would think. That’s a massive jump over a few short years.
Prices across the board are so high, but we don’t have many options. Used boats are selling just below these prices lately.
Make ready?! Total delivery and prep of $8k?! Damn! What dealer is throwing those numbers?!
those numbers are bullshit. These dealers should be ashamed. My 21 255xd came out to 97k out the door, including installed snap cover, and the galvinized trailer, and "coast guard kit"
I guess you were right @JoeMitchem. The website has changed.
I don't think many people realize they have the 252XE still lol. No idea what was out the door a few years ago. I'd expect 95ish OTD with my local tax rate for a 2022. The 2019 version was 77k compared to 86k. The '21 was 80k for a redesign. Was fine until this years huge increases.
It is weird but I don't think that they where ordered. Just randomly sent? I do know that a lot of pics out before august 17 mamayamaha will find the dealer and will never send any more boats to them.
That's exactly what I was told by my dealer. He said that the pre-release boats that showed up were basically a mystery to them and that Yamaha just sent them some stuff to appease people that got cut from the 2021 list. He said there really was no rhyme or reason.
where you at?
This makes a lot of sense. My local dealer has started closing more days. They have nothing to sell. If they get something, they have a list of people waiting.
