    Want To Buy 2012-2013, 242LS or 212x

    My wife has green-lighted a new boat for our family. After being a long-time Yamaha Waverunner owner and SeaDoo X-20 owner, I have always lurked the Yamaha forums for a 21-24' boat. My reason for this vintage is the updated hull and tip-down towers. A 2013 with any leftover YES contract would...

    2016 242 LSE vs 2013 212X Decision

    Some of you know that I'm in the middle of my @Betik style mad scramble to get a boat bought and prepped for Bimini... I thought (think) I was dead set on a 2016 242 LSE, or maybe not, Now I'm thinking a 2013 212X may be a better all around boat for me since I'd AT MOST be going to Bimini once a...

    Does anyone know if Gatlin Wake Wedge made for 2014 212x is compatible with 2008 212x?

    Looking at buying a used one from someone who had made for his 2014 212x. (I have a 2008 212x and want to ensure it would fit, but live several hours apart so can't test in person easily) Any quick replies helpful and welcome. Thanks!

    Buying a new Jet Boat

    Ok so I currently own a 2011 Fourwinns 210ss. We are looking to buy a jet boat. I really like both the Yamaha 212X and the Scarab Impulse (Twin 250s). I have a couple of general questions regarding these two boats. Does anyone know what kind of towing capacity they have? I like to pull multiple...

    2017 212X...... Surfing? Nope.

    Yeah, I'm YamaPissed. Had I researched the good information on this forum prior to my purchase I probably wouldn't be where I'm at but instead I listened to Yamaha's marketing. From Yamaha's website: "The triple ballast system adds up to 1,100 pounds (131 gallons) of weight to create the...

    21' bucket seats on SX 195

    Does anyone know if the bucket seats on the 2017 21' boats would be compatible with the SX 195? I like everything about my boat except the bucket seats are terribly uncomfortable IMO. I like the reclining function on the 21's much more and would gladly pay to replace the ones I have if it could...

    First time poster here. I'm 99% confident that we are going to pull the trigger on a 2017 212x this coming year.....pretty excited!! Through some of our my research, I've seen that typically Yamaha will not move on prices, especially on new boats at the beginning of the year. However some of...
