How long does it usually take for the new models to hit the showrooms?

 

[Englewoodcowboy]

depends. The FSH19 has not seen a showroom yet...

Depends on the model and the production schedule. The FSH only just began arriving at dealers and was announced in January, but typically they announce in August and models begin arriving in dealers later in the year (Nov/Dec)....depending on your location....northern dealers likely later than southern ones.

Where are they actually revealing the 2016 models, is it a boat show?

 

[Lextacy03]

I know that the Annapolis boat show in Oct always has the new 2016 models on display.

Nice! I will be there this year. I can't wait to see the 2016's and I'll be sure to take lots of pics and videos.

Yamaha has a dealer only release every year where they introduce their new lineup and educate the dealers.

I purchased my boat in September last year and received it in October. It know some on this site received theirs in the middle of September. I imagine with the competition having their boats already available, you will see the 2016's sooner vs. later.

Maybe " Another Piece of Ship" getting ready to be seen?

Any idea where in country?

Agreed! And most of the comparable boats in this class have a 9' or 9' 6" beam. I am just not sure how likely Yamaha would be in creating a boat that requires an additional wide load permit for trailering. (or for that matter a boat longer than 24' - but one can dream)

 

[Murf'n'surf]

They move it around year to year but its usually in a warm climate state like Florida. I not certain of the location this year.

Does @Julian know or is he sworn to secrecy on that too

He's not talking! LOL I believe somebody already said where it is in an earlier post....

I do not believe that Yamaha will sell anything wider or much longer in the US in the near future. But 28' LOA with a 9'6" beam would be a great platform for a small cabin cruiser with a Yamaha generator built in and a small AC / heat unit. Yamaha could follow the 190 FSH pattern and sell it as a large bowrider or a small cabin cruiser using the same lower hull with a differing upper section.

@Bruce did you attend the secret session with Julian at Yamaha HQ?

I was enjoying the beautiful blue waters of Bimini.

The Yamaha Jet Boat dealer meeting is in Amelia Island, GA for 2015.
Period.
Sadly for some dealers, Yamaha's "G3" boat dealer meeting is being held on the same dates. <???>

Mikey Lulejian - Lake Oconee, GA

I do not recall where Yamaha said the dealer meeting was being held......sorry....but @MikeyL 's post suggests he has that info locked down....I can neither confirm this or deny it...I was consuming more interesting info....or it wasn't mentioned when I met with them....

Going back to editing a 13 minute video now....
