Want To Buy 2017 Sx210 / 2015+SX240

[Alex Smith]

Looking to purchase a newer model Yamaha. We currently own a 2007 Ar210 and have loved it but ready to get a new one. would prefer a Ar but worried about the tower problems on the newer models so looking at the Sx models. I like the space on the newer hull designs and think some of the recent updates would be great.

Who’s seen a good deal out there?

Funny you say this, because I'm currently doing the same. I'm wanting to upgrade to a newer boat, and possible bigger. I'm taking my time though and just looking. Don't want to rush. Hope to find a good deal.

IMO the issue with the 2015+ AR towers is with their crummy bolt/lock. That can be fixed, somewhat, and the AR240 probably is their best "bargain" in the whole lineup. I wouldn't get into an SX solely because of that.
Just my 0.02, since you are looking for opinions.

The AR tower was part of the reason I didn't get one. Also I can get an aftermarket tower and install it for less than the price of the difference to an AR.

Sold my boat today and already having withdrawals so the hunt for the new boat is going into overdrive.

Congrats! Makes me wonder if I should start to sell mine now, so I can upgrade. Instead of waiting.

Thanks. There was a lot of interest so it may be a good time to test the waters. Though I don’t want you out there competing with me on the next boat. Lol
