Seriously, unless there's some whirlybits bolted onto those motors, I don't know where a multi-thousand dollar price increase comes from. Nothing externally worth the price, unless Will really soaked them on the licensing fee for TVs.

Colors are awesome but not worth the $$$$ for what I'm seeing here!! Definitely pricing themselves out of the wakeboat market!

Tariffs have real impacts on aluminum prices and cost to import stuff. Prices are directly related to recent policy changes :(

Any word on upgrades or new features? I don't really know why I care, I'm not in the market. Just curious :)

The sad thing is every new boat in the size is same price. The tige are 90k+ as surf boats.

If all you do is surf it's getting to point where you can buy one of those. If you wanna fish, surf, lake hop, take her to the ocean these are all around best imo still.

The biggest difference between yamaha and other jets is the ease of cleaning via clean out plugs.

You could also get something like this which I would argue has a better wake than the Yamaha's and can still do all of the fishing, lake hoping and cruising that they can (albeit with more draft):
