2019 Yamaha lineup

[Philippe]

Apparently Yamaha are watching and reading most of our comments

I just see the new 2019 lineup and was impress to see some changes like the include a surf Package.
This surf package is a wake surf by Slingshot, the rope and the total new WakeBooster attachment…

On the 212X We can see on some pictures that is a Wake Wedge look kind of… Don't know if Gatlin are in there.
You can see a bit of the wedge on the swim platform photo. About the ballast, no more info. Just include.
But the wake look very big on the 212X video in a supposed stock version

Finnaly a cell phone holder but the rpm cluster disaper and they are in a look like Ipad new connext.
Bybye Polk radio and welcom Fusion. Home the Bluetooth connection will be better than the Polk one.

It looks more like the Scarab "Surf Stream" concept. Very interesting approach!

Could be great, maybe in combination with Gatlin Wedge.

Looks similar to Scarab's Surf Stream


It is a very different concept/design - deflecting water sideways (as compared the Gatlin Wedge which primarily dampens and redirects jet wash from above)

The rope is too long and the board idk. I'd just buy the deflector to try and buy a better rope and board elsewhere.
