I looked at the 255 X that is making its rounds at dealers on the east coast . The boat looks huge on the trailer but i noticed a roughly made hole in the anchor compartment . Please tell me this is not how they are produced0C7B9F7A-7B76-440D-B477-A94A37B5AB7A.jpeg

TBH it is probably how it is going to come out. Some of the fit and finish I find questionable.

I think that is a preproduction boat so it might not be like that.

No reason to be that sloppy with the sealant (silicone, really?) around the bow eye nuts/backing plate either. Use a real marine adhesive or hybrid. QC needs to step it up a notch. But we've know that for a while now.

I didn’t realize they were selling the preproduction models. I’d tell them hell no too!

def a preproduction unit. I saw it this saturday when i went to orde rmy 255xd. There was a TON of questinable rushed workmanship on the 255xd. The fsh 255 and 275 they are bringing to the shows are done well.

I think the 275 that was there was the owners personal boat

My 2018 is worse than that. I think that’s just the way it is on Yamahas.

Inside my 252SE the hole and the sealant aren't quite that sloppy but they're not beautifully finished off either. Not something I care about, it's covered up by 150 feet of rope and 6 feet of chain. FWIW, the exterior of the hole that can actually be seen is properly finished off.
