2021 FSH 252 Sport Thread

[Drag]

Nothing

I have heard the same thing. Yamaha is focused on releasing its most popular models. Even though selected dealers were sent the new FSH 252 it was designed to test the market. That reaction if positive would move the 252 into full production. If it was in my budget I would not hesitate to purchase the 252.

Well after talking with my dealer it sounds like it's going to be next year before I get this boat. Possibly April.

Guess I'll buy a new truck.
2021 Ram Limited Night Edition here I come.

The access to the back deck looks cumbersome. So you nee to remove two back seat cushions and fold that down first and possibly a middle or side cushion?
As someone that would be buying this primarily as a family boat and would rarely fish, that would be annoying if I am viewing that correctly.

 

[Dave Biel]

Heard from the dealer. I guess Yamaha is finally getting around to building these boats. He said all pre orders that had money down will be honored at the MSRP price, and they have to be a certified order. Any boat not certified will be $2500 more, and $5000 more for 2022. Delivery time frame is end of January to March.

 

[Zackdadams]

Great news!

 

[Drag]

Interesting. I’ll try and confirm with my dealer.

I just watched a video review of the 242x.
It has the same engines as the FSH 252; Twin 1.8L HO's.
It's roughly the same size as well.

Time to Plane: 2.6 sec
0-30 MPH: 5.6 sec
Top Speed: 50.7 MPH

Will that translate over to the 252?
Maybe. Maybe not.
We'll just need to wait and see.
Will it get me out to the islands quickly?
Yup.
Will it improve my fishing skills?
Sadly, no.

It looks to me like the 252SD maybe a close comparison to the 252 FSH as they both use 25’ hulls and the same normally aspirated 1.8 L engines. From boat test .com



And from Boating magazines test of the 255 FSH E

So I'm going to have the dealer install a Minn Kota trolling motor.

The iPilot System is amazing.
I was recently out fishing on a friends 23'.
We pulled up to an artificial reef out in the gulf, and he hit "spot lock".
The boat stayed right there without an an anchor.
I was amazed!
Definitely getting one on the 252.

You will be very happy with the Ulterra troller.... if you were to somehow swap out the Simrad for a Hummibird the troller works with the Humminbird to give you things like depth contour line following, and a whole slough of other features. Its all part of the one boat network.

I used my Ulterra a lot this last summer, probably 200 hours on it at least and it worked great, still learning how to exploit all of the features..

I heard from my dealer with the same info. Glad I put $ down. Otherwise, no guarantee on delivery in 21. And would’ve been paying more.

 

[Zackdadams]

Just heard from my dealer today.
They said the FSH 252 is just starting to go into production and that they expect delivery around February or March.

I also pre-ordered with money down, days before it was announced.

cool. Keep us updated Zack. I’m really hoping February so I have lots of time to prepare trolling motor, etc.

 

[Zackdadams]

That's a good problem to have!

I just saw this at gr marine in Connecticut. Is this first production model or the prototype still going around?

 

[Zackdadams]

That's a 255, so probably a Prototype.

 

[Zackdadams]

I'm seeing all of these other boats being delivered...hoping ours is next!

yes sir. I’m starting to get REAL antsy.... haha.

spending time working out trolling motor details, VHF, etc.

I’d like to know that full and CC covers will be available to purchase but I’m not hopeful...

I have an ambitious plan to build a new structure to house my boat and truck. I don't have a garage, so I've been wanting to build something for many years.

The plan is for it to be 25' x 40'.
But I want to get the boat first.

I helped a neighbor build a 25' x 48' pole barn, and it only cost him $7k in materials, including metal roofing. So relatively affordable.

Great plan, Go as large as you can with that building, you'll fill it! 12' + overhead doors
