Can't wait for my Yacht Blue 195S to arrive. This is the one in Miami (I'm in PA) but at least that means they are shipping. Once anyone gets a blue in real life, please let us know.
This is my first post but wanted to get everyone's opinion on the color scheme and interior of the new 2021 Yamaha 195s. Just put a deposit on it and mine is supposed to be coming in next week. At first i thought i hated the color scheme and interior but the more i look at it its really growing on me. They quoted me OTD at 46,406. im trying my best to let me out at $45k. let me know everyone's opinions!
I just bought AR 195S it’s coming in Wednesday day I got it with a custom cover that I don’t have to Lower tower $870 they give you a cheap cover. Out the door DMV, galvanized trailer all options and taxes all. 45038 ready to go.

I was in a similar situation i didn’t haven a vehicle capable of towing anything larger. This is the 1.5 liter 4 cylinder turbo Ford Escape: towing capacity is 2000 pounds. It struggles to pull the boat up HUGE hills ( I live in PA) but it gets the job done. Before this it pulled my 18foot seadoo challenger that was 2200 pounds for 4 years. Plenty of space. 4-6 extremely comfortable 8 would be a bit tight. can’t believe how much for space it has than my seadoo. It’s only a foot and a half larger but it’s wayyyy more spacious
I dont plan on driving around with the boat. I will be storing it at the marina and I just need to launch it. I was just worried the CRV would be too small. That has 1.5 turbo also. Maybe I will give it a shot.
Glad to hear you like the space. In the pics it looks big. I normally wont have more than 6 but occasionally will have 8. Gotta make it work because I am not getting a bigger boat any time soon...lol
I tried to close with Ski Dock in Austin TX today. I Had verbal quotes from a couple other dealers in TX who would gladly take my deposit based on 2020 pricing ($39,999 & $40,399 were the two 2020 prices I got for 195S in painted trailer).
No dice with Ski Dock! They wouldn’t budge from 2021 pricing ($40,999 for the same 195S w painted trailer).

I didn’t put the deposit down with Ski Dock. Their creativity in negotiating kinda left me bewildered. I even tried to lead them a little saying I’d want the mooring cover, new ropes, anchor, spare wheel etc. they could have given those at cost or a deep discount to close the deal and win a new long term customer. I guess they just don’t need the business or new customers.
I’m getting an AR190 in suede gray / blue. Couldn’t justify the 195 and while I really wanted a 195s last year I like the new colors better but still couldn’t justify the $9k difference. The AR model gives me the bench seat and while it can be added to the 195s , I’m using the savings to upgrade the speakers and add sea dek and will still have some leftover for Accessories.
Strange they wouldn’t work with you , I was able to get them to give me some items free and stuff at cost but maybe the market is doing too well for them now versus when I came in.
Here are the pictures you requested. Ton of storage IMO. I got distracted and missed two compartments .... one on the starboard side rear and the big port rear hinged. SORRY. i went out just to take the pictures and ended up rearranging how i had things stored and completely forgot about those two
