Yeah.... We bought a new 2019 in suede grey as soon as we returned to San Diego in April.
Still haven't used it as I'm currently deployed on USS TRIPOLI (LHA 7). Boat has been in the shop getting the pole, sound system and a bunch of other stuff done to it. Should be done mid September. We miss Lake Travis and cant wait to get out to Lake Havasu in September.
So excited for you guys!!!
Still waiting to see what the new 242X (0r 252X) looks like for me.
I obviously agree....thanks. I was torn between an AR195 and a 195S but when I saw the Sapphire AR195 it was a no brainer. So much to learn....so much to buy!Pictures do not due justice to the 2021 Blue. Saw it in person when I was picking mine up and it looks 1,000% better in person. Beautiful boat! Enjoy!
Since this is truly a speculation thread based on a piece of literature distributed to a dealer for pre-order purposes, my guess is we have yet to see the full line. Here is one bit of speculation that has some merit based on Yamaha's other product lines.
It is widely known that Yamaha will release new features in their flagship products first for at least one season, and it will trickle down to the more-entry products the following season.
It is also widely known that Yamaha will only develop new engine technology that can be used in more than one product category, otherwise it is not an efficient or cost effective way to recoup R&D investment on said engine.
We are seeing the bread and butter boats that we never expected much change in. We are also seeing boats with the 1.8ltr engine. So with my speculation hat on, we could possibly see the TR1 engine go away, or be replaced with the 1.8 across the board. We could also possibly see the SVHO in the flagship boats in each size hull. 242, 212x etc. or a replacement? I doubt that one. Standardization across the line on the 1.8 makes perfect sense, as I doubt they save much by using the TR1 in weight or power. Just drop a pair of 1.8's in the 210 series and let them enjoy the benefits. As the 2021 x models may have a pair of SC 1.8's for the 210 owners to still lust after the following years.
They probably put out this line up of 2021's based on pre-order 2020's that just could not get filled prior to them re-tooling their plant for 2021 boats. And since they always have prototypes at the dealer show and production models shipping late August/early Sept, then it makes sense that the first ones down the line would be the ones folks have already put a deposit down on, or showed the most demand for.
This leaves me with a sense of excitement that we may see changes to the 212x and possibly 242x. Hull changes are doubtful, but SVHO, and possibly an integrated wake booster of some sort is likely. The lack of supply of the wakebooster kits probably showed yamaha that the demand for surfing with their boats is much greater than anticipated. And it helped to justify just how much we may spend on a more wake specific hull.
Again, this is all just speculation, but it follows the path they lead in Boats, Waverunners, Snowmobiles and ATV's.
Just got confirmation from Team Winnerbagoland that the 27’ now has a high tow point for water sports. It also has Hydroturf on the full interior (same hydroturf they typically use on the swim platform). I’m guessing they had issues with the Marine Mat stuff. I will either be looking at a 242X or a 275 2021 model more than likely but leaning towards 242X. Can’t wait to see the changes they made (25’?, new interior?, new color schemes?) My dealer quoted around 18k on trade for a 2015 SX210. I’m thinking I could sell it myself for around 30 in a few days with this hot market. Thoughts?
Anyone know the release date for the Waverunners ?? I couldn't find anything...
