Take it from me, the black cherry is really nice. I was unsure about the warm interior when i first saw it in pictures but i like it now so much better than the grey.
No worries. I think we will just have to wait and see what happens with the boat market in 2022. I don't know what we will see for next Summer? Lots of people already have orders in for 2022, we will have to wait and see how many of them take delivery of their new boats to see if there are even any left for the model year. If not, I'm not adverse to a fairly priced, lightly used boat. I have a crystal ball, but unfortunately it is cracked and gives questionable data!
I can't order a boat now anyway as I don't want to have 40K - 50K in debt, until after our house is built and our construction loan gets converted into a regular home loan. The Baltimore Boat Show is scheduled for January and hopefully there will be lots of boats to see!
Hoping they make a Black and Red (Not Black Cherry) 255 XD in the next few years. That would be my next boat. That’s many years away for me though as we love the 242X!
I was in line for a 2022 212XE and my dealer called today. Someone backed out on a 2021 212XE and they asked if I wanted it. The only down fall was its the green, and my wife and I had decided on blue. Well with the $$ savings and knowing we can have it now, we changed out mind about the color really fast!

So 10% on the 19 footers, hearing 5 to 6 % on the 25s. Very interesting that the 21s haven't been around. Also, seems the boats that we have been hearing delivered in the late 2021 push were 21 footers.
I'm kind of anxious to see what happens with the 21'. I would love to see a change in the cockpit, more in line with the 19' with the open space behind the helm chair for a table and/or cooler, as I think this really opens up the cockpit. Since our boat will be a couples boat, with one or two guests it would be more functional not to have all the extra seating.
My dealer said the 21' boats are still showing as 21x models on his pricing guide. No change to a 22' for 2022. We are considering the 21' over the 25' because the CFO doesn't like the idea of approaching six figures. I'm trying to figure out a value proposition to justify the extra expense, but I'm struggling to do so at the moment.
Well.... They do have a 22' footer on the drawing board, that I can confirm through a contact. As others have indicated, this probably would of been there year as is kind of inline with what Yamaha has been doing, but probably a bad year to launch a new model with everything going on. As some others have postulated, next year may be better.
I am intrigued by the 22', but I am wondering if the new 22 will be more in line with the former 24' models without a new engine option outside of the svho. The new standard 25s look to be slower then the 24x models just like the 2019 or newer 19 footers are slower with the bigger hull. Just thinking out loud.
