How long have you been waiting? Some people are getting boats with zero wait. Others have been on reservation lists since last winter. All depends on what you want and what the dealer's reservation list and allocations look like.

Beginning of March. I am just impatient lol but yeah I know it's a waiting game but was curious if it's any different than last year's slow year

Haha yeah some people, especially on the Facebook groups, seem to think a few weeks is forever.

Oh yeah I've seen it! Crazy to see people get one after having the deposit down for 2 weeks... Frustrating

I have to think the folks getting their boats in short time periods are just lucky. Most likely, they are getting a boat that someone else had reserved at a dealership and then canceled their order and the dealership then had a boat for their next customer. As there are virtually no factory options on these boats, people wouldn't know the difference (aside from color) if the boat they received was their order or someone else's.

That is all it is. There are a lot of cancellations and people backing out. I got a call from dealer on a 25' FSH a couple days ago. Had it in and wanted to know if I wanted it. Original guy backed out. I had to pass. The timing is not right. He let me know he will call me on the next one he gets in and there was someone else who wanted it but gave me the option first.

Yeah I get it. Just frustrating to see people getting boats that soon when they only had been waiting for a week or 2. Thanks for explaining that

If you haven't received your boat yet, you may do well calling around, if you plan on using in the upcoming months. You could probably bounce into one.

Yeah I could but I'd lose my 1k deposit. It's no biggie just have the itch to be out on the water. Good news is Texas weather is boating weather almost year round

How do you lose your deposit? Deposits are refundable.

Since the boat is ordered I'd lose my deposit according to them.

Which dealer? I waited 3 months from Phil Dills in Lewisville, didn't put a dime down.

Pretty sure this is illegal, do you have a signed document outlining this?

Saw three shrink wrapped Yamaha's on a semi trailer at a rest area south of Toledo on I-75 yesterday heading north. Hope they find good homes.

Just a receipt with my payment. So no not really. Just thought it was a normal thing.

Yeah without a T&C explaining the rules around the non-refundable I am nearly certain it is illegal. I would search around for a boat, if you find one then get your deposit back. No point in stirring the pot with the current dealer yet.

That's where my 252SD is on order via Mindy.

I just picked up my 212XE from there last Friday. Ordered it in August. I got my deposit back from Ski Dock in Austin who couldn't tell me when I might get a boat.
