25 Footers Are Leaving The Factory!

[tkeru408]

I got a call from my dealer this morning. I thought he was just calling to make sure I knew that the Yamaha product tour was going to be there today. He says yeah, but I also called to tell you that your 252SE has shipped and should be arriving tomorrow or Monday! He believes it's the black one with blue stripe/white bottom. Once it arrives, I can decide if I want to take that one or wait for a blue one to arrive (no idea when that might be, though). I'm still going to drive down there today to check out the 255XD and 255 FSH prototype models on display for the day, but I'm super excited that I'll be back down there soon enough to see my own boat!

That is great news. Really looking forward to some solid reviews and very detailed pictures.

For those waiting on a 195 series boat for so long, do you ever wonder? Maybe Yamaha may ship first boats that you may easily be upsold to? Obviously that would not be a 250 series, but it does make me wonder. Of course they will ship the lines that have the most pre-orders of. But I am making an assumption that they only have limited lines, and they may be building a particular hull size on each line. Who knows.

Just a thought that it would not surprise me if your dealer saw a 210 come in sooner and give you an offer that my be tough to refuse.

Id appreciate it, when you see your dealer or someone from yamaha at the tour if they know when the 27’s are going to start shipping.

I'll try to remember to ask the Yamaha rep while I'm there.

I figured that's the dealer you were referencing as I knew the tour was there. Wish I could have made it today. Crazy busy with work.

Thank you

you going with the XD?

 

[tkeru408]

you going with the XD?

My deposit on the 252SE. The SE has all the features we're looking for and then some. I couldn't justify an extra $4K just for the Drive on the SD and we're not really wakesurfers so didn't feel the need to get an XE or XD. I am interested to see the 255XD at the tour today. Leaving in about an hour to head down there.

Thats awesome news! I have a deposit on a 252se at Marine Max on Lake Wylie near Charlotte. Maybe I will get it this month.

I was notified that my AR250 has been released but they are waiting on windshields per my dealer In IL

Hope you hear good news soon! Did you go see the prototype 255XD and 255FSH when they were at MM-Lake Wylie earlier this week?

 

[scbruet]

Yeah I stopped by. They handed out some free drink tickets and gift cards to the restaurant next door, so that worked out! haha
Plenty of room in the 25', but it's my first boat so I have nothing to compare it to. I'm glad the 252se has the storage space instead of the ballast tanks. My wife hates that galley, but we will see how that plays out.

@tkeru408 What is this Yamaha Tour you speak of, and how can I find out when it will be near me?

Lol I’m lost how is it released but with no windshield.... I’m waiting on a AR250 as well but my dealer always acts like they know nothing

Reach out to your local dealer. Basically yamaha is bringing the new boats around to specific dealers.
