25 Footers Are Leaving The Factory!

My comment from my sales guy is that they receive an invoice from Yamaha when the boat actually ships. However, they can look in the system and see an estimated ship date. One of the post earlier from a Jacksonville dealer indicated that estimated ship dates had been rolled back. My guess is a lot of dealers are understandably reluctant to share estimated ship dates because it is so uncertain.

Any dealership that gave you ship dates that early in Aug is BSing you 1000% and you should run and find you a new dealership. They can see if the boat has been built and even then they will not know an exact ship date.

So I ordered my boat on August 12...first had a ship date of 9/11, then 9/18, then 9/25, then I was rolled all the way back to 11/6. Good to see some boats being delivered but I am wondering if there are others with a similar experience?

The next question you need to ask is IF they actually had initially ordered the model/trim boat you are wanting. Each dealership is only authorized an amount dependent on previous years sales plus a standard markup.

I finally got a chance to look at a AR250 in person, first reaction these things are HUGE! I have a 19', I also looked at a 21' before getting in the AR250. It must be the layout, however I rented a Sea Ray 270 last November in Florida and in all honesty the inside of this AR250 felt bigger. Obviously I didn't try to get into the head, however I'm pretty sure the Sea Ray 270 has more space in there. Overall I'm impressed with the 250, too big for my boating needs. However if I wanted a boat this big it would be on my list.

Updated this thread with:

10/28 Updated with info from Yamaha to confirm 25' boats all have 75 Gallon tanks not 70 as they previously reported.

Anyone found the fuse or area for the use of the two accessory buttons on the dash?

You can add a drain plug light or drilled through underwater lights.

I was actually looking for power to interior light BUT I do want to add an Boatplug light on the drain. This seems to be the least evasive way to get underwater lights

Thanks guys...I quess due to the electronic steering on the SD it just stopped unevenly. As soon as I turned on the power, the lower bucket raised itself up

Picking this one up soon! Actually this is the 252SE. Got dibs on the SD. First time Yamaha owner. Major upgrade from my Playbouy pontoon boat.

 

[mrcleanr6]

[ugamarkj]

Yep, super excited! Now the long wait for boating season to begin. Though I'm hoping for a few good days before winter to drop it in the water.

Has anyone received any delivery dates for 255XD models yet? I'm guessing early next year, but would appreciate any intel (dealer won't give dates until it's about to ship).

Honestly, I think its because they dont know until its about to ship. The one I ordered, they had no idea until they got the notification from Yamaha that it was shipping that week.

My dealer in tennessee says should be this month. They have a 255 XE in stock.

Congratulations! Beautiful boat...what color is the exterior? You'll have to let us know what you think about the D Paddle Shifters.

Seems like they’ve been only sending the blue/warm SDs the last few weeks. Still waiting on my black/cool...
