Saw the 242 at Port Royale in Lake Lanier! She's actually very pretty in person.

275?

--
 
Nice, I think this is the first time the 27' has been spotted in the wild.



I still hate it, lol.


Edit: Just saw the 'do not enter without salesperson' flyer. Still waiting to see one of these privately owned.
 
It was late. I was tired. Wrong title. 275 haha.
 
You know, I just realized one thing that might make this worth buying—the walkthrough! No more screaming, “Why the hell are you stepping on the seats to enter!!?!?” :mad:
 
I like the looks.....and....not that I could afford 100K plus, I hate that they added that extra 6" to the beam. Makes it illegal to tow in Texas without a special permit. Though convenient, I also dont like the walkthru at the back. Too worried about a kid easily walking right to the stern, especially while on the move.

For what it's worth, there is a divider that blocks of the stern from the cockpit

The 275 will probably draw enough attention and boost sales of the 24 ft series as well.

Something like: oooh look at that awesome boat... wait it costs how much? Nah, gimme the one that costs half as much!
 
Still can’t get past the profile/lines of the boat and that windshield. The only thing I dig about this boat was the swimdeck seats below the water but it sucks they aren’t integrated and just retract in/out of the swim platform. Instead you have to fiddle with yet another attachment.

Same issue in my eye...... Love the extra space but who came up with that profile and then indents (however you explain it) the windshields like that? What do you do with the empty window sill space behind the fwd seat headrests now? Good space for potted plants or book ends.
 
^^^potted plants and book ends :D :D
 
Not just because I cant afford a 100k plus boat, but it is the most hideous design I have ever seen. I love all the Yamaha designed boats except it. And it seems for the money it may be underpowered. Am I wrong about that?
