I think we will be happy long term with the AR195. Haven’t seen a 195 in person but did get to see the Wasn’t prepared for the upgrade but can adjust and be happy to be on the water in 2022!
We're still in a holding pattern for our 2022 212S that we put a deposit down on back in early October 2021. Our dealer has been consistently receiving one to three boats every couple of weeks. Just not ours, not yet. We've been reassured that it has not been canceled, and is on the way. Hope so, as we've already been picking up accessories, some of which are specific to the 1.8L N/A engine set. We have also been reading other online information that suggests that Yamaha will not let delayed 2022 production to in any way effect 2023 production come August.
I’m going to call my dealer this morning but very frustrated with the way Yamaha is handling things. No other manufacturer I’ve looked into treats their dealers/customers with this much disregard. I’d still buy the boat if I knew it would arrive but may choose to move on if I can’t get clarity. Just feels like Yamaha takes their customers for granted.
When did you order that 210FSH? I ordered mine on 8/26/21 and still haven't received it. Calling the dealer is a waste of time. Calling the factory is waste of time.
Really sucks man, I know you have been waiting patiently.
Thanks and good to know. I’d be surprised if they tried but never know.
Yea, I ordered another boat brand. If the Yamaha comes in first, I'll consider whether I still want it.
Good for you. I reevaluated our boating priorities and the result made it easier for me to walk away from Yamaha. I still like the boats and think they represent excellent value for the money. However the things that drew me to the boat no longer rank as high in my priority list. This forum has been a huge help. So much experience and knowledge here. Whatever decision you make/direction you go, I hope you’re happy with the outcome.
It is frustrating and completely unnecessary to treat dealers and customers this way. They must have a plan for what they are going to build and where those boats are going - they should provide more info.
I surprised myself by going smaller and spending more money lol. Talley’s uses the LS2 for their surf lessons. Thought it would be a good boat for my boys to learn on. Plus, I’m at the beach with my extended family and they referred to our planned boat purchase as the “family’s boat”. I quickly realized that a smaller boat isn’t actually a bad thing lol! Here’s a link to the boat we chose:

I suppose so. When it’s on the water. Maybe 15 mph there’s white smoke or exhaust coming out near the jet pump.
Long story, but I got mine last year just after the said it was cancelled (Aug. 3 2021). There were a load of cancellations around the last week of July.
