Same BS I got from PD when I began my search.I checked with Phil Dill and they told me the boats they have are all sold. They also told me that since I am out of their area, Porter ,TX in Houston they would not sell to me and I would have to go through one of the dealers here.
When did you put your deposit down on your boat? Did you have a boat from their 2022 allocation?Our dealer told us they get an allotment from Yamaha each year for each model... the internal waiting list is used to get those models once they arrive. Unfortunately for us we were bumped from 2022 to 2023 but very high on the list so we should see it for sure next season, still rocking our old Yamaha till we get that call.
Your second question is an important one. I’ve been told the latest the boat would arrive is the end of June due to the model year switchover but I don’t see how that date could be firm. Parts and/or transportation issues are unlikely to be resolved within the month. Makes me wonder what will happen to MY ‘22 boats that aren’t ready before switchover date?When did you put your deposit down on your boat? Did you have a boat from their 2022 allocation?
Oct 2021, no I was 3rd down on the list from the last of their allocations, so I was rolled to 2023. One of the two ahead of me bought a different model that was unclaimed so I should get on the first shipment of 2023When did you put your deposit down on your boat?

Our dealer got their final shipment last week. Nothing now until next year,....the yard is still full of boats, but the diagnostics and detail take forever so I'm sure that within a month or so it will be clear againYour second question is an important one.

Exactly what I was worried would happen. We passed on one we could’ve had to hold out for the one we wanted not long ago. Long term I’ll be happier we did but right now I sure wish I could get out on the water.They will be stripped of parts and shredded. Same thing happened last year. Once they roll to their new model year lineup the 22s would have to be rebadged as 23s.
I’ve heard the same but I remain skeptical that in the next 30 days Yamaha will be able to pull it altogether. I hope they do as I’m one of the those supposed to get a 2022. Still, can’t help but wonder if some will slip or we’ll see fit/finish issues on these remaining boats. To end on a note of optimism, my dealer did say Yamaha’s struggling to get enough transportation. Let’s hope the boats aren’t waiting on parts any longer and it’s just a matter of getting them on a truck ?My dealer is still saying that they are supposed to get their entire allotment they were promised in August. If people ordered a boat from a dealer that exceeded their allotment then they will be switched to a 2023 once they start making them.

Did you get 2 week notification or did it just show up?Ordered my FSH210 in October ‘21. Arrived at the dealership today. I’ll get it Saturday.
We were already informed we were bumped to 2023, due to the allotted boats to our dealer being filled. I think it has allot to do with the buying power of the dealer and the timing of the order from the dealer.I’ve heard the same but I remain skeptical that in the next 30 days Yamaha will be able to pull it altogether.

Sorry to hear that. To confirm, you’re saying the dealer received all the boats they were allotted already and not that they received less than the original allotment, correct?We were already informed we were bumped to 2023, due to the allotted boats to our dealer being filled.
