Back up pre order on boats

[Frankyljr]

Hey everyone,
I called my local dealer today in central FL and gave a deposit on a 2022 Yamaha 210 FSH Sport. They told me they can only add me as a pre-order back up. That means if someone cancels I can potentially take their pre order. Is this common after covid? I’m a little devastated by the news.

Yes, unfortunately, it is the norm now. Call around to other dealers, even out of state you may be able to find one or find a dealer that has one coming in. Another possible solution is to buy a 2021 model that is lightly used with low hours. There are boats popping up now on for sale, like on Facebook Marketplace, etc.
