If and that's a huge (IF) I were to buy a boat over a $100k, I want to be able to sleep on it

Too costly and frankly not attractive at all. Those side glass areas are (in my opinion) the ugliest things i have seen out of Yamaha, dont like the square loungers, and gas at $4 gallon, 90 gallons is $360 for a day of water sport play, but I did like the in water seats. $129,000 that's exactly $100,000 more than my 2006.

I agree 100% on the looks, it is an ugly boat. I was really hoping for a lot more from Yamaha on this boat and am very disappointed. My next boat will be 25-27ft, so it looks like I'll be going back to a stern drive

I think if Yamaha upped the size of the pumps and got back to a naturally aspirated engine the performance and consumption would be better. Remember the old jet boats? Throwing tails and hauling ass. Berkley Pumps and torque = I feel the need for speed!
