Huh. That place is going down so fast... Do they show a pre-2018 bimini/tower? And... OLD PUMP NOZZLES? That has been the major change in 2019 - did they miss it?

I know! They show it as (2019+)!
I just thought it was a nice lookin' boat! lol
 
Pretty sure they haven't updated that since maybe 2016? Was that the first year the eSeries was introduced?
 
Yeah it's the OG LSE
 
Yeah they pretty much just use old stock footage across the board on the Yamahas. I am guessing that's standard for other makes as well. Their opinions have always been useless, but if you don't have a dealer nearby it's still useful to see someone crawling on the boat and opening lockers for perspective.

I agree, I USED TO love watching their videos...
They are just not accurate anymore. I understand and don't mind the commercial bend and their unwillingness to be critical, but they are way off on a lot of key info.
Oh well, as long as we have @Bruce and @Julian willing to keep THIS site running I'm not worried, lol.
