I think we might be looking to upgrade our SX192 to a 24' (if I can convince the wife ;)) When we bought it it was our first boat so we didn't want to get into something that was too big for us to handle as newbies. Now that we're in it, it's definitely too small to take friends out on without being crowded.

My question now is would you jump on an end of season 2016 model if the discounts were enticing enough as well as the Yamaha financing options before they expire or wait for the 2017 and pay full price on a new model that may or may not have enough changes to get excited about?

There are a couple of dealers nearby that have inventory left but only a handful and they're beginning to discount them to move through them before they start receiving the 2017's.

I would wait till the 2017 details are announced and jump on a '16 if nothing new changes your mind.

I don't foresee much changing on the 24' models since they just updated that whole line. 2017 might have a few different colors/graphics, maybe a few tweaks/features here and there. See if any of those changes are 'must haves', if they aren't go for a '16.
