Dealer boat swap

Does anyone happen to know if Yamaha dealers can get a boat from another dealer? Similar to how car dealerships move cars between each other!

Absolutely. Don’t know if it’s as common as with cars, but was done without Issues in my case.

Me too. My dealer was in upstate NY and swapped with a dealer in New Jersey.

My dealer in Ky. drove all the way to Mo. to get the boat I wanted last fall . Absolutely they work with each other.

You guys are lucky, I couldn’t get any of the dealers in NJ or NY to swap for me. It was literally like they didn’t want to sell a boat at all. Ignored emails and phone calls, told me I was out of luck, etc. I ended up getting it from PA instead. I was truly shocked.

The current timing could be a factor as I doubt most dealers would want to let any inventory go right now. However, in "normal" times they will want to move inventory and help other dealers as they can usually just get a new boat in a few weeks or so. When I bought my 2018 Glastron my dealer out of Lake of the Ozarks, Surdyke Yamaha brought the GTS187 in from Skipper Buds in North Chicago Area.
