Deposit For 2021 Yamaha and still waiting?

[jetboatjay]

We picked up our 2021 AR195 last Thursday from B&E Marine in Indiana. They had 3 picked up that day, with 9 more on the way. All 9 had deposits, but B&E did not know the ship dates.

Has anyone heard from their dealer today? Any delivery dates yet? Mine is still not giving any info.

Called this afternoon thinking I would have a boat this week , but told again next week.
I put my deposit down July 6th. The wait continues..

 

[Scboater]

Mine doesn't even say next week. They just don't know lol....I made deposit on July 3rd

I feel ya brother, supposedly we are not the only ones waiting. Nationwide boat shortages.
I’m just glad I’m in the position to own a new boat soon. It will be worth the wait.

Hey I bought a polar center console in April. It caught fire in may inside the hull. The wiring shorted and caused it. The dealer bought it back in July that's when I went to Yamaha. So I bought a boat and only used it 2 weeks then sent it back and then had to order a new one. This has been a sucky year for boats for me. It was a brand new 2020 boat also.

Put a deposit down on a 2021 AR195 in mid-July. Dealer still has no update unfortunately. Last I heard is that when it ships they'll get a few days notice or heads up that it is inbound but when the dealer gets that shipping notice...who knows! I was going to call them in the next day or two and see if they've got any updates. I'll report back if I hear anything new.

Sounds like we're all in the same boat my dealer has no info even after today I'm gonna quit bugging them... For rest of this week anyway!

My dealer found out on Saturday that the boat was arriving Tuesday. Short notice!

Also called another dealer on the west coast. I could be #6 on the list for an AR195 but he didn't anticipate it would arrive until mid November. They already took delivery of the new ones and we all gone already

Ha, I think so! For whatever its worth to anybody...last time I spoke to them a week or two ago they said 1) "We'd be surprised if it wasn't here by the middle of August" and 2) Dealers further north will have priority in getting pre-orders first (due to the shorter boating season) but no idea as to how true that second statement is, its just what they had told me.

Wow that's what I was wondering.... I'm in Montana driving to Idaho to the closest dealer to buy it. Our season is only another month at best.
My dealer thought they would have arrived by now, we're told they were only waiting on manuals and remote controls for stereo, owner packet type stuff.

I assume we are also dealing with shipping constraints. Everything else I've ordered lately is delayed at least a couple days

That would make sense except a few of the ones posted that have taken delivery already were in Florida. They are all over the place as far as delivery.

 

[Ryno]

Also Indiana and Oregon...? Your right pretty random but maybe some dealers have at least some priority

Ordered a 210 FSH SPORT today and the dealer gave me a window of September to February

Wisconsin Here, deposit down for a 195S 2nd week of July.... similar to many posts here, no info from the dealership. Last I heard they were reaching out to Yamaha reps for more info, but they dont have any answers or updates. Hoping to get some of the season in!

 

[Scboater]

So just asked my dealer and was told the orders he put in a month ago are as of today showing accepted by Yamaha online. So until today the orders were just sitting in limbo. And now they can be filled he says.

2021 FSH 195 Available in Jacksonville Florida

I agree with hating the middle man. When I first decided I wanted to buy one I went to the website thinking I could order one and have it shipped to me. But that is not the case. Also the first dealer Yamaha site gave me did not even sell Yamaha boats.

same thing happened to me. I ordered my boat 8 hrs away from my house!

I hope that not the case. Im starting to get frustrated.
