Remember. This was Yamaha's boat yard in all directions just 15 days ago. The person who took the picture said he saw Yamahas in every direction just sitting there ready to be shipped. 2021's or 2022's? Any bets?

Right! And a price increase. That’s pretty crappy for already built boats waiting on something. Not like they’re paying the higher prices for materials on those. But who knows anymore

You are making assumptions that those boats are going to be turned into 2022's. Boats have been being delivered all over the country over the past couple weeks from the Yamaha plant, since people have been picking them up as indicated, here, other forums, social media, etc. We just hear more from those whom haven't received their boat or got canceled. Just not everyone got a boat and a lot more where cancelled. Unless there is a current picture as of today I would assume that most of those have already left if they could find the parts that were needed.
Additionally, because of the process by which Yamaha colors their boats and it is put in the Gel Coat, not painted on, if they release new colors for the new Model Year it will be a good indicator that they are not using already built boats.
Furthermore, nothing prevents them from finishing any 2021's that they have left over and sending them out to dealers as 2021's with perhaps an incentive or the original MSRP if there is a price increase for 2022.
A lot of conjecture going on, I am sure it isn't pleasant for those waiting, but until things shake out and proper announcements and facts come out, that is all it is. Just need to sit and hang tight for the next 30 days, give or take, and see all the factual info as it is released.
Ouch, that sucks--the 252SE seemed to be one of the models they actually made a fair amount of. I put my deposit down on a 252SE in mid-August and was very lucky to have it delivered mid-September (I think the very first batch of 252SE's they made). If you roll over your deposit to a 2022, hopefully it's delivered soon and they can honor the 2021 pricing!

Any one still waiting on a boat from Wonderland Marina? Emailed my sales guy today, but have not heard back. I think today’s is day off. I would hope they would be proactive on updating customers of order are being bumped.
I just got of the phone with my yamaha dealer and I formed that multiple people in online forms got the news that their orders have been canceled in the past few days.
But dealer said that there was a yamaha sales guy who came today to his store and there was no such news of cancelation from yamaha. He said will let me know if he hears anything new and asked me to wait for 2 weeks to get the exact delivery date.

Drove by Cycle Springs in Clearwater, FL today, somebody is getting a new boat! I'm #8 on the list for a 2022 SX190. They said many people ahead of me will take any 19' they receive so may move up, not holding my breath.
I didn’t call today, figured I give a day or two to reply. I’ve been dealing with AJ, Reading their website looks like he may have been recently bumped up to sales manager.
