Guest, we are pleased to announce that Hydrophase Ridesteady is offering an extra $100 off for JETBOATERS.NET members on any Ridesteady for Yamaha Speed Control system purchased through March 7th, 2025. Ridesteady is a speed control system (“cruise control”) that uses GPS satellites or engine RPM to keep your boat at the set speed you choose. On twin engine boats, it will also automatically synchronize your engines.
Crazy, the 212s has landed at the dealer ... pick up in a week. Can someone share links to what I need to get. I have a boat cover, Wake booster kit, Wake Surf board, thrust Vectors on hold but I need everything else. Thanks
Wow Tube, Tow Rope, Yamaha Kit with Horn, Flag, throw safety, life jackets, fire extinguisher, silicone spray, thrust vectors for steering for sweet heart, and a tower anchor light I cracked tapping a bridge. $ 20 replacement, not a Yamaha $ 200 plus ripoff one. Same Part except Yamaha wants you to purchase entire unit.
boat cover, Wake booster kit, Wake Surf board, thrust Vectors, anchor, fire extinguisher, fenders/bumper, Tube, battery booster, tool kit. Going to wait on most other thing this year
I would run it a bit to see if there are any issues, rather than waiting 6-8 months. If possible. That way if there are you can have the dealer fix them before next season, when you don't want to have down time.
My 212XD finally arrived exactly one year from placing my deposit. It did end iup being a 2022 instead of the 2021 I ordered, but the dealer (River Valley Marine, MN) did honor the 2021 price so I didn't have to pay the mark-up. Kudos' to River Valley Marine on that front. Looking forward to catching up on all of the boating I missed last summer. Now if the snow would melt early...

Congratulations , you will love the new boat. Not sure if you had a jet boat before, if not it takes a little practice getting use
to the slow speed steering . Glad to hear the dealer honored your 2021 price , I understand their was about an
8% increase.. Good luck /enjoy and hoping for an early spring and summer .
Enjoy your Christmas and New Years stay safe
Not to rain on your parade, but we waiting over a year for a SX190 2021 and they canceled our order. Told us we were in line for a 2020, but couldn’t tell us anything about the boat or when it might come in and btw there is a 3,800 increase! So thank goodness the used AR195 2019 came in and we jumped on it! I’m surprised they are telling you the 2021’s are still coming in when they told us that Yamaha said they were not making anymore. I’d be a bit suspiciou.
