Hi,
Has anyone received ETA on their 255 XE?
 
ours has been here so I know there are some that have come in. I do know they are still having issues as is everyone it seems.

Mine is in! I think the local dealership here in Seattle only got 3... I will be picking it up in the next couple weeks.
Oh and I’ve been out of the game for 5 years and can’t wait to get back on the water ?

Looks great! (Identical to the one I ordered In mid Jan. When did you order yours? My Dealer doesn’t have a ship date yet. It’s getting warm in Texas and I’m getting anxious lol.

I’m glad to see they added hydraulic pistons for the tower. My 2016 Limited SE didn’t have them. Can one person lower the tower without help?

Thanks. I wanna say November and we got it Jan 9 if I recall correctly. The tower goes up and down with ease. Only issue is the bimini top rocks so we have to strap it down to get it in our storage spot. It was clear and then tilted and we hit the roof. Thankfully I was barely moving. And we havent used the boat yet. Been ridiculous cold weather here. Just warming up and may try and get on the water this weekend for some shakedown runs. Yours will be here soon enough I pray. Crazy world right now

Thanks! I hope so too. Dealer still can’t get an
ETA from Yamaha.

My 2016 bimin also rocks when folded. It’s such a big Bimini that needs to tilt in order to be lowered. Besides this minor inconvenience, I absolutely love it. It’s the largest Bimini in the cove and keeps us cool in Texas hot summer

Mine was supposed to be delivered to the dealer on March 3rd. Then March 15. Then March 23. Now unknown. Dealer called yesterday and said the boat is 98% done and only thing it’s missing is the 3 ballast pumps. Once the pumps come in, it’s ready to ship out. Yamaha didn’t know when the pumps would be there. Anyone know if the 2021 boats have a ballast pump that is a new part number for the 255xe or any wake series vs last years model wake series pumps. I haven’t seen anyone post they picked up any of the wake series boats since @mostwanted showed his so I’m wondering if this is a problem across all of 2021 wake series boats
