Increasing cost of new boats?

Y’all making my brain hurt.
 
I love the fact that after I ordered my Vortex in 2015 with nearly every upgrade, I am still able to keep upgrading to match current features since the hull and cockpit hasn't changed yet. I have added the transom filler cushions, the bow chaffing plate, extra table and mount, the gas strut for the port glovebox, and so on. I'd love to add the steering wheel controls for the radio ect, but that's a little advanced for my platform.
 
Uh kids! This is what I am talking about. I could not make it out in the original photo, but we all know what that is!!!

The paddle control is coming to the other boats besides the 275!!!! Thanks for brightening this up Hangoutdoors!!!! Do not overlook this. As this is what will shut up the naysayers that are saying Yamaha is playing catch up. This tech is not in any other boat, other than the 275, until one week from now!

And guess what, the next leak will be something pointing at a supercharged 1.8, or the swim up seats. Take that to the bank! Nice work!
@biffdotorg .....paddle control on other models would change EVERYTHING! ......SVHO1.8 would be pretty awesome too! :cool:
