Is August!!! bring the 2017 Yamaha boat line up

[Bruce]

@malibu Dan, I am eagerly awaiting the announcement of the triple engined 30' trailerable cabin cruiser for just under $100K!

 

[2nazt]

Alright folks... Next week are the big reveals.. I need some rumors to tide me over the weekend. Once I get the new boat home I
promise pics will follow..

I heard that they will say 2017 on the title

It would also be great if they could figure out how to move the radio out of the glove box on the 19's.

Some years a change in the year on the title is all we get. This is not one of those years!

There are at least 2 new things for every boat in the line up.....

You are a tease!

 

[malibu Dan]

Aaaaagghhh..... I know I know.... Tick Tock Tick Tock

 

[Ronnie]

You are a tease!

If it were anyone else but Julian I would say the other change besides the year in the title is the cost.

Making videos with voiceovers and effects is a PITA! I need to either 1) take a class on this editor (Cyberlink Powerdirector 14) or find a forum member who loves to edit movies!!!! LOL Templates just don't work...so I have to start from scratch....and building effects is time consuming!

Post what you have so far up here and we will help you!

I would buy a new E series 24 in a heartbeat if they would fix that heinous bimini cage top...

I adore my huge bimini and so do all my guests....also think it looks cool....but everyone has a different perspective (perhaps you live up north?)

Every boat will have 2 engines and they will be the TR1's. Excellent! Finally, a next generation LS2000 for me!

Perhaps a next generation LX210?

Agreed - it will be called a 21. They presumably nailed it but the only consideration now will be price. As we hover into the +$45K range, there are many I/O options that come into play.

Can't wait to see this play out -

From the outside looking in the Bimini on the new E series looks cool, but you can't put in. I actually like having the top up, but my wife doesn't. Anyways I know you guys with the E series are going to be biased, but you have to agree it would be nice to have the option to retract the Bimini top. I think it was a huge fail on Yamaha's part with that design.

Obviously I don't agree because the top is one of the reasons why I bought this model. There are plenty of places to sit in the bow and stern that are not covered. My wife likes to hang out in the bow. We have the best of both worlds. Also I wouldn't call it a fail on Yamaha's part. They have sold a lot of theses boats, and if you don't like it, the AR240 is a great boat too.

We never go out without the bimini up and as @bobs4state points out, there are plenty of places you can sit if you want sun. I understand why some don't like it, but its just like tower and non tower models....I was REALLY disappointed with the boats that had tiny biminis...now they have good options for those that want/don't want big biminis!

And the two changes I mentioned earlier and not the price and the words 2017! I don't have the prices yet....(although I do have a document they sent that I haven't read yet....man videos take a lot of time to edit....expecially when you are a newbie on the software!!) ......2.5 days.......
