It's confirmed - no more 24'

Based on the pictures on the Flickr site, I don't think they do. I don't see a handle on the sides of the seats to move them forward or back. Yeah, that is a bummer but not worth the extra $40,000 either you'd have to pay for the 255XD. I do like that they added the walkthrough though.
I hate that there's not a walkthrough video on this one cause sometimes pics when they're not of the real thing leave small details out so I'm hoping there are handles and the seats do move. Not a deal breaker though. I zoomed in on the pics of the real boat on the water and no handles.
 
I am disappointed in the AR250's small connext screen in the floating mount. They could of done better than that.

Yeah, that is a bit disappointing but not a deal breaker for us. I'm just glad the price didn't sky rocket.
 
Sold my 2018 AR190 for 31k..... put 2000$ down on the AR250 they will cover price increase from the 2020 up to 2k

Wow, you made that deal with perfect timing. Who would have thought you could command that sort of price on a boat that was released at this time three years ago!! Minus tax, license fees, that boat was $30,299 MSRP fall of 2017!

If son 2, who wants to surf, stays in LA with his brother, we may transition to the Regal 2500. Just behold those sweet loungers!

At least the screen is now in front of the driver......i really hated last years setup with the phone holder in front of the driver and the small screen offset to the right.....
 
There is no way the seats aren't sliding on every 25 footer.

I just can't tell. If you watch the walkthrough video on the 255XD, there are handles to slide the seats forward and back. These handles are not there on the AR250.

You should look at the Monterey M4 AND M6 as well (they have powered loungers). The only issue is we expect grandkids down the road so want something that COULD wakesurf in the future, and forward facing I/O’s jump the prices up quite a bit....
 
@haolegirl70 I see it, but it could just be some pre production images. I can't see why the seats wouldn't slide on the all if in fact the model has the seats. But that is common sense, you never know.

They dont.......if there is no butt pad, there is no movement.....

You can see the track/slots for movement on the first picture (252S), and no slots on the second picture (AR250)C643878C-06E9-4106-AC2B-7AB9B309F4E4.jpegE33DF47E-7658-4A3B-AA35-147FA57AD2FC.jpeg

There’s a STUNNING black M4? on our lake, I chat with the capt often. It’s funny, and good I suppose, that EVERYONE loves the boat they own :)
 
WRT the rear loungers, from the photos on Yamahaboats.com they're on the 252 models but not on the SX/AR250s...
Bummer.
 
It does have a bigger gas tank and a large floating mount on the dash (which I personally think I would despise).

It just may keep me out of the 250. Very sad.
