So I went to my local Yami dealer and looked at a new boat. Wanted to see the new changes for the 2015 model. Very nice but I noticed a couple things. I see they reverted to a plastic drain plug instead of the metal/chrome on mine. Concerning the anchor locker, will a box anchor fit? It looks like the opening is much smaller even though the locker itself is bigger.

MSRP is $64, 249 with Galv trailer (15" wheels). This is including freight and prep. I think they charge $850.00 per motor on the prep. What are they doing for $850? Oh, they are also including a Yamaha mooring cover.

Thinking........

No prep, no delivery, no nothing extra for my boat. Paid MSRP and they threw in a about 4k of extras. I'd try another dealer. MSRP for that bait should be around $61,000

Prep fee = 'free' cover and any other 'discount' they offered.

Guess they don't want to sell a boat at those prices. Not that I NEED a new boat, I do like mine. Thanks Gents..
