My comment to Yamaha, if your going to continue to put this junk in stop drilling a hole in the fiberglass! Put LED’s on the trailer, put a roller that doesn’t scratch the hull, a heavier duty jack stand, boat buckles or something similar and put radial tires on the trailer. If your raising prices just charge more so people don’t have to replace junk! My other comment is let people start picking colors or at least have an option for the interior colors (cool or warm). Keep in mind I’m a big Yamaha fan, however listen to your customers. People have been complaining about this stuff for years.
27 foot boats have LEDs, all E-Series boats have boat buckles. Never had an issue with my jack stand. Would be nice to be able to special order color combos....but I get why they don't.
My 16 AR240 came with boat buckles and leds on trailer as well
Does the 212xe come with boat buckles and LEDs?
They never include buckles in their specs. LEDs
Any idea if this was considered a 2022 or a 2021, because it's got the exact same color scheme as my 2021 252SE (meaning it would be really disappointing of Yamaha if they called it a 2022 and jacked up the price).
It’s the same as the 2021 212X. Rear hard tanks by the engine compartment to give full use of the storage compartments.Im sure its the same
I may be in the minority but I think this looks higher end than the 2021 graphics. Lots of blank space here to add something, too. Hopefully the dealer calls me sooner than later.
Lets start a Go Fund Me for Kernsy.
I hear ya. These things are getting out of control on the price surges.
The surge in prices is making me rethink my purchase. My wife and I went into this thinking we wanted a a 212 SD. Researched it on YouTube, and wouldn't you know it the video auto rolled to the next one which was the Boat Test of the 252 SD. We fell in love with the extra space, water seats, Bimini, Yacht Blue with the warm interior, fold down table and head compartment. Worked out the $$$ (stretch) and then we hear about the surge, change in color and no major options upgrade for the extra money.
It is a solid plan. I am on the same plan, potentially. As long as no life surprises crop up this winter. 2022 boats will get another price increase, every year it is the same, although this year it has been much larger. Will have to see how production lines go over the next 10-12 months.
