[kgower]

Well, I emailed the dealer asking if he had any updates. Got the call today that the boat is in!!!! Super excited. I’ll pick it up Saturday . It was a 2021 Yamaha 195s, yacht blue

Congrats. Waiting for the same call on our grey suede. Hope it is soon.

My local dealer has only 3 2021s in stock. Said they probably weren't getting anymore anytime soon.

I have a friend with a separate safe for Ammo, claims to have 100,000 rounds various calibers.

I'm in the process of purchasing a separate safe for ammo myself, just waiting on what I want to be in stock. But I'm a little jealous, I only have about half that much ammo.

It was after you! I did it towards the beginning of Nov.. I think like the 11th.

A 21' would be nice and a 25' even nicer. This is our first boat and one of the deciding factors is that we can get it in our garage, additionally my wife and I are probably a little older (late fifties) average newbie. It will be more often than not just us on the boat so it is plenty large enough for us for now. Of course when the grandkids visit from FL once a year they'll join us as will fiends on occasion. Last I have a an ever bigger pile of accessories and upgrades growing in my garage (some are model specific).

50's is not old, it is just a number.

2021 FSH ordered Oct 1st 2020. Talked to the dealer last week. Said we were #2 on the list for our boat. Estimated late February. We started October 1st @ #6 on the list. They are a pretty good sized dealer and sell many brands. South Texas!

Ok.. so the dealer must be a little color blind... my boat is not here ... smh.. he said the paperwork said the boat that came in was blue, but in fact , was grey.... and they just noticed when they were prepping it lol.. so I’m still waiting... not the phone call I wanted to have

 

[HangOutdoors]

@Shir9406 Did they offer you the Grey then? Or was it someone else's boat? Perhaps it could be an option, if you are concerned that yours may not show up. Bird in Hand

@Shir9406 ..... I kinda like the grey and might be tempted to take it. A bird in the hand..... .....Sorry @HangOutdoors I didn't mean to steal your "bird in hand" analogy - honestly - didn't see it until I had posted but yes, during these insane boat buying times if I could live with a color scheme and the boat was available I'd take it!

 

[HangOutdoors]

I guess, though if they are cancelling which means perhaps 2022 and possibly other colors you may or may not like, it may be a consideration. Plus a price increase no doubt. Let's be honest you aren't going to lose money on the purchase anyhow. You can't get the time back.

There isn't nothing wrong with a red head. Just ask my wife.
