Hey everyone, new Yamaha 212X owner here. Super excited about it.

Julian, it was nice meeting you today at Chatlee. Your wealth of knowledge that I noticed in the short time we spoke was awesome. Thanks for turning me on to the forum.

That guys at Chatlee are amazing! I bought from them last season and they are a top notch dealer for sure. My first boat came from another dealer and you can definitely tell the difference in knowledge and experience they bring with them as well.

Welcome aboard and great pick on the 212. You have to be close to the start of the season in NC.
