Went to the Chicago show and no FSH. Southbend show as well as the Grand Rapids show in Michigan will not have one either. However looks like Scarab will have their CC there. A bit disappointing.
 
Going to the Seattle show tomorrow, don't expect I'll see one there either
 
After going through the Chicago show and looking at all the CC the Yamaha by far is the best value and bang for the buck. They did have a 19 Scarab CC but at $45000 are you kidding me. Much smaller boat interior wise than the Yamaha and not near as good looking in my opinion

Just a little jealous. Wishing I was at that show looking at Trawlers. Denver had a boat show last weekend. Not quite the same.
 
The Denver show had a 210 FSH Sport on display at the Tri City Cycle booth. Beautiful.
 
The NY show last week had 4 in it I think 19 and 21 in different colors.E02EB653-870A-4A8B-B061-429E1781012B.jpeg

Good to hear. It's been few years since I've hit our Denver show, usually it had been underwhelming for boats that I wanted to see. In the CC type of boat they usually had about two, both small Whalers. Now if you wanted a ski boat, that was another story.

Is it safe to assume that you bought the show boat?

Just Add Water from Indianapolis is supposed to have a 210 at the boat how in Indianapolis in FEB
 
Hoping they have a couple at the Grand Rapids show. Otherwise I'll need to go to the Detroit show.
 
Random question.

Is this where pretty much all of you buy your new boat? At a boat show?

No, lol.
I find best prices usually are for whatever is left sitting on a dealer lot towards the end of season.

Never have bought at the show. I normally wait until the end of the season and pick up a left over.

I bought in May. Got "boat show pricing", which was essentially free prep and $500 off MSRP.

The Louisville show didn't have an FSH model this year either. I don't think the local dealer gets much support from Yamaha for this show though, so I think it's all on him. The FSH models aren't as popular here in the middle of the country as they are on the cost.....I think.

Scarrab did have an amazing 255 Open ID on display. Such a cool boat!

Thank you!

One thing I've noticed is there isn't much off MSRP, but financing deals.
 
Saw the FSH at the Miami show. "Boat of the Year". I don't believe they are even sold here in CA however?
