No Yamaha Media Event for 2018 Models! :-(

[haknslash]

One thing is for certain, I'm not a fan of the color matched towers. Gray, black or white is my preference.

The dealers will be allowed to see the boats this evening. The Yamaha Boats website is likely to list the 2018 models at the same time.

In the past Yamaha has sent us marketing info before the launch to be released at the same time as the dealers see it. They have not done so this year.

ok i want in.... if the roof slats are one foot and the railing is 3 foot high then a train traveling from Chicago at warp 3 and a sloth digging a hole in china with mars in retrograde then it means its a single engine 47 footer!!!!!!........ i think i got off somewhere.

Now that the new FSH image has been reposted we can talk more about it.

I swear this distance between the poles seems longer than 21' but without knowing the location its hard to tell.

You would need to know the measurement of the Yamaha logo on the side to get the most accurate guess.

Follow me here.

Yamaha logo is 18". I see it being 15 logos long.
15 x18=270%12= 22.5'

I agree with @Murf'n'surf but also like the roof panel method. I think that style of roofing panel comes in 36" and 48" panel widths both with with 5 total ridges including the ends that over lap about 1 inch each. That makes the center to center gap between roof ridges either 8.6" or 11.6". Obviously this boat is grater than 17' long so I am going with the later gap making my guess about 22.23' long.

Then you have to account for the height and angle. damn! 21 feet and 24 feet are too close to know! I really like the idea of using the Yamaha logo size!

I dont have an FSH and I wont be buying one, but this is fun trying to figure it out for sure.

Wow, where are you getting these? do you know a deeper well enough? would the dealer get in trouble for this? can we get the person taking these pictures a better camera! LOL

 

[veedubtek]

The owner of N.O.P.S. was posting pics on the bookface. He says they are all 21'ers

 

[malibu Dan]

Did they also extend the Bimini further back towards the stern with removable center section for clearance??

 

[Ziess21]

I can confirm they are 21' with TR-1 motors
