Any word if a new 24’ center console exists by chance?
I heard the rumor it’s in the works but won’t be released tonight. If the rumors I heard are true it is getting a whole new hull made for it 85 gallons of fuel and twin supercharged 1.8’s the new hull will be more of an offshore style set up. This is something someone else told me so not sure of the accuracy but they said it would be released next year.

If this is true, maybe the regular 24’ will get a refresh as well.

No new 24 FSH unfortunately. New colors on the 212X though.
Hard to tell but it looks like the 212x MIGHT have the big connext screen from the 242x now.

I don't believe it's livestreamed. At 20:00 Eastern a press release will go out and the yamahaboats website will be updated. The same info will be posted here at the same time.

Hopefully they do move forward with a larger center console, as that is a growing market for the industry, and a growth potential for them to add another center console to their lineup

Meh..... 242x graphics look good. Other than that not much new it looks like. I would buy a leftover ‘19 if I were buying a new Yamaha.

I personally am glad I decided to keep my boat one more year I figure with this years price increase I won’t loose any more value on my boat unless they came out with a redesigned 240.

Another blah year. Nothing for the 240 series except names, colors, and stickers.

Going to hit the Orlando boat show this weekend, but we will be spending most our time crawling over 25'-27' outboard bowriders. And some bayboats (but family wants a bigger bowrider)

I take it you have not been paying attention to the MSRPs
They seem to have held steady this year. Guess passing the savings of taking the word Limited off some of the boats.
