Saying Hi from MD

[msavold]

, from another relative newbie from up the road form you, in Columbia MD - though our boating will be in OC-Bethany area. My sympathies for your waiting - we have a deal on a boat that's snow bound in New Hampshire and the wait is killing me!

Welcome aboard and congrats!

Welcome aboard, you'll love the boat. I have weekend home in Harpers Ferry, wv. On the potomac. We throw down the wakeboard, knee board n tube all summer long. Would like to plan a lower potomac boat run n touch base with local jetters

@ravi4l .... a BIG WELCOMEto you !
So glad you found us. Hope you stay & enjoy yourself for years.

Answering your question, based on personal experience, it's gonna be more like 8 weeks ! Sorry.
The factory is Tennessee is "flat out" right now.
But the wait will be totally exhilarating when your 242 does arrive !
Wishing you a Safe, Enjoyable, and Blessed new boating year ahead !

@ravi4l: You can get/read manuals from Yamaha here:
http://www.yamaha-motor.com/boat/myyamaha/prompt/L2JvYXQvc2VydmljZS92aWV3bWFudWFscy9ib2F0X21hbnVhbHMuYXNweA==/Owners Manual/starthere.aspx
You must register FIRST.
However, the 2015 manuals are not on-line as of today.
Why not just ASK your dealer if he'ld loan you one ?
Good Luck, Mikey Lulejian - Lake Oconee, GA

@ravi4l ........ You're gonna go CRAZY with your new boat. It is KEWLER beyond description.
Please come back and tell us YOUR impressions after you've taken her out on the water !
EVERY time we take ours (2015 24-footer) out, we discover YET ANOTHER thingie Yamaha did to make us fall in love with the boat more.
Best Wishes, and if we answer any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Hey @ravi4l , Welcome to the Compulsive Spending Recovery Group, better known as Jetboaters.net

Please make sure you enter all your personal information and be sure to include the security code for your Credit card, we'll order all the accessories that you'll be needing, so sit back and watch the brown boxes show up at your door. Do you have a preference, UPS or FedEx?

If you like, we can have someone drop by and help with installing the items you'll be receiving, just have plenty of cold beverages on hand. For an additional $19.99 we can provide you with a framed portrait of you in your new Yamaha - action shots are an additional $49.99, but that includes a wall poster and a Hooters girl to accompany you in the boat for the shoot. You have to pay extra for the chicken wings though...
