The rumor mill that was passed on to me recently, this week, is that there could be an all new 21'. Whether that is the whole line or just an addition of one I am unsure. 30th is when information should be released. 2023 models won't be going till after that, so looks like September before they start showing up.
I'm really interested in seeing a new 21'. For me, ideally it would have a new stern seating configuration. I'm looking primarily for a boat for 2 - 4 people and as a couples boat I don't need U-shape seating, and would prefer more cockpit floor area like the newer 19' has to side mount a table. Would also love to see a port side captain's chair or maybe a flip flop seat in place of the bench.

I bet you get what you are asking for. As they would more than likely introduce the 212x/s with those features first. And the 212S/212X models have twin captains chairs now. It used to be the AR's had a bench, for more viewing of water sports and twin captains in the SX models with no tower.
They have since switched it to the x/s models with twin captains chairs. I think they have gone back and forth on that option over the years. A revised stern is very probable. And SVHO on X/S as well as a potential SS is highly likely.
That is an interesting concept… a 30’ Yamaha boat.
I keep wondering if and when Yamaha will start producing non jet drive boats.. they certainly have the power plants for outboard configurations… with Yamaha making boats with such bang for the buck, it wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility for them to make a line of Dual Console & Center Console pleasure / fishing boats using their line of outboards which are arguably the most technologically advanced and reliable on the market.
During a recent interview, a Yamaha corporate person was talking about how Yamaha is focusing on bringing the full digital controlled outboards to the mid range of outboards, 75-115 hp range. The digital engines then have the capability to have Yamaha’s helm master system added to them which brings an tremendous increase in maneuverability when applied to multi engine power plants, not to mention a direct tie in with auto pilot systems.

I think this has been shared before. Yamaha does, they are distributed in Asia. They have yet to see the feasibility of US distribution in those markets, which are highly competitive.
For many years they have built Yamaha branded with Yamaha outboards from 21' on up over 30'

I did not know that! That boat looks ……. Big. Lots of freeboard there, love the stem mounted anchor. Interesting stern area with the radius‘d looking area if I’m seeing that correctly..
Thanks for the link… that’s quite a line up of boats .. I will need to brush up on my kanji though.

wait till you see the models with the outboard fully enclosed. It's pretty amazing. You have to just start clicking, or let chrome translate the page for you.
They may consider this someday if demand grew. But BRP has made some great strides this past week releasing their new line of Rotax outboards that sit down in the water. They will surely make a "splash"
I hope the 21ft boats stay the same. Bad decision me will want a 22ft and then my wife will have to wreck my dreams with common sense crap about boys going to college, kitchen upgrade, A/C unit is getting old, etc...you know all that adult bullshit.

I was on the Japan site for a bit just tapping different links, did not find that cc you just put up though. I will have to look around some more. I do like that cc.. interesting concept.
Ironic that you mention that.. so brp stopped making the E2 two stroke due to “emissions” issues with the Canadian govt, but then two years later they are producing a two stroke outboard again.. hmmmm

Their whole website is really different. They have trailering tips and guides, boating guides, maintenance guides and links to get licensed. They offer boat rentals throughout Japan, like Freedom boat club. They call it Yamaha Marine Club - SeaStyle. Cheapest rate is $33 for 3 hours. That SR330 starts at $780.

Guess I'm trying to understand the practicality of small twin outboard engines? I seldom see twin outboards of less than 150 hp on a boat, and now days, most folks would seem to opt for a single 300 hp engine over twin 150's.
