Yamaha Announces New 19-foot and 21-foot Boats for 2017 Model Year
Includes new high-performance 195 series, and a ground-up redesign of Yamaha’s 21-foot runabout jet platform
CHICAGO, IL – AUGUST 24, 2016 – Yamaha WaterCraft Group, a division of Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A., today introduced its 2017 boat line that includes a new high-performance 19-foot 195 series along with four new 21-foot boats that includes the 212 Limited line and a new 212X with advanced wakesurf capabilities.
The products were unveiled at the company’s annual dealer meeting being held in Chicago, IL, where Yamaha also set out its strategy to be the #1 global marine brand.
“We started from scratch with our new 21-foot boats beginning with feedback from customers in the market. We learned what features and benefits these customers valued most, valued least, and more importantly, features and benefits that they would like to see in the future,” said Yamaha Watercraft’s Product Planning Manager Mike Ricciardi. “Everything we learned is reflected in the design of these new boats that include high-end appointments, more space for lounging, a great wake for surfing, and new high-tech features like our new Connext helm control system.”
