2016 Lineup of boats - The real info will be posted at 7 PM EST on Saturday August 22nd

I'd love to see some radical new boats. Maybe the 19's are gone and 20's replace them, forward swept towers become the new Yamaha signature. The top shelf 242's get a supercharge option, a wake option, a covered bow option, An FSH boat in a 24" twin engine model. But alas, I think @robert843 is on the money, we've all over shot the actual changes.

Is love to see a 240 with more mph , rock solid tower , captain's call exhaust , trim tabs , auto ballast for surfing , led lighting , transom lights , captains seats with drop down bolsters , perfect pass , in floor cooler like the older 210's 12" subs , and hot boat candy to show it off at the sand bar , and free gas for the first year yea that I would buy !!!! P.s. And a bikini storeage area that the girls can leave there tops in so they don't get lost !!!!

Looks like they are adding stock tower speakers.

Maybe some over shot....all I want is a 212x with forward swept tower, sound deadening and a surf system and I'm sold

FYI, they usually dress boats up with "optional" equipment for these things.

I second the supercharged 242s. Help us guys who like to boat closer to the clouds.

And it would prop up lots of oil company stock.

That ones easy. Bikini tops go in the glove box - out of the way, yet easy to reach!

I will be really surprised/disappointed if we don't see at least the sound reduction techniques applied to the smaller boats - at least the 21 footers. I hope we see electronic throttle control and a Perfect-Pass esque cruise control in at least some models. A surf system would definitely be a welcome addition as well.

I will be VERY disappointed if they do not have a surf model. I wonder if it be a stand alone model or an option? Also they need to have a 24' and 21' surf option. Is it too late for me to call Yamaha and give them my opinion?

See I always thought those were to be removed before entering the boat? No need for useless clutter in the glove box.

Seen the new boats! And their awesome to say the least!

 

[OrangeTJ]

How did you see them?

I walked up to them and saw them. I'm a dealer so I'm here at the show.

They also looked SUPERB on Lake Oconee, GA 4 weeks ago.

Gonna be an exciting year for Yamaha, and I forecast they run out quickly from 1 model.

@Ziess21, @Williamsone46, @MikeyL, I appreciate you guys holding back until Yamaha's embargo is over. I also hope that you will be posting your impressions and pictures at 7 PM tomorrow along with Julian's videos and review.

Over the last six months we have had unprecedented levels of cooperation with Yamaha. I am hopeful that as we continue to build their trust that we will be able to find more ways to work together that are beneficial to our members.

 

[Morrowcat]

That's it @MikeyL ....next year I'm coming down to hang out with you to get the early preview.

 

[Julian]

Next year if they go on Oconee they are going to be driving "Burka boats" so Mikey can't see them! LOL
