Fixed it for you.....

 

[Joe Hellaby]

missing the FSH models

 

[sk380]

All Four Star models. Does not include 195 series, 210 series or FSH series.

 

[druppert]

Approx 160 hp? I thought I read somewhere that the NA motors were rated at 180?

I have it from a reliable source that has been directly contacted from Yamaha for other reasons there is a 26ft prototype they are doing testing on not sure when the possible release is I'm fairly certain it will not be the 2018 model year but possibly 19 or 20.

I've also heard rumors they are making a bigger wake boat. A 26' would have to be twin SVHO... With a larger gas tank. Shit. I'm gonna need a divorce lawyer.
I hope it's a CC... (and I have nothing to worry about)

POCKET CRUISER. PLEASE.

 

[FloJet]

YES YES YES. By 2020 we all should be ready to upgrade then?

Any thoughts on how big is too big for a "trailer" boat? My uncle has a 28' Rinker, plus the 2' swim platform makes it 30' in length. He says he wouldn't want to trailer it. He bought it on the lake and keeps it on a lift, doesn't even have a trailer for it.

What about safety regs? Didn't I read somewhere that boats 26+ require different stuff for the coast guard? Speaking of that, how do coast guard regs translate to inland lake boats?

I know 27'+ getis into "Yacht" territory. . . .no idea what that means for USCG regs. As far as too big to tow. . . .that all depends on your tow vehicle and comfort level with towing.

USCG regs change with length -- your safety equipment changes. Really no big deal.

Boat WIDTH changes your ability to tow without permits. I believe under 12' wide trailer is legal.

I probably should have specified his is a 28' bowrider, no sports tower. So, it's not a big cruiser or anything.

 

[JetBoatPilot]

8'6" is road legal. Over that you've got to have a permit.

Yamaha has postponed it annual media event that preceeds the Dealer meeting. 2018 boats will be released without a media event, so Jetboaters.net won't have any special release of info this year.

Width varies from state to state but typically 10' or less down to the 8'6" requires a permit to transport oversized, but is typically just a paperwork thing.Again, I believe this varies from state to state.

 

[BigAbe75]

I guess I was asking more about the practicality. Sort of a how big of a boat is too big to be a good trailer boat, type question. We have a family of 5, and as the kids get older, anticipate each bringing a friend or another family of about the same size. I really think the 24 would be perfect for us. But, man is it easy to get spoiled with all the room my uncle has on the 28'.

I will answer your question with the authority and power granted to me by the internet.

For a "trailer it every time"... 25ft would be my limit. Any longer and you have trouble moving around.

Also, distance towed is a factor... Is this a 5 Mile tow or 30 miles? My comfort is reduced with distance.

Again, stated under my authority only.

28 too big to trailer every time.

Lol well put!
For me i pull trailers often but over 30' of trailer is my personal discomfort point. That means a 27' boat due to tongue length. 30' is where i find it harder to make turns and get around things and you need to start planning better routes to get places. My camper is 25' and boat of 21' is like 24' total trailer i believe. Boat trailers have the axles further back as well which help with weight but make turning a bit harder
