PIcking up my new 252SD tomorrow (assuming the sea trial goes OK). I want to inquire about adding YES. Is the pricing pretty standard or is there variability between dealers or direct from YAMAHA ?
I was quoted $2,750 with a $50 deductible to extend to 5 years. They said I can add it any time before the factory warranty runs out. So I am waiting until next year to decide.
Pricing is pretty standard... here's the sheet I received when I purchased my boat last month. The months in the top row are after the initial 1 year warranty, e.g. the 48 month column gives you 4 years plus the initial 1 year for 5 years total.
FYI you can add the extended YES warranty at anytime during the first year while you're still covered under the initial 1 year warranty. You don't have to purchase it at the time of boat purchase.
Seems high @ $687.50 per year...Would hate to think you would have that much trouble with a boat billed as so reliable but Im sure it doesnt take much to add up in parts and labor. Id bet you can get it for closer to the $2000 mark if you push hard enough
With the amount of electronics that Yamaha is putting in their boats, especially the screens, I would definitely buy it. When I bought my new boat I specifically looked for a boat without the expensive screens.
Hmmm 3500 bucks. My dealer didnt even try to sell me the yes. That would cover quite a bit of repairs. Not sure it would be worth it for me. Only thing i would ever take it to the dealer for would be the connext or the hyd controllers for the steering and shift. Everything else, even motor work i can handle.
