I just hope the light we are seeing is not the headlight of an oncomming train.

I just got a call from my dealer. He didn't want me to get too excited but he is in a network with 102 Yamaha Dealers. He told me that two of the dealers got a 222 FSH sport E. Looks like they are finally getting to dealers. Now the wait goes into high gear. Anyone else heard rumors of deliveries?

Went to a small boat show yesterday in Essex, Ct.,and my dealer said my 222 fsh was in transit. Just waiting now for the call telling me it actually came in. Things are finally coming together! Hopefully they produced enough to go around.

Just heard from my dealer that they are expecting my 222 FSH in May. But don't know when in May tho. He said those timeline that he gets are usually very accurate.

My 222 fsh sport e is finally at the dealer. Not that late, only three weeks later than the date I was told at a January boat show. Signing paperwork tomorrow, hopefully pick up next week after registration and set up. Bring on summer!

Mine arrived earlier than expected and is at the dealership now. They are still checking everything to make sure it is 100% ready as I have to drive 2 hours to get it. I am waiting to hear if I can pick it up Saturday or Monday. Anyone get to see theirs today?

Not to be the downer but Im sure Yamaha will still be canceling orders in July again this year for orders they cant fulfill in this model year.

Negative hinking never results in a positive outcome. Just because they have done that other years does not men it is in the works for this year. Nothing official or nearly official rumors at this point. They just started sending out 222 FSH models last week.

Can you show us the helm? Wondering how big is the display and the simrad.

So jealous!!!!!

Also how about a good shot of the inside of the ski locker...

It's a Go9 xse. Transducer is through the hull so no side scan.
Here is the battery compartment as well under the jump seat. Two battery switches and a emergency parallel in case one is dead.

Its dark but here is the floor locker. It came with a 5 gallon bucket. We have a 6x8 inflatable mat and it will fit in there rolled up.

It looks like the stock jack stand is bending a bit. Would recommend getting the ARKXO750 in aluminim color and replacing it. The stock jack stands are not great.

Overall I am happy with the build quality from my first few hours playing with the boat. The jack did surprise me as my AR190 has a heavier duty jack than this one does. I imagine it won't last very long.
Only issue I have found so far:
-chip in gel coat in anchor locker...going to get more anyway
-texture on back on one jump seat has a smudged area, dealer already mentioned ordering a new one. It does not impact function
-table is difficult to latch down as a fishing platform. One side the latch is misaligned. I can make it work but I will have them fix it eventually.
-stock bow roller has already formed to the shape of the bow and does not roll. Was planning to replace anyway
-one drain was clogged. It flushed out with a little hose pressure...lots of manufacturing debris
-cover to the hertz radio flew off on the 2 hour drive home from the dealer
-there are no tackle boxes in the storage. They are nice and big and both sides have a trash can.
Things I like:
-The gunwale height is amazing!
-inside the boat feels sturdy and high end compared to my AR190
-the jump seats are comfortable. Kind of feels like you are in a cockpit. I like it better than the 252 bench that isn't comfortable
-seat in front of console is larger than expected. My two boys can fit there together comfortably
-I like the space around the helm seat when the jump seats are down

I am taking it out in the gulf tomorrow for the break in and hopefully a few runs after an hour and a half of trolling along.
