Just got the call from my dealer!! Boat arrived unexpected this morning. Working on logistics of prep and check ride. Pictures to follow. Wow, been waiting on this since July.
Yeah I was camping on last Saturday and not expecting a call because they said when they got confirmation they’d let me know and they called and said it came in! Congrats. I can’t use mine until spring due to weather now but I’ve been sitting in it in my garage lol
I am at a dealer in FL, we have a good amount of folks with deposits waiting on boats. It has been frustrating on all ends. Yamaha started putting more est ship dates for us and then the dates kept getting pushed back. Supposedly by the end of this month they are supposed to be back on schedule and all parts in. It seems like the 19s have been put on hold and they started shipping more 21-25 footers (no X or FSH yet) We have 4 boats that just showed shipped if you or someone you know is looking or has been waiting and they of course are ones we dont have deposits on.
212SE, 252SE, SX210, and 195 FSH Deluxe. As I get more updates or hear anything I will pass it on to you guys!

Picking it up Wednesday, well the check ride is scheduled for then. I assume it will be in great shape and be behind the truck later that day. I did sneak down to the dealership to see it but it wasn’t fully assembled. Goes in the shop today and their pre-check ride shakedown run happens either today or Tuesday. My first impression after standing in the boat is “roomier than expected”. This is the first time I have ever seen a 195S in person. Second thought is the trailer is beefier and better built than I expected.

Your Welcome! We havnt seen any 19ft bowriders since they first started shipping the new releases. We have seen more 21-25ftrs now. So that probably means parts arent all in like they said they would be.
dang. any person in particular that you spoke to? they seem to have that small "mom and pop" type dealership i thought esp according to their reviews. hope you get a better experience elsewhere.

Oh I did, got better service and better deals with other dealers. Already put my deposit down and just waiting for delivery now Only one that lost here was them.
Got a call and they said Yamaha isn't going to build any more regular 212. All the ones they made are spoken for already. I'm going to see if they are doing anymore SX210?
The wait is over. July 21 to October 28. I took delivery yesterday. Not many pictures yet and monsoon weather here today. Dealer had put an hour on the engines and we put another hour on during the check ride. More pictures to follow.
Nice boat! Hey at least you used it. It’s been 50 here ne Ohio every day since I got it and if it is nice I’m at work or Lake Erie has 3-5 footers in it. Mine will have to wait till next year to run for the first time. Congrats!
Just got a call from our dealer in WI yesterday. Our boat (sx195) will be leaving Tennessee Monday(26th) and we should see it a few days later. Boat season is over already, so we will see it and then it will get stored at dealer for the winter.
