@Yamahaul, awesome! Looks super clean. Went Boating at Matanzas inlet today and spotted a 2021ar195. Can't wait till I get mine, my buddy has a new 27ft Scarab.
Got my deposit/order on a 2021 212S earlier this week. It is not a pre-release as I wanted to wait to see what changes came out on the 12th before finalizing the deal. I ended up staying with the S model over the SE and SD. I felt like the additional fly-by-wire & electronics could be a nightmare some day and the additional $3K/$6K solidified that. Dealer said it would be November or possibly December. It'll be my first Yamaha boat and I'm pretty excited.
I get to bring this home on Wednesday. Got lucky and they sent the dealer a additional pre-release boat. He told me yesterday that the 25s would ship until the 1st of the year or later.
I put deposit on AR210, and still waiting. No word from the dealer, other than they hoped it would be by end of August. I'm in Central KY. However the did have a couple 19'. AR195, but I'm wanting a little bigger

awesome, congrats! how was dealing with ridenow? I know their marine manager is active on here and has been pretty helpful answering questions. i live in Jax and it'd save me a trip from driving to BMC or cycle springs.
Ride now was great. Everyone was a pleasure to deal with and I’ll be back when it’s time to upgrade. My boat is still there if you want to go look at it. I’m picking it up tomorrow morning.

You will enjoy the extra room on the AR210. We were out yesterday, me the Admiral, and 7 teenage girls tubing all day. Plenty of room, a great time. Put the 2 extra bow cushions in for the first time, they loved it, making a bed up there. Can say I don't really prefer their music selection though

Nice looking boat! I ordered the black hull although I really like the Gray better but just couldn't get excited about the warm interior. It's starting to grow on me slightly.
I work till 11p tomorrow, but I appreciate it!!! I did see it on their IG! It looks awesome, congrats! I'm glad you had a good experience buying from them. I live like 12 minutes from there.
What is wrong with the back of that tower coming to a point. I still just don't get it. Sooner or later that is going to be someone's misfortune. Honestly that has got to be the dumbest thing I have seen on a boat.
I can see one of the kids getting their hand caught under that and tow ropes getting stuck. Not too bright of a design.
I'm still trying to think of ways to use that point to my advantage...so far, nothing has come to mind. Maybe mount a bottle opener to the underside of the point or something, IDK.
Still waiting here in Florida, we were fourth in line for a ar195. Talked to our dealer last week and they said we are now second on the list. Come on Yamaha ship them boats already.. or at least two ar195. Lol
