Another thing most folks dont realize is climate. Your dealer might say they are the #1 dealer but being in Minn there is a chance that the dealer is further down on the list due to climate. I'm pretty sure Fl, Ca and other warmer states will get first dibs and larger allotment than colder areas, at least at the beginning. Makes no sense to ship your first boats to Minn where they will be likely stored for the winter and not ship it to Fl. Not saying its fair but when you combine that method with the shortages of everything, the lone boats that made it out went to warmer climates first and now colder climates were left waiting for those parts that couldn't be sourced.My order is supposedly with the #1 Yamaha dealer in the country or so they tell me, River Valley Power and Sport in Minnesota. There are no other close dealers that I am willing to make the drive for. I ordered in August 2020 so I would think I would be in line for a boat before someone that ordered in 2021 regardless of dealer size. Getting very frustrated with the ZERO communication from Yamaha.
Not that it alleviates your issue, but that is how alot of this works. As I stated in another thread, my dealer warned me this would happen and suggested I place my order in early, which I did. If i hadnt, i would be on a waiting list right now also.
