I found a Yamaha!!!

[KrodWhodat]

As some of you know from an earlier thread I’m new here and have been searching high and low for a Yamaha ! My daily ritual has been to alternate regular boat places one day and Yamaha dealers the next, all up to 500 miles away. I called one this morning in my backyard and the guy said he had nothing. Then said hold on. They just got a trade in this morning. A 2019 242 limited SE came in because the guy wanted to trade up to a 27’. I signed contract and picking up tomorrow!!!! I am now a jet boat owner! It has 21 hours and 4 years of warranty left! Man persistence paid off!!!

These docks are interesting. Almost like build your own dock. Has anybody seen these? Are they stable. Do they really have the strength to hold boats (as shown)? Neat idea...

Looks like floating docks that ride up and down the white pier pole. I believe the circled things are pivot points in the dock to give it a bit of flex. Should be no problem as long as the white poles are secured into the ground.

HDPE docks, nice boat but the lack of spring lines and the fact the stern is touching the dock have raised an eyebrow. They better not tie the new 27'er like this. I would think a dealer should know how to tie a boat up.

Congrats... you will LOVE your 242!

@KrodWhodat .....CONGRATULATIONS. A super nice boat and the warranty is a massive bonus. I purchased the 5 year Yamaha factory warranty with my boat. Got an "incentive" deal on it so that was even better. Of course, it really helps that Yamaha makes the hull and engines so there is no two-way fight if a warranty claim is made with the hull manufacturer and the engine builder both blaming each other!

@KrodWhodat Congrats on the new boat. Love the color combination on that boat, really makes it look nice.

OK, new game.......How many jetboats are in this 1st picture? I can count at least 12. Anyone have better eyes than me?

 

[212s]

Is that one behind the boat lift? Looks like the rear seats...
The second pic looks to have 5 or 6 more...

Wow, a 2019 with only 19 hours on it. We put 68 on ours this summer and we started late as we picked it up first week of June - normally we're out on the water by May 1st.

Nice color! It is identical to our 212x.

Sadly our 2019 has 18 hours on it so they are out there but ours is not for sale.
