Just purchased a 2020 212s

[EricE]

Hello from CNY!
I've been lurking for a while on this site, and have been thankful for all the valuable information I've found so far. It helped make our purchase decision easier.
We just purchased a 2020 212s in white at our local boat show. This will be a big upgrade from our Yamaha jetski to say the least and I can wait to get it out on the water once it warms up.
I always see allot of interest in pricing so I figured I would provide our experience.
We received 4.99% financing and paid $55,000 (excluding tax) which included the following;
Boat cover (bow and cockpit)
Coast Guard kit
Bumpers
3 year Yamaha warranty
Free 1st service

There was not much wiggle room on the price, but we thought it was a fair deal. Our local Yamaha dealer is family owned and very helpful so were pretty happy with our experience so far.

We hopefully will take delivery mid April, since it is coming form the factory.

Is there anything I should plan on getting. We've had a jetski for 10 years so I know about the minor things, but a boat of this size will be new to us.
We boat on the river and lakes around Central New York and plan on some watersports.

Also, we are also planning on replacing our dock with a shorestation dock (Classic Sectional Docks | ShoreStation®). Anyone familiar with them ? They seem pretty sturdy and well built, but I haven't been on on thats been installed in the water.

Hey, welcome the forum ! Thank for signing up and let us know if you need anything (regarding the boat). Hopefully you have some $$ left to "make it your own". Glad you bought your 2nd boat first. Most don't, I didn't. Good luck and enjoy...

Oh, please post pics, we all love them!

I am curious what your buying experience was. The dealer was very straight forward and nice, but did not budge much on price. We were able to negotiate a few thousand off, waived dealer fees, 1st service for free, and half price on a cover but not much else.

Congrats! I also just bought the same boat and color and will likely get it in April or May. I think you got a great deal - me not so much. Got the 3 year warranty, low interest financing but paid a few thousand more than you even after dealer matched another dealers price.

Congrats back! We were pretty happy with the deal we ended up with. We are looking for an April delivery as well.
I notice your from upstate, I was born and raised there.

I should change my location to Western NY - Rochester. I think great deal for you! I was looking at a new '19 in that price range. Looking forward to be back into boating again. Sold our 2010 Yamaha 212SS in 2014...

We were just at the Rochester boat show. We also went to the CNY boat show and bought it there since we live in Syracuse.
