Surprisingly unless you are buying used, Yamaha will not provide much more than $500 of wiggle room but what I would do is push for the five year extended warranty if they are not offering it.

You should be able to get a starter kit also. Life jackets, anchor fenders etc.

Agreed A Coast Guard life jacket kit
fire extinguisher
and suction cup mirror I believe is the starter kit

Yes, only extra is a starter kit, dl4 fenders, dock line anchor kit, etc... Will check the warranty. Price sound good? This includes all fees out thebdoor.

I got free 10hr service, plus $500 shop credit (that I used for my first winterization).

Also, not sure where you’re at, but I believe that was what a buddy of mine paid for his ‘19 242x new a year ago (after ‘19 boat show), in St Louis. He got an awesome deal, though including dealer paid sales tax. So, you could be a little on the high side - but I don’t know how much prices came up between 19 and 20 models.

Yamaha is currently showing the price at 73k, not including shipping or set up fees, taxes, title, etc..

Sales tax on the boat is about 6k, which is included in the 73k total in the deal I am considering.

That sound pretty good to me. I agree on trying to get the 10 hr service at a minimum.

At least you got the fenders and anchor I didn’t get that from Gayles Marine Bakersfield Ca

Great input, I will go back with that as a counter.

Has anyone ever purchased without the Yamaha provides trailer?

I am wondering how much I can get if I eclude the trailer. We never plan to take it anywhere, since we live on a large lake. Any thoughts? Pros vs Cons of this idea? What might the trailer be worth?

The price is not bad but the main concern if you are financing is your interest rate when spread out over 10 or 15 years it can really add up, so that might be one of your biggest savings Area’s

Any thoughts on my trailer question above?

How do you plan to get it back to dealer for services?

 

[BigAbe75]

I believe it’s all a package. You may have to buy it, then just sell the trailer. I don’t think they are offered without the trailer. Not positive though.

Talked to dealer, they said for warranty they have a mobile guy. Otherwise it is having any services dockside, or paying to have it picked up and hauled in.

They would drop $2k off price of boat without the trailer. Which would also save me a monthly cost of a place to store it. Other than possible service, I never plan to take the boat anywhere.

Good idea about the beer. However, due to present concerns I will request some deep ellum pale ale.

lucky guy! Oh how I wish I lived on the lake. One day. So it sounds like you’ve done your home work and talked to the dealership to save some bucks.
