When will Wakeboosters be back in stock?

[francis3]

Does anyone have any info about when Yamaha Wakeboosters might be back in stock? I haven't been able to find any info from my Yamaha dealer or elsewhere.

We bought our first jet boat in the fall and are excited to try surfing with it. I'm all set with everything (boards, ballast, hydrophase, etc.), except for a Wakebooster which I've had on backorder for a few months. I'm eager to get this final piece of the puzzle so that we we'll be ready when the weather finally warms up.

Does anyone know if the Wakebooster comes standard with the 212XD? We are supposed to receive our boat in a few weeks and didn't want to order one if it was included. If you buy a Yamaha Wake Series boat you would think it would be included right?

Not necessarily, I'd call your dealership to confirm

I'm going to go with 99% of no. The only included "booster" on the new boats are the ones that are built in and deploy.

Will do, thanks!

I already forgot about those new ones that automatically deploy!

 

[PC12]

My understanding is that the automatic deploying ones are only on the 255XE and 255XD.

I believe you are correct.

Does anyone have a recommendation on where to get the Wakebooster? Looks like Yamaha is still OOS

There are some available, but all the ones I've seen are marked up about 50% over MSRP. You can find them on eBay. PWC Parts also has them, which seems safer than eBay and includes a return policy, etc. Yamaha 21' Wake Booster AR210 SX210 212 WakeEnhancer Package F3R-K7910-V0-00

I'd love to know if they will be in stock again from Yamaha at MSRP. I would pay the 50% mark up if that will be the only way to get them this year. But obviously a bummer to pay the extra money if they will be back in stock in time for boating season.

$1,299 is MSRP now up from the old $999 correct for the full kit with board and wakebooster?

 

[francis3]

I'm not sure where to find the MSRP for this year. Adept Powersports shows it as $1570 for the 242x version with the board. F3F-U5909-V1-00 Yamaha Wake Surf Package 242X W Board $1,427.51 - AdeptPowersports

But the Wake Boosters have been backordered on that site since the fall, so not sure if that's accurate for 2021.

The Yamaha MSRP is $1299 for the 24' complete package (F3F-U5909-V1-00). Was able to pick up one from my local dealer today, it was the only one they had. Seems like Yamaha has been shipping a few out to dealers over the last month.

 

[NewBoater]

I was able to get a full 24’ package (booster surfboard, float, tube rope, bag etc.) a month or 2 ago for $1,299 from a dealer. Seems some are getting them back in stock.

 

[francis3]

I also was able to get one from my dealer last week. $800 for a the 21' version -- WakeBooster only, no board. (I bought my board separately from @J-RAD.)
