Just wondering if anyone has heard about them releasing a larger version maybe with twin 1.8’s?
 
There has been lots of talk about a 24' CC, but nothing concrete yet.

I would be very surprised if they build a 27' CC any time soon. At 100k + for the current 27' open bow, not sure they are prepared to compete in that market. I'm still trying to figure out WHAT market they are trying to compete in with the current 27' open bow (not the trailer boat market-requires a permit to tow, not the water sports market -no tower tow point)
 
I’ve been on a 255 Open and I thought the boat was too narrow. The 215 fsh seemed just right width wise I am just interested in something a little bigger with a better power band for some tubing and skiing while still having the fishing flexibility the fsh gives you.
 
I mentioned in another post, I’d be interested in a 24’ down the road in the $50-$60k range, but honestly guys even $1 above $60k and I’d be looking Robalo or another more serious maker. Not that I don’t love my 210, and I think it’s a great boat for inland or near shore, for that little extra you definitely bump up a notch. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a serious fisherman but for me a CC boat is like a pickup truck for the water, it can do just about anything. But if I had a choice for a small difference in $ I’m moving up from the XLT to the King Ranch.
 
The fact is the FSH is a great value. Take the value off the table and I'm looking elsewhere. Still like my FSH ...
 
@Julian Idk what market they are trying to hit with the 270 but I've heard almost all their production slots are full for this season.

A 240fsh interests me.

True on the Robalo but I think them and nautiqstar are at least 15 to 20k above what Yamaha would be in their price range for a similar size product with adequate features.
 
How have people’s experiences been tubing and skiing with the 210?

I've not tried it, but I'm pretty certain that the lower hull is identical to the AR210....so I'd expect close to identical experiences....just a different layout.
 
Just took the family out last weekend on my '19 210 FSH Sport and pulled the kids on the tube. Plenty of power and control, but the kids complained of not being able to see from the water spray. I currently have Thrust Vector X's on her Thrust Vector X For Yamaha Boats 2019 & Prior* , but may have to upgrade to the Thrust Vector W's when they become available later this month Thrust Vector Wake For Yamaha Boats (Fits 2003-2019) . I inquired with JBP if they will have a option to just buy the wake shaper portion to add onto the the Thrust Vector X's, and at this time it is a no..... Not too happy to have to buy a complete new set up....
 
I tube with the kid behind the 210 FSH it is great I use a long rope no problem plenty if power.

I believe they have an upgrade option depending on models etc
 
I feel like it just needs a bit more sexiness to the linup. But a 240 fsh just seems obvious to offer.

There is a credit for those with existing systems to trade. There's no parts capable of exchange to convert other types. The new ones have redesigned fins made of aluminum that have specific stop angles etc... or you can add an additional 5-10ft of rope to get them beyond the spray.

Yes.. extend the rope some to get out of the wash..

They do have an upgrade/trade in option. They will give current owners a $100 credit, but I just bought the X's and the Wake will be out in about 2 weeks. SMH :(
