Guest, we are pleased to announce that Hydrophase Ridesteady is offering an extra $100 off for JETBOATERS.NET members on any Ridesteady for Yamaha Speed Control system purchased through March 7th, 2025. Ridesteady is a speed control system (“cruise control”) that uses GPS satellites or engine RPM to keep your boat at the set speed you choose. On twin engine boats, it will also automatically synchronize your engines.
I noticed that the current financing offers from Yamaha expire on 8/23 this month. They normally expire at the end of the month. My money is on getting some news on the 2017 models on or around 8/23..
I think @Julian in in ATL checking them out right now so I'm assuming it wont be long. I'm sure he wont be able to talk about it till the dealers convention though
Ok if Yamaha is only adding a Limited and Limited S to to the 21' lineup then I think they are really missing a the potential demographic for more sales. There is such a huge price gap from the 19' to 21' boats that adding an AR or SX 21' back into the fold would seem like a much better chance to increase sales rather than make two more higher priced models. Also the fact they all say 122 KW sounds like no TR-1 after all.
Agree who wants a more expensive 21 foot boat options unless they are able to rival dedicated wake boats which I doubt a 21 limited and limited S will. My guess is a 21' limited would overlap the price of SX/AR 240 with similar functionality but in a smaller package. In reading these boards that doesn't seem to be the demand.
In how they have the 24' setup, I would guess that the current 212SS is essentially the same as new 212 Limited, and a 212 Limited S would just be an added wake tower to the 212 SS. If that's the case why would you buy an Limited S and not a X?
