2019 Yamahas

[Jim46]

When I spoke to my dealer yesterday they mentioned something about the 2019s having some sort of protective coating on any exposed metal to help with saltwater corrosion. They also indicated they would have some available at our local in water boat show next month. Wondering if this “coating” is legit or a upsell tactic.

Thoughts?

Just found this for the 2019's! Looks like a decent addtion.

Looks like this new design will move the reverse pivot point towards the back of the boat while at the same time sending power straight up to the front of the boat. Hopefully this new nozzle design will fit onto my 2018 195.

There's a long thread on the 19's a few threads down. A bit of info posted on the new models towards the end of the thread right now. The buckets and nozzle are also backwards compatible but no price on that yet. Would still be way more expensive than Jetboatpilot LT's. Wear ring is different as well. Everything else seems about the same as previous years. Haven't seen any 2019 19' boat literature yet so not sure if something big is changing or not ...

This will be my first mod as soon as it becomes available. This is totally a game changer.

This post was confusing to me, the twin pumps were shown without lateral thruster reverse nozzles (rather the traditional Yamaha reverse opening setup).
I'm assuming it's just an editing error with those promotional pamphlets and if those are available with twins - will be my first mod. Those should work GREAT!

I was talking to a Yamaha dealer today, I was looking at a 2018 212x holdover, the sales rep mentioned that the 2019 212x has a new hull design for a better wakesurfing wave and more ballast, 1500 or 1550 lbs. Anyone else hear any of this info? I looked online a little bit tonight, but didn't see anything about either of these.

He's just trying to sell you a 2019...or yet another uninformed salesman talking about their product. The hulls are the same and they did not increase ballast for 2019. It's the same 1,100 lbs in the 3 tanks. He may be thinking of the new Wake Booster package for 2019 which comes with a water diverter that attaches to the swimdeck tiedown eye on either side and helps "shoot" or divert water from the side of the hull over towards the rear jet pumps to help knock down some of the jet wash, thus making for a cleaner looking wave. Long thread on the wake booster here. My hunch is he's just trying to up-sale you to a 2019 with mythical new features, especially if they're offering the leftover at a discount.

Well, I am in for one this year - 2019 242x with surf package - we would probably actually already have one except I am looking at hip surgery in January. Argh! the frustration! Either way, we are in Spokane WA and ton of awesome lakes nearby. Only problem is our boating season tends to be relatively short.
