No Yamaha Media Event for 2018 Models! :-(

What is the one in the upper left hand corner? The cover is different!!!!

Looks like an E-Series 24' boat with the tower collapsed for shipping.

I know my shipping cover and yours also had the tower exposed for shipping............................???????????????????????????????



EDIT: I see it uncovered in the other pic.

Yamaha keeps the new boats under cover until they are revealed to the dealers. These pictures were posted on Facebook by a dealer who has an overview of what appears to be quite a concealed location.

The dealer posted that the covers are going back onto the boats.

Now that the new FSH image has been reposted we can talk more about it.

I swear this distance between the poles seems longer than 21' but without knowing the location its hard to tell.

The boat in the foreground is 35.6 fenders long. If the fenders are 8" wide that would be right at 24'.

The rightmost boat in the background is 10 tires long.

I agree on your scientific eagle eye skills

I have not changed the scale from these two aerial photos at the plant.

Thoughts?

So by that measurement it looks to be 21 ft

It most likely is 21'. I'm just wishing for more lol as I think it would appeal to a wider fisherman group. It be interesting if Yamaha does indeed think of moving to 25' to compete with Scarab length for the next major hull change.

I would guess that means no real changes or possibly a mid model year release of something new that is just not ready yet. I'm guessing no major changes is the more Likley case as the have just redone the 190's and the 210's based on timing we are likely one or two more years from and major changes to the 240 serries. Only changes I know of last year to the 240 were the plugs, switching that crappy drivers seat they put in the 15 and 16's, new steering wheel and a little nicer interior material.

The classic 2017 ½ models.... LOL

wow....some serious analysis going on here....how about this to pile on....

That roof looks like it has 27 slats on it, and I'll bet each is 1', so the roof is 27' long. Now the boat looks to be 21-22' ....

OK, if the railing next to the boat is 3 feet high (which is about standard) then the FSH in the picture is 24 feet long.....

My brain right now trying to follow this...

If the there is a boat between the dock and the boat we are looking at then the analysis will be off.

ya but if you are right then its fun....
