What would you do... 2018 Yamaha 212x or 2021 Yamaha 212xe

Don’t know if you already bought. But I own the 2021 212XD and the $4k increase to get the XD model is well worth it. I would not cheap out at that point and go with the XE. Drive paddles make slow speed maneuvering a piece of cake.
 
Tks, I bought last year and went with the 2018 and no regrets! First season was awesome and saving actually came out to about $20K. I added the lateral thrusters from JP and made a huge difference. Great boats all around!
 
Glad you got what you wanted and it’s working out for you. If you do ever upgrade to a newer one the Drive paddles are awesome on the XD model
