Availability of yamaha 150/200

[nickevans10]

I'm got my boat on order with a yamaha 150. I haven't heard from my dealer, but mine wasn't planned until May.

Has anyone heard if Yamahas are available or are people needing to switch to Mercury's?

Both are severely backordered - Bennington apparently is one of Yamaha's largest OB customers in the U.S. so that's probably your best shot from a lead time perspective. But your dealer may have in's on the Merc side that could bear fruit.

I don't think anyone honestly can put a date on anything right now. Best bet is to let your dealer know you'll take either, whatever comes first. And if your transom and budget can handle it open up the search to include a 175 or 200hp as well just to give even more options for the dealer to get your boat splashed.

You better ask your dealer about controls they are not interchangeable between manufacturers.

I spoke with my dealer this week. He said there will be no delay with getting a yamaha 150. He said there would be delays if I was getting a 175 or 200 yamaha.

I'm sticking with the 150 as planned. Good luck to everyone on their order tineline.
