    Yes....i have a 2018 Phoenix 721 on order with a SHO and my dealer called Friday and said Yamaha called them and said no SHO motors effective immediately because of a production issue. Also they would probably be none for the rest of the 2018 model year and they probably don't have enough for Skeeter.

    Its been that way for a while now. I dont know if Yamaha cant keep up with the demand or someone dropped the ball and didnt get enough into the US.

    "The man of system is apt to be very wise in his own conceit; and is often so enamored with the supposed beauty of his own ideal plan of government that he cannot suffer the smallest deviation from any part of it…He seems to imagine that he can arrange the different members of a great society with as much ease as the hand arranges the different pieces upon a chessboard.” Adam Smith, The Theory of Moral Sentiments
