    Yes, we have heard it. On the Yamaha board (and elsewhere) they seem to be accepting it as fact. Most are saying up to 11 months out on big blocks. This is just what I have read, but no one seems to be contradicting.

    I believe this factual information as BCB manufacturing verified the extreme backlog and big block shortage.

    It’s fact....lol. My new Z522D is sitting at the Ranger factory with no 250 SHO...

    Just waiting now to see if Ranger and my dealer can get their hands on a 25” shaft SHO.

    does this have anything to do with all the boats that received damaged from the hurricanes that hit the this year? all those boat owners getting their insurance checks and buying new motors? boats? seen on local news in south florida how everyone was scrambling around for motors and yamaha was the one that everyone wanted for off shore fishing and such. I just can't believe their is a wait all sudden for motors.

    Thanks, I appreciate it.

    I'm still confused as to why Ranger would build my boat without an assigned motor to my hull....seems odd. So now I just wait.

    Hope they get one before April or else Ranger did a lot of work for nothing...............

    If you're looking to order a boat with a VF250 SHO I might be able to help. I'm still waiting on details for pre-rig pricing but I have plenty of inventory if they will play nice on the pricing.

    Not interested in selling loose motors so please don't ask.

    I'm curious do they have enough inventory for skeeters or do they have wait as well?

    No harm in posting here, but better chances of responses to that question on the Skeeter or Yamaha boards.

    Not sure what I did to you but thanks for calling me names...I just got 6 more in this week..I got 18 of them sitting at my shop.

    I should have left that last part out, I'm not that big of a jerk, I really just don't want 500PM's asking for a loose motor price, I've already got dealers all over blowing me up asking me to get them motors.

    I believe the word is that skeeters are alright for now but could start running short later in the year. Not 100% certain on that as there's been no concrete statement made that I'm aware of. At least with other brands you could get another motor, but with skeeter there's no other option.
