That is a difficult one. I just got mine last week. Took over 5 months. Chris Domino in Texas called me yesterday and he is getting one in. I'm sure he sold it, but you could check. They go as quick as you can find them.
tim Powell at Fastbass Marine is great to work with if you are ordering

I know where there is a 300R with a sporty Price will be higher than Jacos so don't even bother if you expect to get it at that price. PM me if you're interested.
With all due respect..maybe give the BBC sponsors a call...only seems reasonable, right?

Some reports up to 20 months and there will be a price increase. Was told Merc will not honor the price when original order was placed.
Have also been told they will be sold for new boats only.. no repowers.
I have a new boat and still can't get a motor.
Looks to me like unless you buy a boat under the Morris banner your SOL for now.
Odds are Merc is going to cripple the sale of any other bass boat since you can't get a motor..

What do you consider early?
I'm talking brand new less then a few months old boats, there are a lot of em. Did something change in the last few days? Please lettuce know what u know? This last BFL on Rayburn had a bunch of em on all brands of boats. Each event I see more, when in Jan there was only a few of new mercs.
What I have heard is loose motor's are the last orders to be filled. They are behind no doubt, and all boat companies, JM owned and not, are having to wait on motors.
I am kinda amazed they cannot produce enough to keep up with demand.

So this comment was only about 300Rs? Gotcha. Wonder how many 300Rs have been sold under the JM brands?
I'm sure merc is honoring there bigger contracts first, no doubt. It sucks, I understand the frustration. Hope y'all get one soon.

Yes sir you got me:
Counting JM's saltwater rigs not as many 300R's as 250R's But Merc did not make as many 300R's as 250R's and a lot less R motors than XS motors.
Not knocking JM in anyway shape or form. Its a fact that when you sell more units than all the rest combined your going to get special treatment.
One of my best friends in the whole world has been a Ranger dealer for 22 years.. He's not had trouble getting motors . While the dealer down the street has 2 non JM boats waiting for over 6 months.. Just saying.
It is frustrating but theres nothing we can do but P&M.. I should not complain after all I have a new boat and still have my old one that I'm fixing to hang the 3.2 ltr stroker off of it until a new 4 stroke shows up.
