Not sure if dealers have any yet but they did start production a few weeks ago.

Does any one know roughly how long after production that they start to show up in showrooms?

Just like a kid waiting for x-mas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[TMF]

Any updates? Are they being shipped yet? The new boat is at the dealer just waiting for the motor. Everyone says it is worth the wait, I hope so. Can't wait!!!

[rudetech1]

They are being shipped. In order. ARRRGG . It'll be worth your wait. Good thing usually are!!

[johnrude]

Yow will not see any sitting in showrooms. They are only being shipped to dealers that have them sold. I am told that every dealer that has them sold within the boat show program will have the engine by the end of April by the latest. This goes for all 115, 150, 175, and small 200's.

I spoke with my dealer today and he told me one month . I thought this was just b.s. that way I wouldn't call back for a month and hopefully he would get them in , but maybe he is telling the truth I just don't know anymore. Yamaha dealer is dying to sell me f150's but I'm holding out .

Thanks for the info. Now that the lakes are starting to open up its really going to be torture not having my boat yet

Welcome to the BBC Mako25 and TMF.

What's the lead time if I ordered one today?
Will they extend the 7 year warranty until the dealers have them?

Jeffnick,


If you placed your order with a participating dealer before the end of the promotion which was yesterday, the dealer "registers" the sale with Evinrude and can give you the 7 years of coverage or the rebate even though the motor will arrive later.

A sold motor like this would have priority shipping over dealer orders that were just for stock. Earlier orders of sold motors are being shipped first.

Sorry you missed the promotion.

[TMF]

Good news! Dealer called and said my motor came in yesterday and they hooked it up today. Going down saturday to pick it up. I wasn't expecting it becuase I talked to him monday and he said he didn't know when they would be there.

[TMF]

Here it is, although it's not really a "bass" boat.





I was running 45mph at 5500rpm at full throttle with a 13 x 17 alum prop. The boat is listed at 1100lbs. Is that about where it should be or should I try a different prop?

TMF,
What are the top rpms supposed to be on the 115 E-Tec? Glad you got yours!!

Keep what you got!!! A good stainless would perform a little better, but your numbers are great. Looks good too!!!!! When the weather gets bad, at least you have a windsheild to get behind!!!! I just have a rain coat!!

[RenMan]

Oh that is cruel posting those kind of pics,while we wait for ours!!
It reminds me of my dog when I am eating a big icecream cone in front of her on a hot sunny day.

What length is the crestliner Tmf?

[TMF]

Sorry about the pics The boat is 17.5 feet.

For TMF:

How well does she idle? Do you have it set at the 500 RPM minimum? Vibration?

From your manual(?), does the 115 have the 25 or 50 amp output dedicated to the batteries? The site/catalog have been contradictory.

Thanks!

[TMF]

JVC, It idles at about 600rpm and there isn't any noticable vibration.

Manual states "battery charging/ 50-amp, Fully regulated, Dual isolated"

Hope that helps.
