New Yamaha color ?

[Gone Coastal]

Of course, it’s a good business model…if you ever need to replacement one of the engines or new lower unit , crown, trim mount. Grady White will glad to sale you more custom parts to match.

Well, there was no price premium for this. My build sheet doesn't even have this as an option. It was either Yamaha pearl white or grey, no price difference between the two. I opted for the white and beginning in 2024, the GWs are now coming in grey or the ivory. I suppose one could get pearl white if they wanted, but I doubt GW is even keeping those in inventory going forward. These come this color from Yamaha, GW doesn't paint these. It's a Yamaha factory option only for GW.

So, yes, if a lower unit goes out, someone has to pay. And it would be wise to match your current color, whatever that is. I don't see it as a "custom" part though. My current boat had the SB lower unit (Mercury Verado) go out last year and I had to pay just under 10 grand to get it replaced. It's the cost of owning a boat.

Thanks! Now I have to wait 2 weeks or so while they get it all rigged up!

Thanks for the pics! That’s a beautiful boat. I’m sure you’re stoked!
that sticker on the port gunwale at the transom is the factory QC sticker. It has the initials of the inspectors. It peels off easy. I stuck it on a sheet of paper and kept it.

I should have taken that! I did take the GW Sticker from the wrap!

Good morning
I was just told that the 2024 boats can order Yamaha 300’s in the Grady cream color instead of the pearl white.
What do you think ?

Just ordered a new 232 Gulfstream with these, think will look great !

saw both white and cream at the NE boat show. Cream does look sweet.

They look fantastic! I don’t know if white is still an option for new builds

Agreed. For the price, I would think they should be available with gold plating, real bits of unicorn dust or something similar.

And a bag of cash stuffed under the cowling

The pearl white just doesn't blend. Looks very aftermarket. The Grady Cream looks custom and flows perfectly.

I was at the factory on Monday and here's a pic of the engines...

I think GW will ditch the white after talking with the dealers at the show. Yamaha did the color specifically for GW, so you can be sure they all will be that color soon. I think it looks really sharp.
