I've not actually come across one before, but a quick google up and it looks OK to me. I'd be surprised if Yamaha put there name to anything other than a substantial sib.
No doubt similar quality to the honwaves, Tohatsu, suzimar ect.
14.7kw appears to be the max rated engine, which will be approx 20hp, so it'll no doubt go very well.
Congrats on your purchase :cheers

TBH I've only seen a couple of them over the years but I thought at the time that the build quality seemed good.
I think like most sibs over recent years, although most (if not all) are built in China and branded under different names the quality on the whole is pretty good.........I'm sure the likes of Yamaha (Yam) and Honda (Honwave) do their research, specify what materials, glue, quality of manufacture they demand before marketing them under their brand, hence why they are at the 'higher end' price range for sibs :idea:
I can't remember if they had an inflatable 'V' floor, slatted floor with inflatable keel or an aluminium deck......so what's yours :?:

Gutted for you mate :(
Why people put stuff up for sale at a price they want and then either 'bitch' about how low they've let it go for, or as in your case, make up bollix to back out of the deal is beyond me :evil: :thud
Hopefully something will turn up :idea:
