Yamaha just canceled all orders nation wide, Mercury is 54+ weeks across the board.
It started with a press release about 5 weeks ago stating that all orders not delivered by June 30th would be cancelled and on July 1st new orders could be placed with no consideration for any length of wait on a cancelled previous order. As soon as I read it I knew it was to restructure so that they could direct the engines to the boatbuilders. Now about 2 weeks ago they canceled all retail orders effective immediately upon that release.
