Differences between the Newer 4 Cycle Yamaha Jet Boats

[topgun7214]

Can someone answer a question? I'm looking at a 2015 AR240. It has the same tower as a 14. Also the passenger side front seat is like a 2014 also no 7"connex. Am I actually looking at a 2014?? I am so confused an the net is making it more confusing. Thanks in advance

Yep. ‘15 s have new style tower. Also has the articulating keel (rudder), and the seat backs on the swim deck open up for storage. Previous years don’t have those things.

The last 2 digits of the hull ID number is the YEAR

Like Jeff said, the last 2 digits are the model year, the next 2 digits to the left is letter and number conforming to date of manufacture where the letter corresponds to a month A=Jan B= Feb, etc. and the number is the year 4 for 2014 5 for 2015 so you know down to which month the boat was built.

Thanks guys. I have not seen the boat in person only pictures and talking to owner on the phone only. I honestly believe the guy has a 2014 and he purchased it in 2015. Nothing in the pictures makes a bit of sense as being a 2015, tower, connex, seats. I just thought maybe for some reason there could have been a mid year model change or something that I did not know about. The boat appears to be in mint condition. I talking to guy he said he has never winterized the boat because he stores it inside heated storage and the dealer told him there was no need to do it as long as all the water was drained out. I am curious though and just may go take a look see.

Ask for the last digits of the hull number tell him you are checking on the possibility of buying an extended warranty in your decision making process and you need the last 4 digits.

If anybody can post any overhead of the 2016
19 foot models I would appreciate that.
I love to see progression in design

It might be good to add a brief summary of style & package designations? I'm often asked things such as, what's the difference between AR and SX, which is mostly the tower however I have no clue what the glaring differences between E, X, LTD, S etc...

From 2013 to 2014 212SS..........other than the color, they changed the grip handles in the cabin (no longer all chrome) and added the speakers on the swim step.

I see you got the Limited SE!! Congrats!

I thought when this went online we'd have too many people vying to update it...seems like I was totally wrong and now we missed the 2019 model info!

And now that I'm looking at it and trying to add stuff, my fears that this would get messy are realized. FUBAR'd grrrrrrr

Hello all,

New to the boating world and definitely the jet world.

I'm not sure were to post this at as I have been searching the forums up and down and have learned ALOT on this site, just not sure were to post this at so....THANK YOU ALL for the info.

I am looking at buying a boat this Fall/Winter and am perplexed as to which way to go.

I am looking at the 23/24ft range of boat. I like the SX230/240 and the AR230/240.

Here is my issue. I'm not sure to go new or used.

I am basing this on cost of operations per month. I believe the payment would be roughly the same per month as I would finance either boat.

Any help or suggestions on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

2009 was the last year of the 230 series, so your payment on a 2009 AR230 should be substantially less than on a new AR 240. Unless your credit is horrible...then I'm not sure id be buying on credit at all.

This thread has the information for the 2021 model year boats in case someone feels like adding it to the file.

I updated one of the earlier posts with some more overheads I have (again....I didn't measure this to scale....this is mark 9 eyeballed!)

The Muther Tucker is probably the oldest I've seen on this forum, but may be one of the loudest! See the boat in the distance? Have a listen.....

What song is that? I want to add that to my playlist..

I can give you some much better dubstep than that. If youre interested in GOOD sorry GREAT dubstep let me know. The song is Animals by Martin Garrix.
