Cons-the seats have some rips in them. The depth finder works intermittently and the speedometer doesn’t work, the part needed to fix is discontinued so I just used my the avionics app.

One of my favorite Yamaha jetboats!

Interested… looking at a couple other things locally (we’re near Lake Wylie) but gonna have a chat with the better half about this one.

Im not a boat newbie, but I AM a Yamaha jet newbie (as evidenced by the fact that this is my first post). I’ve only done light reading on these engines, but I’ve seen a lot of folks say these 2007+ motors are solid. Are they still common enough to find parts for, have a shop work on them, etc?

 

[ttahara]

There are still most parts available. I found even some aftermarket parts that worked well. I’m sure a shop would work on it but I did the with myself, I’m a mechanic by trade. To be honest, the way it’s set up, it’s not hard to work on at all. This site had plenty of good info and YouTube as well. The motors are very reliable and this one has very low hours so no worries. The price is negotiable.

We’ve been looking in the 19-21 ft range. It’s just my wife and I, so we hadn’t considered bigger. Our goal is to get on the water and have some fun in a used boat for a few seasons then look for something new/newer. We may occasionally have another couple/kids and do some tubing but 95% will just be the two of us.
I think the extra size/space would be quite nice for two. A small part of me is concerned however about the increased size as it relates to maneuverability but I’m sure those concerns are silly. The more realistic concern is storage (has to be off site, thanks to HOA) but I think all the places I’ve check thus far can accommodate this.

We would mainly stay local at the lake up here but we do get to the beach at least once a year. The bigger size would certainly open up fun on those trips where I wouldn’t necessarily consider taking a 19 footer.

to me it doesn’t feel like a 23 ft boat and it does maneuver differently than a center console but not in a bad way. We had a lot of fun on it and will be sorry to see it go but we just don’t used it enough to justify keeping it.
