New to the site after lurking for some time researching Yamaha boats…so much info. I’m in the market and would love a chance for a quick ride and ask a ton of questions from a Yamaha owner. Especially if you have had other boats and know the lake well. I do live here in South Lake so please contact me if willing to help out…thanks in advance!

Update your profile to at least add your city/state. I'm certain you aren't near me, but I'm willing to take you out if you are traveling to my area, and I'll talk your ear off.

Is that Texas, or....? There's a decent number of people volunteering in this thread, so see if someone is in your area, as we are all willing ambassadors for Yamaha, and you'll be treated to the good AND bad, which EVERY boat has, and you'll get lots better info, IMO, about what to expect with a Yamaha.

I personally think they're the best all-around boat, but if you have specific desires, you may indeed be better served with something else, and I believe we'll be able to give you an honest opinion about whether a Yamaha may be your best bet, or if you might look elsewhere.

Headed to Wisconsin? Hit me up. 😁

I'm up for offering test rides. 2012 Yamaha sx190. Close to Camp Far West, Sacramento River, Bullards Bar Reservoir, Collins Lake and Sacramento River. I CAMP 2 weeks a month near bullards they could go then or whenever. So I live in Plumas Lake (but there's no Lake lol) about 45 minutes south of Sacramento Ca
