Just wondering what you guys think would be the closest thing to a Yamaha jet boat, but with an outboard? I had a 212x... Loved it but ended up selling.

Now I want to get back in the game but having jet engines isn't the best situation where I live bc of the saltwater, and I don't want to trailer/buy a lift..... so looking to get something almost identical but with an outboard. Thanks in advance

One my list it would be the Chaparral 21 SSI OB. This is my second favorite 21' boat. Also like the slightly bigger sibling, the 23 SSI OB.

I also like the Robalo 207/227 Dual Consoles.

Wow, the Chap 21 SSI is a very nice boat.
I really like the Chaparral 21 SSI OB Ski & Fish version of this boat. The two rear jump seats can be removed and used on the front and rear casting platforms.
