2015 Yamaha Jet Boat Pictures

As @cane.mba pointed out, I would like a few of these. 2015s are available on the 24th. I hope they stick to their published price !

Hmmm don't like the rudder thingy. I wonder if they beefed up the transom?
 
@Bruce I wonder if we could order a dozen each?
 
Plastic hood looks a little cheap and I'm fine with that if it keeps the $ down. :) Looking side-by-side, it also appears they may have addressed the throttle positioning complaint.

Hope the LCD screen is touch sensitive and not purely joystick controlled. Would love to see GPS mapping as an option, too.

Im a little 50/50 on the fence regarding the LCD screen. I like it, it looks good and its about time, and it would be great to have GPS functions. But after spending some time in friends MasterCrafts and Malibu's - who's screens control all the functions of the boat - radio, lighting, ballast, trim tabs, surf gates, wedge, PP, etc etc - NO THANKS. When their screens lock up, NOTHING works.

Im hoping Yamaha keeps it simple and pulls it off and avoids the electronic gremlins!
 
I've got a feeling I'm going to wish I had a '15...I like the forward swept tower and I'm betting that the '15 ar240 has more wake sports equipment from the factory similar to the 212x.
 
i found this and seems to be what they are trying to replicate....the dash? the plane adjustments, etc....

I'm new here so be easy if I'm off track...

 
Interesting... Could the monitor in the sneak peak pic above include a rear facing camera for water sports?
 
I'd say you are right...190, 212ss,212x,ar240,sx240,limited S, limited on the end.

Would have to agree. Probably wishful thinking but the 242s actually look a little longer than the 240. Also appears to return to the white bottom hull.
 
Look away Eric...Look away..your 212x is perfect....you love your boat...your boat is perfect for the family....unsubscribe ...unsubscribe
