Here are some AR 210 photos from my time with Yamaha:

@Julian some of the pics have the bench type seat and some have the second captains chair. Are they offering both options?

that looks like a couple shots of the 210 and 195 (look at rear seat as well over engine hatch)

@jlcj7 You're right. Didn't catch that.

Got my email last night.... let me just tell you.... yamaha have really done it with these 210's.

A year ago, I was on this site, along with a couple others, and said: "yamaha puts the TR-1 in the 210's and makes them 10 seaters, they win" and here we are.

I CANNOT wait to go have a look at one.

I just wished they had a bit higher top speed. 44 seems kind of low. Did MR1 210's have the same speed or lower?

Boattest shows the MR1 version with a top speed of 46.6. I know there are a lot of complaints of not being able to duplicate that though. They are probably pretty identical in performance. You would think with the weight cut and slight power increase the top speed would be up slightly. I think they should have come in at a lower price point. A base model 190 is 28k and a base model 210 is 40k. That's a big jump for 2 feet and not much better performance.

These were #1 on my wish list for 2017. I was hoping they would have a little more speed if they were going to up the price from the previous 210s. They look really sharp in the pictures. Hoping someone buys one and reports back so I can get an idea of real world performance.

On second thought I guess with the keel, soundproofing, and connext integration these don't seem like bad prices assuming TR1 reliability will match it's other motors.

I see the sx is still under 40k? say hello to this years best selling boat, i bet.

the speed, while underwhelming, isnt an issue for me. My little glastron struggles to keep above 30 with everybody aboard lol. 44 will feel like I'm offshore racing. LOL

It's under 40k by a dollar, but I guess that counts as under. I am anxious to see some real world reports on these TR1 engines. I am fine with 45 mph if that is what it does. There were a lot of reports on the last generation 210 boats maxing out in the high 30s even under decent conditions. I am no speed demon but I don't want to know that the best I can do is 38 mph.

I may be wrong, but from the digging I've done, the bench style seating is the only option for both the SX & AR 210 series. The 212s get the 240 style captains chairs.
