Hello ,
Perspective first time Yamaha / first time jetboat purchaser here . Focusing on either AR210 or 212 Limited S. Currently have a 2008 Chaparral 210 SSi with 5.0 Merc. Looking for comments and info on the "TR-1" 3 cylinder engines that come in this model . How long have those engines been used by Yamaha? How much HP are they rated at ? Would 2 of those ( in these 21 footers) be enough power ? What do you think my top speed would be in the AR210 ? ( I have watched the Boat Test reviews , but am looking for real life users comments ) ( I dont even know much history of these Yamaha 21 " models , and what engines might have been used in them previously ) How would a pair of these engines compare to a pair of the 1.8 HO engines that come in the 212 Limited S ? I like everything about the AR210 , but am very worried that the AR210 will be under powered with the TR-1s . I will usually have at least 4 adults in the boat , tubing , skiing , wake boarding . But by the same token , I am worried about the 1.8 engines reliability ( being supercharged and intercooled ) - as they are much more complicated engines . I am very intrigued and excited about switching over to this new jet boat technology . Thank you all very much , in advance , for any and all input .
