Any new Yamaha 2025 Boats rumors, info, or guesses?

[WiskyDan]

Based on what I’ve seen/heard in this thread so far this seems like the least inspiring new product offerings since I’ve been following this stuff but the black-on-black colorway is absolutely stunning.

They do this every year to pump up the excitement, but in reality they just pumped up the prices and changed colors

Looks like the TR-1 engines are still in a couple of boats… it appears that the NA 1.8 is now gone from all the models? The 1.8 SVHO stays, for now, it’s bullet proof and there doesn’t seem to be a need for greater power, even a modest one from the new 1.9, or perhaps development of a SVHO had some reliability things come up that will have to be engineered out before releasing.

There are some other color changes that look nice as well….

The mobile app has a few updates but is otherwise void of details. My “old” iPad 2016 model, doesn’t play well with the dot com site so I’ll avoid being frustrated and wait until the app is updated.

Wonder what the "wake enhancements" are on the 255xd. Yammy just ran a fb ad, and it mentioned updated thruster angles. Wonder what they changed.

Shape changes to the hull and thruster feed

I noticed the Hertz speakers as well. Wonder what happened to WetSounds. WetSounds definitely has a better brand recognition.

Not much has changed… color combos are nice but for the increased price I don’t see much reason to switch(not that I was even thinking of it)

Now that we’re still in the same boat as last year.. Is the general consensus to go with the 1.9 or the 1.8svho?

“I don’t see much reason to switch”

They aren’t expecting you to switch, it’s a gradual process, if you bought a 2015 boat, you’re most likely to start considering new options around 2030. There will be many changes by then

This year was heavily focused on casual boaters, and probably will be always more focused on casual boaters. Color and comfort changes make more sales.

Lower powered boats are getting "Racing Inspired" aesthetic changes but no actual performance increase, people on a forum site can see right though it, but these changes totally appeal to an audience who just wants to go fast on water.

Interested in the swim up steps for the 19'. Do they look retrofittable?

This is a pretty neat addition to the 19’ boats.

Yea yea yea I know... I like to dream, so don't ruin my moment when I thought I could swap out my 6month old 255 for a new one in an even swap...

Shape changes to the hull and thruster feed

Hull looks identical with the last 20" cut back.
I heard something about the drive x, moving the nozzles now to "surf point" angles, rather then having them engaged 24/7. 15* or something ifv the sorts. Curious if it's more drastic then prior years.

Thank you for the posts!

Did I miss or overlook something? Can't seem to find much new. I was out of town on vacation and now back and browsing Yamaha's website.

$58k for an AR220 with TR-1's?

 

[flyingnugget]

You didn’t miss anything lol.. some different colors and that’s about it.

All this talk about steps? I am assuming folks meant swim up seats? More than one person posted swim up steps, so I had to go check it out. Seats unless I missed something.

That new black is amazing to look at, and cook eggs on. I can't imagine how hot that will get. Folks will be frying feet right and left.

It looks amazing from the back, but the sides need a stripe to match the interior. More smokey and the bandit style.

BNG it is. You can tell it's a yawn year for boats when this is the only live thread with posts about an announcement that happened three days ago!

I do like the yamaha is taking the SeaDoo Spark market more seriously. Not everyone needs a $20K waverunner.

lol, I read seats even though Sam posted “steps”, which I believe is what he meant to post.

You can see the swim up seat brackets, on the new 19’ pics.

That was my take on it as well. I still want a retro fit kit for my older 242LS. We have no sandbars on our lake, so swim up seats would be money. (just too much money)

Disappointing 2025 year model release for sure !
