ordered one just like this and never came in. Cancelled my order. Definitely sharp looking boats!
Boat performed “behind” expectations? Or beyond? I’m guessing beyond.
Beautiful boat. Still waiting on ours to come in. Fingers crossed. What size Garmin is that?
Thanks, I hope yours comes in soon! 10" Garmin. It was a little nerve-racking cutting the hole. ha
Im up to 6 holes I have cut in mine since 2021, even the last one which was just 6 months ago was still nerve wrecking.
Did your SPT come with snap in marine mat? Dealer ensured me that it came with flooring when I ordered. Still no word on delivery
I only have the one snap-in mat behind the helm. According to my dealer, the sport model doesn't come with full mats like the E (let me know if you find out anything). I've owned two other traditional CC boats in the past and this is my first "jet" boat and so far I'm very pleased. I'll post more pictures later.
the FSH boats all come with snap in marine mat on the main deck… standard. If they cut this out on the Sport model, then Yamaha is really starting to cut corners. When I first ordered the 222 sport all of the documentation stated it came with a Simrad, then later they changed it stating only on the E model. I recently cancelled our 222 Sport order(boat still hasn’t arrived) and kinda glad I did if they’re cutting stuff that used to be standard like the marine Mat.
Yeah, since I've never had marine mat before, maybe I don't fully understand what I'm missing. I've always been accustomed to the Garmin ecosystem, so the absence of Simrad wasn't a major concern for me. Still, they could have at least made sure the hinge screws were tightened! Ha!
I can second about everything mentioned here. I took delivery "drove 1000 miles round trip" on June 1st to pick up my 220 FSH Sport. Already have 12 hours on it and I'm overly impressed. Acceleration and speed are greatly exceeding expectations of the TR-1s. I saw 42 mph on the dash the other night with just myself and 55% fuel. The 220 sport also only has the marine mat at the leaning post, no other marine mat other than the casting platforms. My biggest disappointment is that the 220 sport doesn't get the bow seating cushions. Just textured fiberglass for the kids to sit on. Fit and finish are also a concern. I had the dealer tighten the ski locker hinge at walk through, but the fiberglass is already starting to spider from stress of them opening a loose hinge at set up. I have fished it a couple times, and once with 3 fisherman. Plenty of room to spread out. It does tend to drift slightly towards the bow, instead of straight down wind, but much slower than id expect with that tall freeboard. I thought the 10 mph wind would send it sailing. I'd say I'm completely satisfied and impressed so far.
Thanks for sharing your experience thus far. Surprised to see that on your model the cushions are not included. Previously Yamaha was known for including “everything” with the model, with trim levels bring upgrades (different drivetrain, e-throttles, plusher upholstery, tower, etc.). If they are going this route, you would think the online build/configuration tool would show things such as the cushions and table/casting platform as additional add-ons/packages, as they do with the swim up seats.
I do plan to source the front bow cushions when the become available. Hopefully JBP makes an aftermarket option like the bow filler cushion in the past, or direct from Yamaha if parts ever become available. I have found about 34-35 mph is a nice cruising speed. Anything below 31-32 or so won't stay up on plane.
Just wanted to revisit the planing speed I mentioned. I just got off the water and specifically tested this out. It will stay on plane down to about 20 mph and 6000 rpm. It feels like it's not going to because it's so slow and the bow is so high, but it does stay up.@jbush4 Thanks for the feedback and photos. I do like the all white boat.
Just went back to look at the Yamaha website, and the “compare tool”, clearly indicates that bow cushions are included on all 22’ FSH models, as well as Marine Mat flooring (doesn’t differentiate between models). I know they state specifications can change, but when they do, they should update their online tools. (Comparison tool as of 6/17/2023 attached). This might be something you can take back to your dealer. I don’t see any mention of the bow table delete either.
Surprised that the new hull design has such a high planning speed, but appreciate you confirming that, I noticed on the pre-production model stats that were shared by publications/reviews for the 222 FSH and the 222 Runabout, that the boats needed to be above 6k RPMs before they broke 20mph.
Wishing you a great season of fishing and enjoying your boat!!
