My Yamaha 190 FSH Review

[Murf'n'surf]

@ClemsonTiger - if you have time would you possibly be able to measure from the ground up to the top of the t-top at the highest point? Just checking for storage reasons.

Still haven't heard anything on my FSH

Thanks
Joe

You do have the option to remove the top half of the t-top. It would take you 10 minutes but possible.

The T-top and windshield are designed to fold or remove completely.....

@ClemsonTiger - that is 1 sweet boat. Good luck with her!

 

[Joey]

Still no boat!

 

[Joey]

Thanks for the feedback... Funny enough your situation sounds exactly like mine. I paid my deposit back in the first week of May and I started phoning Yamaha customer service back at the beginning of July. The last time I spoke to them they had already made contact with their shipping department and had said that my boat would ship on Aug. 21. I called yesterday to get an eta on arrival and the person in their shipping department is out of the office and they would have to email her to get an answer. They said that they would have to wait in her response and then call me back... It's crazy to me that a company as large as Yamaha doesn't have anyone else in a department that can back someone up while they are out of the office! Just waiting on a call now...

 

[Joey]

On the phone with Yamaha again... They are saying another 3 weeks due to the lack of aluminum trailer inventory. This is ridiculous

What do you call a fish with no eyes?









Fsh

I know, pretty terrible.

 

[Julian]

The boat is now official!!!

Now you just need a Jetboaters.net sticker on the back!

 

[Joey]

Hi all, is there anyone aware of anyone not on the preferred waiting list for the Yamaha FSH that has already taken delivery of their boat?

I have complain over 3times and they give a diferent story they offer me a credit of $250 and I refuced it I placed a complain in better business beaureau or BBB
and ask Yamaha to give me a full credit for my delivery charge of $1450 and to complete my delivery im wating for their respond .
I recomend you to do the same thats the only way to get their attention making it public.
they did the same with me wen I call denise product specialis she was not available most of the time, a huge company and they can respond a phone call

Can anyone share what did they pay out the door for the FHS?
Did any Yamaha offers applied? 2.9 or 4.9 apt, 5 year warranty, etc?

Thank you in advance,
Daniel

The only thing Yamaha is great at is being LATE ON DELIVERY and bad customer service.

Yamaha toll me that they did not have trailers, how they did not see these before the delivery time I hope they build these boats right with their bad organization.
I always purchace Seadoo jetboats and they have been great to bad they stop making them.

Yamaha is dependent on their suppliers just like any company. I'll bet there will be a serious discussion with their FSH trailer supplier soon....if not already!

I lost my whole summer I had planed to make a trip to bimini bahamas in the 190 fsh and do to yamaha tardiness I have to cancel, and now the hurricanes are in a bad mood these days. #@$@%&!@₩€$#@!!!!Im begining to hate the brand YAMAHA

 

[Julian]

1.) You can not use a transom mount transducer. I had to purchase a through-hull model. Not a big deal but it kinda sucks.
2.) Yamaha supplies the boat with very cheap plastic rod holder sheaths. I bought a set of outriggers to go deep sea trolling with and the rod holders broke within 15 minute. I purchased heavy duty metal rod holders and had them installed. See pic.

Why can't you use a transom mount transducer?
Pity they went with plastic rod holders.

Trying to figure out to put a picture on my signature but its not working....View attachment 28250

that is a SICK bike.

 

[Joey]

Yes I'm very interested to understand why the transducer cannot be mounted on the transom. Any additional info you can offer would be greatly appreciated!

Was considering which gps/fishfinder I'd go with. Simrad seems to be my likely choice. This unit has a fair price and has everything you'd need with the option to expand in the future.
