Question about yamaha

[Bilmon]

What year did Yamaha switch from 2 stroke to 4? My youngest son [29] who never cared for boating rode in mine for the first time[ only had it since 2003] and he is hooked. Haven't come across any Yamahas in the area worth a look yet, at least in his price range and size. Have located a couple of of Seadoos and Sugarsands.Going to look at this Sat.http://chicago.craigslist.org/nch/boa/5129299480.html It's top of his budget since he wants to pay cash and he just bought a new truck. Nice to be young and single

I think 2005 was the last 2 stroke that Yamaha produced. Ar210 I could be wrong though. Does he want a 2 stroke or not? After I did all of my reliability stuff my XR1800 was a beast!!!

I am pretty sure the 2004 23footers were 4 strokes and the 21 / 19ft models followed closely after.

Doesn't matter really, 2 or 4, I was just curious because so many of the ads he has been sending me are pretty vague .I will most likely end up with the wrench duty, I'm an old gearhead from way back and he isn't the most mechanical of people though he is getting better. Seems like my family has a jet problem, Me, one daughter has 3, now him

Any Yamaha 23' or larger is four stroke. Any Yamaha newer than 2006 is four stroke. The 2005 LX210 and AR210 were the last two stroke Yamaha Boats.
