The Brand New 2017 Yamaha AR195 and SX195

[vanessa]

I have a SX192. The header on the garage is 80" and the boat clears it by 1". The garage is 18'6" x 18'6" and the boat fits in there diagonally with the tongue folded, it's a tight fit with a couple inches to spare.

Nice from the sound of that it should def fit if I get the SX. I'm thinking the AR with the wake tower might be tougher to fit into the garage. Did you have to do anything special to the trailer to clear it, like release some air in the tires?

It would be interesting to see your GPH and MPH around the 5500 to 6000 rpm range. Boattest has the figures listed at various RPM's for the 190's, 192's and 212. It looks like the best cruise for the 190 and 192 is 6000rpm. The 212x appears to get the best mileage at 5000rpm.

AR190 @ 6000 = 6.3gph, 28.4mph which equals 4.5mpg
AR192 @ 6000 = 10.6gph, 28.5mph which equals 2.7mpg
212x @ 5000 = 8.5gph, 27.2mph which equals 3.2mpg

Good discussion, and thank you @malibu Dan for clarifying the premium requirement for SVHOs.

One important caveat with fuel usage in 190s, and probably all 19fters, is that those numbers above are good for flat water conditions only. Once you are in even 1-2ft seas - you will be burning as much (or more) as the twin engine 24ft boats to maintain speeds of 25+mph.

No modifications to trailer or lowered air pressure in tires.

So, I picked up my 2017 AR195 today. I'm coming from a Seadoo Speedster 255. We only had time for the dealer delivery ride today, but there are some nice fit and finish touches in addition to the more obvious mechanical improvements. I'll try posting up some picks soon. New to the forum so I'm sure I'll encounter some hurdles.

Welcome @ceehike and congrats!

Stereo wouldn't seek or BT... Bimini worked great at speed.. Stowing Bimini a pain but that's about it for negatives.... So much storage room on this boat..

I found the BT to be tricky too. The trick was to connect from the Source or Input after you turn on the BT through the Menu function. I hope this helps. I've only had my boat out once so far, but very impressed.

@haknslah here you go

Was someone asking where the flush ports are? These are photos of the 192....they moved them for 2017 to the stern on the swim platform....

 

[malibu Dan]

Somebody had asked about the handles being brushed or plastic... that pic is 195... they r not on the swim platform

Got it! Thanks!

Someone post up a video of a 195 scooting across the water. I'd like to see how they go.

I would love to if fall would take a break for a weekend and allow some warm weather

Come on. It's not that cold yet. Where do you live?
Oh, never mind. That 195 isn't heavy enough to crack ice eh?

 

[malibu Dan]

Net sure if mine came with optional icebreaker bow

 

[haknslash]

If it did you would have to paint the front of the bow like this!

 

[malibu Dan]

That gives me mod ideas...

Congrats... order a replacement bow roller and slap it on first thing... ask to keep the cover used for transport... make sure they throw in Yamaha starter pack. You'll need 5 pin attachment for trailer lights....

 

[Buoy23]

Yes, I have plans on order that bow roller everyone on this site is recommending. I,m calling the dealer right now to ask about the shipping cover and to see if he has anymore in his back room as suggested from someone on this forum in another thread. My Chevy Z71 Silverado Crew has the trailer package and it worked with my other boat trailer but i will double check. I'm pretty sure the dealer will not come down on the price of the boat so i was hoping to get him to throw in 2 of those inflatable life vests? they are about $500.00 for 2.

 

[haknslash]

Congrats @Buoy23 ! Your boat should come with the shipping cover free of charge. I don't know of a lot of dealers that toss them but I suppose there are some. Every boat that leaves the plant in TN comes with a shipping cover for transport and this should be given to the new owner.

If the dealer won't come down on the price (most Yamaha dealers won't move too far from MSRP for new model year boats) then work in them throwing in some fenders, dock lines, life jackets (not sure they will toss in those expensive inflatable ones like you want), deluxe anchor kit, etc to help offset getting a discount on MSRP if they don't budge.

 

[malibu Dan]

Our dealer threw in Yamaha starter pack ... had everything we woukd need to get out on the water.... it was a nice bonus...
