Nice the 1.9L replaces the 1.8L in the whole line up it looks like. Wondering what the true specs are of the engine. If there is a noticeable difference, for those whom waited they will appreciate it.
$1,200 increase only on the AR250 with the new engines. Very respectable. Bigger throttle body and optomized intake and exhaust. If there is a very noticeable difference it will be nice.
Why didn't Yamaha put the new 1.9L in the 195s. Its in the 222s & 252s models. As stated in a previous thread, the 1.9L is a welcome addition, but it should have been at least a 2.0L IMHO. There should also be an option for a 225s and 255s.
The "wake" models still can't (legally/safely per the USCG capacity plate) carry near enough ballast (from the brochure, emphasis added)...
"22FT X Models - 2,050 LBS is the maximum total weight of persons and cargo shown should include the weight of the ballast (if equipped), which is 1,100 LBS, when calculating weight."
"25FT X Models - 2,350 LBS is the maximum total weight of persons and cargo. Include the weight of the ballast (if equipped), which is 1,600 LBS, when calculating weight."
Love the X features on the 252SD. You don’t “need” them once you’ve had some practice. That said, one button lateral movement and dock hold would still be neat to have. Plus the 1.9 engine. I wonder if they run quieter? That would be a major improvement.
I'm interested in seeing (hearing) if the 1.9's run smoother than the 1.8's. I don't feel the need for more speed/power in our AR250, but a smoother and quieter engine would be nice.
Thats a screen shot from the app for the 255 SE and the 255 SH, same with the 25’ wake boats.
Then there is this…
The EX stands for expandable… so, I wonder if in addition to the low speed maneuvering if there is the same capabilities that the outboards have, Spot Lock, Low Speed Trolling, and Auto pilot?
