Yamaha 252 FSH Sport or 222 FSH Sport E?

"...plus passengers..." Why would I consider "passengers" when considering the tow weight?

No, but if they're like my wife, they'll pack weight 1:1 for anyone in the truck

@cgaechief - 6 Month check-in/status update. How’s the 222 FSH been treating you?

ViS,

We only have about 25 hours on it, done in about 7 outings. I love it. Actually, everyone that has been on it, loves it. I have Hertz radio issues(won't come out of mute). Our community salt water launch is very narrow canal, about 40' wide. I cannot come into the trailer straight on, and it was difficult controlling it turning 90* to get it on the trailer. I purchase the Thrust Vector and Lateral Thrust kit from Will Owen's JBP.

WOW, what a difference that made. Incredible difference. I had resorted to getting out of the boat and guiding it on with ropes. Now, I can easily drive it right on. It is amazing the difference in controlling. Even heading in or out of our canal with boat docks on both sides was a bugger. I was constantly, and I mean constantly, adjusting the steering wheel, but not since I installing those JBP steering enhancements.

There are a lot of areas in the Pine Island Sound where we do the majority of our fishing and boating that are very shallow, less than 3'. We can get to a lot more fishing spots with the low draft of this boat. We have even had the grandkids behind it wake surfing/boarding,and kneeboarding.

Absolutely the perfect boat for us and our family.
