Yamaha Boat Comparisson

Boattest.com has some decent reviews on the Yamaha models. I have also attached a PDF for the 2020 brochure. I believe one of the last pages has the “spec” grid across the models.

Have fun researching, searching, and shopping for your next boat!

Here is an adaption of an older overhead compilation I had with some new boats added! Enjoy!

I have an AR190 which the Admiral and I have really enjoyed. It’s only the two of us, no towing of wakeboards, water skiers, or tubers. I run it easy at sub 30 mph speeds. But if wanted to have 7 or 8 people onboard with plenty of room for all 7 or 8 to be comfortable, great speed, the ability to do more than just acceptable water sports I would buy a 25 footer and be done with it. Since I don’t have a 25 footer I don’t know for sure about the water sports capability but it has to be a heck of a lot better than a 190 or 195s. If you can swing it get the 25’ boat. It probably wouldn’t suck.
