For this article we thought we'd bring you something that may help you in making a decision to buy a new boat versus a used boat. But, in addition to that, we thought that it might be helpful if you could do a side by side comparison of every 4 stroke boat Yamaha has ever made and see for yourself which layout is best for you.
In the image below you will find every 4 stroke hull design Yamaha has produced since 2003. They are arranged in order of size from left to right, from the largest (240/242) to the smallest (190/192). What we'd like to point out to you is that the hull size is not the determining factor on how large the bow seating area is. In fact if you will study the image below, you will see how the new 19 foot SX190 (pictured extreme right), actually has a larger usable seating area than the original 230 series released back in 2003.
Yamaha boats have a small seating chart mounted on the starboard side of the cockpit, near the throttles. Each placard will list how many individuals each hull is rated for and the suggested weight capacity. When making your decision as to which boat will be a best fit for you and your family, we suggest that you look at the actual space available to you on each boat, versus reading a rated passenger placard. Since it is very difficult to arrange each and every hull side by side for comparison in the real world, we hope that this illustration will serve as a suitable substitute for the real thing.
As always, best of luck to you as you search out the best Yamaha boat for your money. One thing you can be sure of is that no matter which boat you choose, if its a Yamaha, you can't go wrong!
