Maybe I'm strange, but I'm starting to like Yamaha
Dec 16^th, 2009 at 1:33pm

I was looking at their 2010 models here:

http://www.yamaha-motor.com/boat/products/modeloverview/ls/2010/model_overview.a...

I really think I like the Yamaha AR240. It is a very reasonable price for the size of boat that it is. It's big enough that the waves on Lake Travis won't toss it around too easy. I like the maneuverability and how configurable the seating is. I don't see a lot of these out there, so I figure I must be in the minority on liking these.

Any thoughts?

Apparently they can haul some ass and turn like crazy. I just noticed, they don't have a large engine area...so that makes for more space. That's pretty cool.

I'm tempted by Yamaha as well. I love the way they do the social area on the transom....great design. I love all of the space.

I've never driven one so I don't know how they handle or anything about the jet propulsion (shallow draft/no props to ding).

I'm not in the market this year....looking at buying a bigger house instead. But if I was, I would check them out.

Here's a used one for sale..........

That used Yamaha is pretty sweet. I've never seen one with the table like that. That would be awesome for some party boating. It really looks like you get a helluva lot of boat for your money with Yamaha. 50 MPH is pretty respectable, not as fast as I'd like but it's good! I wonder how good they are from a dig, quick take off or long build up to speed?

I am liking these more and more. Apparently they have a better hole shot too.
