We've since added Seakeeper Ride to both our FSH models and it helped a ton! Without the ride was ok, but with the ride is much more enjoyable for everyone and I find that I spend less time steering the boat and more time enjoying the ride. RIDE reduced pitch and roll by 70%

Price difference when we bought was about $10K, rough water handling has been good in the Gulf (Panama City Florida), 21 rides a touch better because it's longer and heavier but honestly both ride well enough that I'd feel safe bringing my family along on a regular day here in the Panhandle. Check out our rough water ride video on the 18 footer.

where can one get the marine mat for the rear deck area (where the cooler and leaning post are)? for the 2024 FSH 222 Sport E? We have the "warm" cool interior as well. *Update I found your marine mat kits for the FSH 222 but the complete cock pit kit comes with marine mat I already have, just need the rear deck area where the cooler and the two jump seats are. Make a kit for that area.

We've not had issues and we boat in areas that have grass from time to time. The clean out ports are handy for that scenario. If you get a clog, just remove the port and remove the clog. Then install the port again and off you go.

What gas is required for the 255? Having a hard time getting search results online for “super unleaded” marine grade gas. Are you referring to 90 octane vs 87/88? Or something even higher?

Thanks bud, but I’m still not sure I’ve ever seen anything over 90 octane rating on the lakes we run. When I hear super, I’m thinking 93 like we see at car gas pumps, which I don’t put in our boats. Was just wondering whether the manual specifies a minimum octane rating. Love your videos, cheers!

That boat should sell for $74k plus dealer fees of $4000 and taxes of $5000ish so $83k is max I'd pay. Sounds like the dealer you are dealing with is still charging covid prices. I'd suggest you move on to a dealer that is paying attention to the current market.

So you can troll off of the cockpit tower but no water skiing or Wake boarding? You'd think that for the sticker price of those boats, Yamaha could have made sure that the tower was strong enough? It's like selling a customer a pickup truck and telling them not to use the tow package for an eight foot utility trailer.

I want to love these boats but there is just no floor space for fishing. The rear of the boat offers such little menueverability. I wish they had transom layout options with some that aren’t geared so heavily towards pleasure boating / swimming. Make that all fishable space!!
@JetBoatPilot3 ай бұрын
I agree with this. For the purist fisherman the rear of the boat could be more of a flat deck or a wrap around cockpit. Right now there's too many things to have to look out for while you're walking back there and it would be easy to trip if you were not paying close attention. A single level swim platform would be helpful with this. That's one thing I like about the Scarab 255 with the tail gate folded down.

@grimreefer5159Ай бұрын
I just bought a 2024 252 fsh with the new 1.9L engines and so far the boat does great in rough waves. Only issue is if you get cross to the direction of waves (think head on but at say a 45° angle) the boat wants to steer side to side. I'm sure it's all her boats, but this is my first and it for sure requires much more course correction to stay in a straight line at lower speeds than an outboard or a prop driven boat. And this may be just my boat, but it seems to want to pull to one side at higher speeds.
@JetBoatPilotАй бұрын
Since 2017 most Yamaha boats have the new keel design which does stabilize the boat to some degree, but they are also lightweight so they do not ride as smooth as a 7000 pound cc.
