When we bought our boat new in '06 it was the fastest and most powerful available from Yamaha. Most people think the 210 is under powered or slow. I personally think you'll be happier in the long run with the 212. Unfortunately, depending on your time frame to purchase, you may have a hard time finding inventory or the boat you want. If not, you really can't go wrong with the AR210. Also has a nicer interior and some other things. Eats a bit more gas, and goes about 8 mph faster. If you want to spend another 10k or so jump up to a 212. It is a great boat for the price and what it can do. It was the right price and we have had between 8-10 people on it and still pulling all watersports with ease. I bought ours last May brand new off the lot and we have had a blast with it. Of course if Wake Surfing is what you want to progress to I would go for a wake boat, but then you are going $20 - $30k, additional, easy. Yes you can wakeboard just fine behind and do any watersports you want without issue. Plus our engines are VERY easy to maintain, anyone can do it. That is what sold us on our boat, which is a 2020 AR210. The NICE thing is there is not a prop behind the boat for safety. Once you are on the water a few times it all becomes second nature. It did take me a bit to get the hang of it. Actually I can very easily spin the boat around 360 degrees almost in place. We don't hang out.Ģ) Yamaha Jet boats are louder but we don't have any issues unless we are going full out then it is at times hard to have a conversation with others.ģ) I have no problem in maneuvering. I burn through a full tank in 1 day, but we do 6-8 hours of continuous watersports. Thank you very very much in Fuel economy is not bad. I know its a lot of questions, if anyone could help me clear this up I would greatly appreciate it! (One other question as well, is a AR210 enough boat to wakeboard behind? (I am 6'3" 235lbs) Can a new boater operate this without hitting every dock insight as many have said I would? I have always wanted a boat, I love the water and I love being with my friends and family outside. Is this true? Note I am new to boating, only rented a boat once before really and ridden on family friends boats. Is this true? Are they obnoxiously load or just load because its a boat.? Can you drive this around and still have some and talk with your family and friends?ģ. Is this true? Will is cost an arm and a leg to take the Yamaha Boat out with friends and family all the time?Ģ. Jet Drive boats are terrible on fuel economy. While doing my research I have come across 3 common complaints that are holding me back slightly.ġ. Personally I love the layout of the Yamaha Boats I love the stern and it really looks like the boat for me if the look were the same I would probably go sterndrive but I want to cruise a little bit, do some water sports and hang out with family and friends in the coves a lot. Right now I am stuck between buying a Sterndrive (Monterey M22 with 4.5 Mercruiser 250hp) or a Yamaha (I am thinking the AR210 would be best for me, I was looking at the 212s but would prefer to save the money for a stereo upgrade and some waterspouts equipment (Tubes and Wakeboards) I am interested in purchasing my first boat.
