so no livewell?? no rear storage? so much for a review.

You also want to make sure everyone on the boat is in their seats BEFORE starting the engine

How do you open the lid is it just a hard ouch a have the GP1800r a have to hold it up a think am just sceard to push it all the way up lol

there is no dry storage on that whole boat the worst

We owned one of these boats, same configuration. We really enjoyed it. Quality boat and a lot of fun, exceptionally maneuverable once you learn the jet steering. Shallow draft and no prop made it a great choice for our family with very young kids. Lots of seating for a 20' boat, really loved the port side seat that converted from a flat bench, forward, or rear facing. Wish Chapparal still made this boat, much better quality than the Yamaha's, but opinions were mixed on the Rotax engine.

Is that an ocean or lake ,fresh or salt water?

Im so confused! I have a 2021 195s and the turning is terrible! Fast speeds into a turn -> lose power. I cant bop a single person off a tube. Low speeds into sharp turn -> lose power! Wont rip it! What you were dojng in your video...i dont get it! Is something wrong with my boat you think? Or did you really have the good classic "this jet boat can turn on a dime experience" with this?

I love this freaking boat! Love it! I bought a 2015 Yamaha AR 190 with 300 hrs on it this summer and we have run the heck out of this little beauty. It is an awesome boat. I owned a Sea Ray 240; no one slept on it, no one used the bathroom; no one wanted to ski, too bulky. I sold and bought a Sea Ray 270 SLX; sexy as hell, bitchin 496 HO engine, to bulky, no one wanted to ski, no one ever used the head, ate gas. Sold it and bought the Yamaha. Best decision every. Everyone loves to ski on it. No problem going for an hour cruise for a dinner destination and running an hour back. Nimble, quick AND super easy to maintain! Love the boat, love the decision to put my fat ego aside and go with a boat that really fits our needs.

Hello my name is Dakota I am currently a worker at Apex Marines I work on the line and I build doors and walls and I also install them, this video is very helpful for me for my work! Now only to see where the struts are at on the walls but also the quality of the boats see what I can do better to improve my work! Thank you so much for showing this video

I think this is the 2017 lol

And how is your sea ark? I own a couple of lund boats and they are super good quality though very expensive. There are so many other good brands that are good but less expensive. I'm a riveted guy, as I don't like cracks in my boat. A lose rivet is one thing, a cracked weld is a whole other thing. A sure way to drain your bank account rapidly is to buy a poorly constructed welded boat. You'll waste thousands of dollars and then metal will just weaken over time. Rivets flex under stress, welds don't. Airplanes use rivets and not welds for a very good reason.

But very nice video. You look amazing

Also, trim all the way down when going downstran and trim it down when riding a cross wind, though you should always cross wind at a 45 degree angle, pragmatically speaking. However, in any case, too much trim can lead to porpoising and could swamp or capsize your vesel. Plz be safe. I've been boating all my life and love to help people out.

There is not much wind, but you might want to trim the engine up a bit in order to maximize fuel efficiency and have a smoother ride, ultimately. I noticed you were pounding some of the inor chop, but you can go over that much easier with the engine trimmed up a notch or two. Every boat posesses it's own sweet spot with the trim.

Trimming out too much on plane can also cause the prop to suck air

2022 195xts is the worst boat i have ever own cheap cheap cheap sorry built rod lockers childs zebco maybe all lockers wet batterys in blidge the worst call nobody to talk to but woman with PMS

Seaark paint sucks And there's no room in the boat with the windshield mounted in the middle

Found a great deal on one is it possible to take this boat out to the ocean atleast not to far out or atleast the marinas?

Very good and simple explanation. Thank you.

Say what?

I hope someone learned something...don't yank on your gear shifter

Miss the prices from when this video came out; pre covid.

What top end were you getting with that 200hp.. thanks

What top end speed were you getting with that 200hp?

Best boat ever!!!

very cool. ty

The YEAR would help in your title!!

Now that is a win i will pray for your recovery.Cancer bits the big 1

Very useful

Nagyon tetszik!

Can you order it with out that ugly ladder?

Very very nice. Marry me, and maybe at least one of us will be happy!

My tidewater 2021 1910 bay max is way better ,sorry...😁

Price?

This boat is definitely a 2020

Horsepower? How much horsepower does it have

I usually just trim nose up until it starts to porpoise a bit, then lower the bow until it stops.

Excellent review, I just saw these at our local boat show. Great price for newbies.

Why not include the horsepower?

I’ve always heard good things about excels but they were older ones

I just saw this boat pass by. It didn’t look like it had room for two engines.

And buy extra deep cycle battery for emergency cause run battery down or run gas cause got lost dale hollow in Tennessee it all looks same if didn't have GPS would never made back to marina or boat ramp see why dad never went fishing there took 6 hours drive there from north carolina

Gas shortage dont need boat unless use dern trolling motor the whole time start motor put on trailer and drive slow conserve gas

She did not show the bole

Problem with these boats are: no toilet.

The camera man needs to be fired.

LOL this is a 2015!! If you're going to rip a video off of BoatTest, at least get it right!

Great looking rig. How about showing the tunnel? What's the MSRP?

I want that Yamaha hoodie

This is a great looking boat, if you have the chance to do a walk around of the entire boat that would be great! I was just in Waco last week duck hunting with some friends of mine, and I’m an avid fisherman so I’m looking for something that can do it all! I’ll definitely come your way to pick one up!! Thanks
