Yamaha 222XD Test Video 2023 by BoatTEST.com

[@carguyeyedoc]

Cool boat but the price on these things is getting out of hand. Just a few years ago you could get Yamaha’s bigger 242x (now 255x) for the same price. This one probably has better tech features but still…

Great review I miss Capt Steve but you did him proud. Beautiful boat

[@austinw638]

What happened to Captain Steve?

[@mbwilson2625]

Oh come on, I'm sure Captain Steve is a pro surfer. 🤣🤔😎

[@hines862009]

When will yamaha add adjustable trim?

[@Jcross17]

What is the difference between wake edition and regular? Ive never owned a boat and Im looking at yamaha as a first time boater.

[@TKxVeritas]

@Jcross17 hey just ran across your comment. Wake edition has ballast bags that take in water to weigh the boat down and get you a better/bigger wake. The XD version It also has the same tech package as the SD non-wake equivalent, as well as a unique color scheme.

[@charlessanders1342]

I figured top speed would be higher with a combined 360 horsepower but the tested weight was up there.

[@romanti4424]

How did Yamaha managed to drop mpg to 2.1 from 3.1 on older models?.. Price goes up and mpg goes down is new yamaha logo

[@hectorlatorre8578]

Nice

[@paolofreda2794]

Please correct the technical details... 22 ft is around 6 meters.. not 18... :)

[@georgedoolittle9015]

Pure BEV just entering this the World's largest Boating Market but specifically Florida only right now.

[@DrJoel-is3uy]

My complaint is top speed is slow I have a 195s and I love it but it’s too slow for what they cost 255xd is fastest I think but double the cost

[@itr0863]

how maintence on these in purely salt water application? i heard they can't be in the water for more than 3-4 days

[@carguyeyedoc]

Im no expert but Ive seen similar things to what you said. IMO if I were in a saltwater-only area, Id skip it and get something with a reliable Yamaha OB. Unless your sole intention is to use it as a surf boat, in which case there are many better options (used) for the same price that throw a much bigger wave.

[@itr0863]

@@carguyeyedoc thank you so much. i was thinking exactly the same. i love the rear seating area for entertaining etc, but i have no problem looking for just a traditional OB for your exact reasons. i live in north florida. i was looking at key west and robalos in the 18-23 ft range.

[@DanO530.8]

How much is it 18 thousand dollars

[@hines862009]

R.I.P. captain Steve

[@dreed7312]

What's that mean? What happened to Capt Steve???

[@dreed7312]

Your numbers make no sense. 22' is not 18.58 meters. 18.5 meters is closer to 60' than 22. All of your metric dimensions are way off.

[@carlfichtner8148]

First ! Always great reviews !

[@darthkek1953]

If you're not using a remote kill switch (not just for the pilot, but for everyone) then I don't know what to tell you other than to very, very quickly evolve gills.

[@jesterjala8221]

[@HoosierThrottle]

Yeah, except they are nothing alike. Other than they are both boats. 🤣
