Yamaha 255 FSH Sport H (2024) Test & Features Review | BoatTEST

[@mtnman1]

I’m obsessed with this boat, no clue how I’m going to be able to afford it though. lol.

[@BoatTEST]

We love it also!

[@mattgauvin7842]

I hear a lot of people talk poorly of the FSH series but anyone who owns them loves it. You can’t find many on the used market. I’m between a 25ft used Robalo or a new FSH 255 sport H. Can’t make a decision

[@payakadventures]

TRIP!! Great to see ya on here! That thing sure is a beaut. Long way from the kayak fishing days.

[@Harikarikillboy-fs5vl]

When did ya get this reviewing gig Trip?

[@elmoocher]

I’m still debating. I have the same hull on the wake series, but my concern would be how it would do in heavy chop. That bow looks like you could stuff it quite easily is sporty conditions. I think it may also be too light for offshore.

[@bearclub8334]

I also have the 255 wake. This hull is slightly different, but not sure if it makes much of a difference.

[@mattgauvin7842]

It’s a 100k fully loaded with electronics and trailer and people are upset it doesn’t come with trolling motors and armrests 🤦

[@MrPepperoni16]

@@mattgauvin7842 this is a thing of beauty. I think the FSH Sport H is the top of the line, so really, anything under this line of boats is fantastic and a value steal under 100k

[@bearclub8334]

It’s a 115k.

[@ers-ve2mx]

I live in the Florida keys. Would this be a good boat to go to the sandbar with the family. I don’t really fish but would like to go out with the fam and hang out at the sandbars around here. I would have it in a lift over the canal in my house.

[@BoatTEST]

Yes, absolutely! This boat is perfect for that. You can customize it to what you like, and what you need.

[@keithdavighi]

A nice add for this boat would be a windlass anchor. Otherwise it seems like a great solution for fishing and family. Also do those fresh and raw water outlets have covers? Seems like you might run into them if they stick out like that all the time.

[@fenkellmoney8034]

Omg I want this boat 😫😫😫❤️🔥🔥

[@jersey1946]

This is a very good review! Thanks.

[@BoatTEST]

thanks for watching! Read more here on the 255 FSH: boattest.com/boats/yamaha/255-fsh-sport-h-2024

[@DanielGrows]

Helmaster on a jetboat is crazy. They already handle good without it.

[@MrPaxel14]

What is raw water?

[@itr0863]

i would love to get this due to the rear swim platform but not being able to keep it in salt water for 3-4 days on a fl keys week trip is a dealbreaker for me. i mean i guess you would just have to trailer it out more often to flush the engines but that sounds like a hassle if you have a dock or boat slip

[@mvcharisma]

There are shutoff valves that you can install on the raw water intake side so you can close off the raw water intake, and use the flushing ports while flushing the engines in a marina. I do this on my Yamaha, there are videos on KZbin on how to install them. Parts are under $50

[@itr0863]

@@mvcharisma thank you!!!!

[@mroudi]

Why can't you keep it in the water? It's built for salt water. 3-4 days wont be a concern at all

[@usqloft8533]

you can absolutely keep it in salt water. some do 30 days in water take out salt away flush power wash hull. it's fine. as long as your using it and it's not just sitting.

[@bearclub8334]

Is there a way to upgrade the helm seat with some arm rests? Also, the brown interior is so old looking....

[@leo14t]

Hi can you tow this boat with F150 2WD?

[@SteerlytePlus]

Awesome Boat

[@charlesab]

Trip dip ?

[@adventurekris6861]

is the hull still hollow ? filled?

[@1973superdad]

No trolling motor or power poles, otherwise looks great. What's the draft. I own a jet boat and prop boat. I love the jet the most. No worried about hitting things with prop, safer for kids.

[@dayanmederos6564]

2024..? Where are the twin 1.9L HO engines ?

[@hottub2609]

On the 252 FSH

[@MustangTTGT]

I Have the 2024 252 with the 1.9’s. They are very smooth and don’t seem to be as loud as the outgoing 1.8’s. Still not fully broken in yet and I hit 47mph with 70% fuel and two adults and 2 kids. Been a great boat so far.

[@bmohre4784]

What happened to the fuel consumption numbers?

[@BoatTEST]

Due to technical difficulties we couldn't get the data- but plan to update our model page once we get them. Sorry about that, but will reach out once we get a chance to get back on the boat.

[@Tevon93]

My guess is they intentionally left it out because the SVHO engines in this boat drink fuel. It’s probably around 1.8 mpg at best cruise and that’s being generous.

[@CoreySheehan]

@@Tevon93 bahaha and 1.8 is bad?

[@johnpoole2325]

I can’t seem to find fuel info on the 255 FSH sport H w/the superchargers. Someone mentioned on another review that it requires higher octane gas? Not concerned about price, but more so availability on smaller lakes. Is something over 90 ethanol free gas required?

[@johnpoole2325]

For those who see this and are interested, manual clearly states 91 octane pump rating on the 255.

[@mojo2131]

Well you don't show the range at best cruise .

[@trxntroll843]

When using the joystick will the boat move laterally evenly?

[@robertstevens6750]

Yes.
