Yamaha 210 FSH Sport - 1 Year Full Review and Walk-through!!!

[@juanbolivar35]

normally a 30 mins video I skip most of the parts, but for some reason watching the whole video was super relaxing, I loved it! thanks for explaining everything, I felt this is an honest review

[@THEFSHDUDE]

Thank you I appreciate that 🤙🏼

[@VFam21]

I’m here 2 years later soaking up all this info. Thanks for an excellent review. I love your set up!

[@THEFSHDUDE]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@vogelm91]

I usually can't sit through a whole review, but I found myself watching this entire thing and taking notes. Awesome video, keep it up man!!

[@THEFSHDUDE]

Awesome, thank you!

[@aaronhammers1052]

Awesome video! I'm interested in the Yamaha or Scarab C.C. boat and their isn't anything but boat magazines and sales rep.videos. I thought you were honest and did some excellent mods to your boat. I love it. Good luck.

[@THEFSHDUDE]

Thank you, I appreciate that!

[@carlcarl9290]

Very smart, I am surprised by all the stuff that I have learned, as I am investigating before I buy my first boat. Thank you

[@THEFSHDUDE]

My pleasure 🤙🏼

[@ericgreenwald695]

Great boat and truck combo! That's my dream boat for purchase in 2024. Thank you for your service!

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@mddoit]

Great job with the video. Appreciate it very much. I was looking at these boats when they first came out. There wasn’t any dual motor ones that I can remember. Seems the way to go.

[@THEFSHDUDE]

Just enjoyed watching the video and your passion for the boat and all of the accessories really shines through. I’ve been considering purchasing this as my first venture in boating and as a novice it was really helpful. Myself included as a former Navy man may I ask what rate you were. I was a machinist mate. Thank you for your service!!

That was really good overview of your boat, you have a knack at this. I’ve have a FSH 210 and live in cape Canaveral Florida I have the same sound system as you, thanks to your video, and it sounds really nice, well great actually Also have a T~top shade system on my boat that flips bow to stern ……. will show you soon Thanks for your videos, I know they are an effort

[@THEFSHDUDE]

Thank you for the kind words and support. I try to do my best. I look forward to seeing that shade system!

[@ThaguyMike]

Thank you for the great video and your service!

[@THEFSHDUDE]

[@shanejanuszewski9428]

Looking at buying one and your videos have been really helpful. After owning it for over a year, any regrets (or wants) to have the larger, 252 or 255 model? Do you do any fishing out of it?

[@THEFSHDUDE]

I have zero regrets. It is the perfect size for myself and my passengers. This boat literally has left me wanting nothing, other than the substantial customization upgrades for my personal preferences LOL. I do fish off of it, both inshore and offshore. The casting platform is a MUST from www.jetboatpilot.com. I highly recommend this boat and even though it is only 21' (Ive owned up to 28') it is still my favorite boat. Im sure I would love the 25' version even more but for my purposes now this is the size style I wanted and needed.

[@johnnyl.stevensii3608]

Thanks! Looking at switching to Yamaha jet for next purchase. If you consider selling let me know 😉

[@THEFSHDUDE]

I definitely would but I am going to have this boat for a long time unless something drastic happens to me lol.

[@michaelkizer9826]

Really good review got some excellent ideas rom ya Thanks

[@THEFSHDUDE]

Thank you I appreciate it

[@DoyleHargraves]

For the rims: I'm in the steel business. Galvanize is not an "architectural coating", meaning it's not supposed to be pretty. It's supposed to provide a protective coating for the steel. If you want to make it pretty, you can sand blast them lightly, then have them powdercoated.

[@THEFSHDUDE]

Yup, I’m not looking for pretty. Protection is better for me. I stick with them this way.

[@UnLikeU]

Great review and great job. I'm on the fence with the 195 Sport Fsh and 210 Sport Fsh. I have a 21 foot now but it's just me. I think I may down size and go Center Console. Thanks for the review..

[@THEFSHDUDE]

My pleasure, thank you for the support 🤙🏼

[@petemcfeet28]

Great review. I am very impressed with your upgrades, improvements and accessories but a little less impressed with the boat itself. I'm sure it is a very good boat, but I'm looking for a great boat if I'm going to start spending even more cash for all of the cool gidgy gadgets and extras you've customized to your Yami. You may have inadvertently talked me into an outboard CC. Perhaps in a brand that pays a little more attention to the little details. Not to take anything away from your boat or what you have done. I'm just a little longer in the tooth and my next boat is probably going to be my last boat. I'm not sure I see an overall quality here that is going to be up to the longevity that I'm hoping for. You're still young and probably already have ideas on what you'll do different on your next vessel. You've done great things to this one and your passion comes through for sure. I would like to be able to ask you more about the specifics of your stereo system once I've made a purchase because it seems to me a lot of manufacturers charge a heck of a lot for sometimes pretty mediocre equipment. I don't mind the upcharge so long as the sound reflects what has been spent. It seems to me, you have a pretty good handle on that. Overall, an absolutely great and informative half hour. Thank you and cheers!

[@THEFSHDUDE]

My pleasure 🤙🏼

[@jpinkerton6012]

Lookin Forward to a sound test with your current audio setup. Also would like your opinion on sound quality/volume.

[@THEFSHDUDE]

I have a couple videos with live audio on my channel. Sound quality and volume is acoustically fantastic.

[@Travelerofearth1]

Do you have a video on maintenance and monthly cost for the boat

[@THEFSHDUDE]

I don’t. Feel free to ask if you have questions though. For a more one on one message me on instagram

[@rdsandy11]

See my hinge mod to fix that issue of the anchor hatch swinging the wrong way.

[@THEFSHDUDE]

Thank you for the suggestion. I already have the plan to do it, but I am waiting until my warranty runs out as I already have warranty work done on that hatch and don't want them to blame me for future issues if they arise.

[@JustMe-lm1nd]

Great Walkabout! The front table mount and sundeck. Is this an add on or something you did your self? Any info please!

Hi-Your videos have been extremely helpful and I’ve purchased almost everything already. Do you have a link for the blue wash down hose by any chance.?

[@THEFSHDUDE]

Thank you and here you go amzn.to/3vc3rbn

[@mikemilburn4313]

I have the same sound system on my 210 after watching your video review on it. I only have 2x6.5s and 2x8s with the 1000 watt amp. I noticed that the amp is killing my house battery after a short period of time (20-30 minutes of moderate volume). I have a starting battery as my house because I bought it before the stereo decision. I want to get a deep cycle battery but I need to keep in mind that it may not help me at all in rescuing my starting battery in an emergency. What did you use as a house battery? I am going to install an onboard NOCO 2 bank charger. I have seen people talking about this on Jet boat forum and the issue seems to be that the engines don't use alternators, but rather stators, to recharge our batteries. they only deliver about 30 amps back at full throttle and that could be partially getting used by the boats other electronics, like fish finders and radio etc...

[@THEFSHDUDE]

That’s correct, a start battery will not last. I run a deep cycle house and the promariner onboard battery maintainer. 2 years no issues. Play for hours at a time. Deep cycle batteries will help start if you need it to in parallel (emergency switch). The higher the amp hour the battery the better for long lasting audio. I recommend interstate marine deep cycle.

[@billydecherniss7877]

Great Review!! Looking to get the 210 in the future, coming from twin outboards, have you run the boat on one engine? I heard you have to block of the cooling line to the non-running engine, just curious if it is able to plane on one engine? Thanks

[@THEFSHDUDE]

Yes, and you are correct you must either clamp the intake water line or install a valve so that water doesn’t flood the non-running engine. You can get on plane with one engine.

[@marchanson711]

Were you able to acquire the service manuals and dealer documentation for self maintenance of the engines? I want an FSH 195 single-engine, but will not buy it unless I can perform engine maintenance. Thanks you.

[@THEFSHDUDE]

The service manuals are available online. Documentation can be done anyway you like as long as it’s noted with receipts, dates, and engine hours.

[@Mattyyahoo]

Great review I’m looking to get maybe a smaller one. What part of Florida you in? I’m on the space coast

[@THEFSHDUDE]

Gulf coast, I wouldn’t recommend the 19’ for the ocean.

[@davidbeaudette5516]

Great video!! and great setup!!. Wondering what you are using for your garbage barrel on the inside of the door. I've seen some options but yours looks to be a nice set up? Was it a kit? or did you "make" something yourself? If purchased, I'd love to see a link. Thanks again

[@layercake17]

Do you store this in a public storage or can this fit in your garage. Also wondering why you went for this and not the AR190. Just wanted to get your thoughts on it. Nice video btw!

[@THEFSHDUDE]

This can be stored in your garage with a couple bolts removed from the tower. I also went with this boat because of the functionality of a center consul over a bow rider. This is a hybrid between a bow rider and a center consul and serves multiple functions which I find value in, I also went with the 21 foot because the 19 foot was just small for the bodies of water that I use my boat in as well as the amount of people usually 5 to 8 that I have on my boat.

[@acemannw]

Awesome I have the same flags on my jet boat. I am shopping for a 210 FSH

[@THEFSHDUDE]

Great boat! I love it. Coming up on 2 years now.

[@nofameculture]

Great information 👍

[@THEFSHDUDE]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@mingji5880]

I just test drived a 195 FSH, i like the high speed handling, but feels like the control is low speed is not good, and it took the guy five times to get the boat into the trailer, I heard that you can install something to help with low speed steering, because i usually do the side scan for the dock, low speed handling is important to me, can you tell me what do you think about it?

[@THEFSHDUDE]

For low speed handling on that single engine model you will need the jetboatpilot.com thrust vectors. My dual engine has no issues with low speed maneuvering.

[@beeman8663]

Do you use this boat in salt water? I'm considering a 190 or 210 for PCB FL and wandering if seagrass is an issue in the jet drive? Thanks

[@THEFSHDUDE]

I only use mine in saltwater. I am here in Treasure Island, FL. No issues with sea grass for me in over 4 years.

[@49306Q]

I live in sw Florida how do these do in the shallows w sucking up debri seaweed ect?

[@THEFSHDUDE]

I have no issues here in the Tampa Bay Area or in the Gulf of Mexico. I sucked up a palm frond once in a year and a half of use. This was the only time I had to use my clean-out ports. But I was down for less than 3 minutes. I stopped the boat, opened the hatch, pulled the plug, grabbed the debris, and I was back on my way.

[@shawnwilson6064]

Did you have to adjust your throttle. Mine walk back in less that a minute. Want to go out a bit without having to hold the throttle constantly

[@THEFSHDUDE]

Yes, there is a throttle adjustment screw at the base of the throttle righty tighty lefty Loosey to give the throttle’s more or less tension

Glad you like the boat. Would you purchase the extended warranty on this boat?

[@THEFSHDUDE]

I absolutely recommend extended warranties. I bought the Y.E.S. one through Yamaha at the time of purchase. Like the old saying goes, especially in boating, "It is better to have it and not need it, rather than need it and not have it." Plus it is transferable.

[@josephmoran2006]

Hey man, how is servicing this boat? I have a 18’ 93 Rinker IO now. The pain in the A is I just had to replace the bellows and entire lower unit due to bad seals/water intrusion. Is this the same with the Jetboats? I want to pull the trigger but I’m hesitant because of my IO. Thoughts?

[@THEFSHDUDE]

Much easier than my IO. Minimal maintenance.

[@josephmoran2006]

[@jerrysparks3946]

What kind of range are you getting? Thanks!!

[@THEFSHDUDE]

That's all relevant to the type of boating you are doing. So many factors like wind, tides, how much gear, how many people, cruising speed, etc. I can't tell you a specific for all of those but with just me and minimal gear it performed best at a cruise around 6000 rpm at around 28mph and over 150 miles range with a 10% reserve still waiting.
