​The Yamaha AR195 Sport Boat is a true beauty on the water. This boat featured a striking red tow tower with an integrated Bimini top that folds easily for storage. As you step aboard, you'll appreciate the classic layout of the two-tiered swim platform with integrated seats - a design that Yamaha has wisely kept intact. The aft-facing seats on the well-padded swim platform are perfect for enjoying the view, and the wet storage space and easy-to-access pump cleanout access port make maintenance a breeze. With a centreline swim ladder that pulls out from underneath the platform, you can be sure that the deck remains unencumbered and safe for little ones.

​Moving up to the bow area, you'll find great space thanks in part to the side beam that is carried forward almost all the way to the bow. This creates a great open space with two forward-facing seats, and a centre aft-facing seat with a nicely padded backrest, grab handles, cupholders, and two speakers so everyone can hear the tunes.

​The engine produces a pleasing harmonic sound at all speeds. The feel behind the wheel is very predictable at any speed thanks to Yamaha's patented Articulating Keel, which also makes this jet boat easy to maneuver, especially in No Wake Mode/Cruise Assist or around the dock, the locks, or in close quarters.

The Yamaha AR195 offers two color options: a black hull with red and white graphics and a red tow tower, or a gray hull with red and black graphics and a gray tow tower. Both options come with a painted trailer with swing-away tongue. 

​Featuring an all-new deck and hull design, industry’s first color touchscreen instrumentation, and new RAM® Multi-Mount System for accessories

​HIGHLIGHTS:

• New deck design with styled gunwales is aggressive and bold.
• New RAM® Multi-Mount System easily affixes accessories such as ECOXGEAR Waterproof Wireless Bluetooth® Speakers, Garmin® Striker™ GPS Fish Finder w/ Transducer, action cameras and smartphones.
• New hull design is more comfortable, more predictable, and better for towing.
​• Series features Yamaha’s 4.3” color touchscreen Connext® instrumentation, a first in the industry.
• New electrical control functions added to include Yamaha’s Drive Control. 

​The best-selling luxury performance personal watercraft series returns with an all-new deck and hull design, the industry’s first color touchscreen instrumentation, selfdraining footwells, and an innovative multi-mount concept that makes affixing accessories to the FX a snap

​For 2019, the FX Series includes five models; the flagship FX Limited SVHO®, supercharged FX and FX Cruiser SVHO®, and normally-aspirated FX and FX Cruiser® HO.

​All-New Deck and Hull Design

​The new deck of the FX Series is aggressive and bold, featuring stylish gunwales and an entire new look that is supercar-sleek; and there is plenty of functionality to go with its masculine good looks. Starting at the bow, the forward storage compartment is larger and easier to access and now comes with a molded area for a soft cooler bag. The watertight glovebox is also larger than previous year models with plenty of room to store essentials. In all, there is 44 gallons of total storage. The footwells are ergonomically shaped that remove pooling water. There is plenty of seating room for three adult passengers, and the seat material is plush with a premium appearance worthy of a luxury watercraft of the FX’s high caliber. Moving to the stern, Yamaha designers improved the ergonomics of the rear handle, and the padded reboarding step is softer and wider for more comfort, and deeper to the waterline to make reboarding easier. This deck is especially designed for long cruises, offshore adventures, and watersports towing. The new hull design favors stability, predictability, and comfort in choppy water conditions. This hull is designed to deliver a light, nimble ride despite its size. The supercharged FX Limited, FX SVHO, and FX Cruiser SVHO feature Yamaha’s highperformance, ultra-lightweight NanoXcel® 2 material; and the normally-aspirated FX HO and FX Cruiser HO come with Yamaha’s first-generation NanoXcel®. 

The FX Series is the first personal watercraft to feature a multi-color LCD touchscreen. Yamaha’s Connext touchscreen offers more fuel usage information than before, and it even comes with Yamaha’s Drive Control for watersports towing. 
​Drive Control allows operators to program engine speeds and acceleration curves. In addition, all FXs now features a new fast-action start button that allows the user to start the engine with a quick press of the start button instead of having to hold it down.

​New RAM® Multi-Mount System to Support New Accessories

​All 2019 FX WaveRunner models now come standard with Yamaha’s new Multi-Mount System to support a new range of accessories (including RAM mounts). These accessories include a cup holder, ECOXGEAR® Waterproof Wireless Bluetooth® Speakers and Garmin® Striker™ GPS Fish Finder w/ Transducer.
The flagship FX Limited SVHO comes standard with an accessory package that includes a single-rider tube, tube inflator, tube holder, tow rope, soft sided cooler, 12V outlet, matching cover, and two fenders.
​In addition, the FX Limited features a Limited Package that includes two ECOXGEAR® Waterproof Wireless Bluetooth® Speakers, Garmin® Striker™ GPS Fish Finder w/ Transducer, and RAM® Mount Hardware. You can take the speakers with you to the beach, and the Fish Finder can be removed quickly and stowed away when not in use.

​Advanced Throttle Control Features 

On the handlebars, the entire FX line includes RiDE®, Yamaha’s dual handlebar throttle controls that deliver maximum maneuverability control moving forward or in reverse.
RiDE could not be more intuitive. The right handlebar lever is forward. The left is reverse. At speed, the left handlebar lever will also slow you down. Release both right and left levers and the watercraft is in neutral. No shifting. No gears. The only thing to think about is how much fun it is to RiDE.
​In addition to having the most advanced throttle control system on a personal watercraft, the FX line also comes with a five-position electronic trim, which allows the rider to adjust the handling characteristics of the watercraft on the fly from a looser, more playful feel to a more planted, high-performance experience. 

​Yamaha Super Vortex High Output (SVHO) Marine Engine

The FX Limited SVHO, FX Cruiser SVHO, and FX SVHO get their name from the Yamaha Super Vortex High Output marine engine that delivers more power and torque than any other Yamaha WaveRunner engine.
The SVHO engine features a high-performance intercooler, increased supercharger air intake capacity and boost, and a modified fuel injection system for increased fuel flow.
​Under the waterline, the SVHO engine is matched with a 160mm eight-vane pump for maximum thrust volume and paired it with a top loader intake grate to optimize its efficiency and hookup in rough water

​Top of Line Fit and Finish

And like all world-class luxury vehicles, the quality, craftsmanship, and overall styling are nothing less than stunning. The FX design is a combination of symmetry, balance and sleek flow made possible by Yamaha’s proprietary NanoXcel material and closed molded manufacturing process.
​This process creates smooth, exact parts every time. There are no ribs or structural inconsistencies that show through the finished product. Finally, Yamaha’s industryleading metallic paint gives the FX line a deep, luxurious look that no other manufacturer can match.

Yamaha WaterCraft Group, a division of the Yamaha U.S. Marine Business Unit, announced today that The Watercraft Journal named the Yamaha GP1800 WaveRunner as its pick for Watercraft of the Year for the second year in a row

​According to The Watercraft Journal editor Kevin Shaw, "It’s simply too hard to argue with the unparalleled success of the Yamaha GP1800 PWC – on the showroom floor and the race course."

​"Be it closed course or long distance offshore endurance racing, the lightweight, supercharged Yamaha continues as the King of the Mountain," said Shaw. "And its success carried on beyond the race track to the showroom floor as the third highest selling personal watercraft of 2018." 

​Powered by Yamaha's 1.8L SVHO marine engine and riding on Yamaha's proprietary NanoXcel 2 high-performance hull, the Yamaha GP1800 is the most dominant race performance PWC Ski since its debut. The Yamaha GP1800 is undefeated in Pro Stock Jet Ski racing, also called the Manufacturers' Class because these PWC are the best representation of out-of-the-box performance.

​For 2019, the Yamaha GP1800 is receiving significant performance upgrades that include a newly designed intake grate and ride plate that separates the Yamaha GP 1800 from its competition even further.

​The Watercraft Journal’s “Watercraft of The Year” is the only award of its type issued within the personal watercraft industry media. Each entry is handpicked from the various models personally reviewed by The Watercraft Journal throughout the year and judged on industry impact, innovation, market reception, and other attributes.

​Yamaha’s 19-foot FSH Series of center console jet boats also see a complete overhaul with a new hull and deck, and the addition of several new features and technology to meet the needs of customers living in coastal and select interior states.

​The bow has been reimagined to include storage compartments that are larger, and open wider than before. To help keep tackle and other essentials organized, Plano® tackle trays are integrated into the new portside mini-pod storage compartment, and on the starboard side, the mini pod opens into a huge storage area. These padded mini pods also serve as convenient ingress and egress points. 

​With the addition of four flush mount rod holders on the deck, there are a total of 14-rod holders across the boat. The Sport version adds four more rocket launcher rod holders on the t-top.

​Also included is Yamaha’s 4.3” touchscreen Connext® control system featuring a brand new user interface in 2019, and conveniently-placed rocker switches for Yamaha’s No Wake Mode™ and Cruise Assist, along with the bilge, horn, and other vital functions. 

​A new design feature that makes the deck layout more usable are removable backrests for the port and starboard jump seats. These backrests can be quickly and easily stowed away, opening access to the stern. In addition, the livewell is larger and relocated forward for easier access from more areas of the boat.

​The transom area on the 190 FSH is unlike any other center console boat on the market. Since the engine and drive train are mounted within the hull, the entire back of the boat is open for unobstructed casting, towing and enjoying activities on the back of the boat. 

​“This new 19-foot platform is a game changer for this size of boat and offers the feel and space of a much larger boat,” said Mike Ricciardi, Yamaha’s product planning manager. “We rethought the design from the ground up and matched our concepts with customer research into how they use our boats to create the most functional and efficient design we’ve yet to offer in this segment.”

​The industry’s best-selling highperformance runabouts return in 2019 with upgraded top-loader intake grates and race-designed ride plates for sharper and more predictable handling in rough water. The new intake grate features a foil that feeds water to the top end of the impeller to improve prop traction and keep the pump hooked up to maintain maximum thrust when turning, and in rough water. 

​The new race designed ride plate is longer to reduce bow rise when accelerating quickly. The planning surface is angled slightly for just the right amount of rocker to give the GP1800R the right riding attitude for optimum top speed. Also, the edges of the planning surface help the GP1800R track straighter at higher speeds. 

​For 2019, Yamaha is taking the VXR to the next level with similar performance upgrades to the intake grate and ride plate like the GP1800R, along with the addition of a NanoXcel 2 hull that significantly reduces overall weight. 

​“With the 2019 performance upgrades, we took designs that were proven on the race course by the best riders in the world, and made it something customers can get right out of the box,” said Watkins. “The result is a whole new character to these WaveRunners, that recreational riders and racers alike will find fuels their desire for ultra high performance experiences on the water with unbelievable handling.”

​Yamaha WaterCraft Group, today introduced its 2019 WaveRunner line that includes a ground-up redesign of the luxury FX Series, an all-new entrylevel, high-performance EX model, and major performance upgrades for the race-ready Yamaha GP1800R and VXR.

​The products were unveiled at the annual dealer meeting being held in San Diego, CA, where Yamaha also set out its strategy to remain the fastest-growing personal watercraft brand in the industry. 

​“Personal watercraft sales were strong this summer, and we exceeded expectations across the board, selling out of several of our most popular models,” said Br yan Seti, Yamaha WaterCraft’s general manager. “ With this product introduction that highlights many new features and technologies never seen before in the industr y, we expect to build on our momentum and continue to bring customers the best experiences on the water.” 

​For 2019, Yamaha’s 19-foot runabouts and center console models return with an all-new deck and hull design that is 3” longer and 2” wider than previous year models. With the added space, Yamaha engineers reimagined passenger flow from bow to stern to create the most spacious, most comfortable experience ever in a 19-foot boat. Port and starboard seating in the cockpit is roomier than previous year models allowing taller passengers to stretch out more comfortably.

​To maximize space and efficiency, a new area aft of the captain’s chair provides seating with extra leg room, a storage area for cooler, and a table mount. Spin the captain’s chair around and the cockpit of the 190 and 195 series transforms into the perfect entertaining area.

​Under the waterline, the longer, wider hull is designed for added comfort too, favoring characteristics that reduce bow rise when accelerating, and hull packing when operating in choppy water conditions.

​One of the favorite features of all Yamaha boats is Yamaha’s signature stern lounge area and swim platform that sits just above the waterline. For 2019, the swim platform is larger with integrated beverage holders, perfect for hanging out at your favorite cove. Other significant improvements included a new V-shaped reverse bucket that enhances handling when in reverse, a redesigned Articulating Keel that reduces drag, and new corrosion resistance coating to protect the jet pump and surrounding driveline parts.

Yamaha has made technological advancements that improve your overall experience in the Wake. There excited to introduce the all-new Yamaha Wakebooster, part of the new optional Wakesurf package. Easily attachable to either side of jet boat, the Yamaha Wakebooster "scoop" water toward the center line. The result is a larger, cleaner wake with a nice curl and deeper pocket.
