I’ve watched til for years for all my truck info.. I recently got into the boat world and would have loved some reviews before hand. Even if I don’t own one,I love knowing about what’s out there. Keep em coming please! It helps in planning my next purchase. Thank you
I love TFL for trucks and jeeps, now it looks like ill be loving you guys for boats. Keep it up but please keep it realistic. What i mean is that while watching reviews of $100k+ yachts is fun im more interested in what i can afford.
@@08LVB i guess i should have been more clear when i said that. I meant it as in keep it real like this, as tfl has a tendency to do it with super expensive stuff. I know this one is affordable as im actually looking to buy its bigger sister the 24 footer in $50k range. This was my fault for not being clear on that and thank you for pointing it out
Great review! Very in-depth information. Beautiful little boat. Style, performance and feature packed. Wonder how it would perform with some additional weight in it like six passengers? Anyway keep the boat reviews coming! Week done. Chris
Great review. I’m looking to snag a lightly used ‘21 195S and this was great. Obviously some small differences between the AR195 and 195S but great regardless.
We are looking at purchasing a Yamaha,viewed many different reviews yours was definitely one of the best, keep up the good work and keep doing boat reviews, really find your truck reviews very informative
Great video! I am about to buy this boat in a few months. I am a first time boater. Do you have videos that show the proper launch and recover from shore/trailer?
Thinking about trading my brand new Scarab 165 in for an AR195 or SX195. I like the 165 but it gets awful GPH and that supercharged 300 sucks the fuel down no matter if you're going 65 or 30. They really should've given it a bigger fuel capacity than 20 gallons. And there's just no room lol. I barely fit in the helm and I'm at the gym 4 days a week. I made a terrible purchase.
I love my 2017 ar195, I’ve had its since 2019. I could fit 10 people if the law allowed. I can spend 2.5- 3 days on the lake on one tank of gas, that’s doing 30% water sports with a full boat.
svho on a jetski would be 65 and in a boat like this it's 50. The twin tr1's are similar on the 2020. 30-40 is what I like, usually closer to 30 - good gas and if you hit a bad wake you don't fly out, which is good when you got kids and stuff in the boat.
i've always wondered something about Yamaha Marine. They're know for making some of the most rock solid outboard boat engines in the business...yet they don't sell any boats that feature their outboards?!?!?
Awesome review. Generally speaking, how shallow can the AR195 safely operate? My docking area depth is about 30" on average and can get down to 22". I want to make sure I get a boat with plenty of draft clearance.
Great vid👍coming into Spring here in Australia would love do some water activities n this boat is not bad value, affordable n nice size, features. Thanks Yamaha for demo of boat👍
Same man, unfortunately they don’t make the 2020’s in that color anymore which I think is the best part, so you’ll have to look for a used model or an unsold 2019 which is what I’m hoping for. I got to test drive one and it was amazing
@@sarahann530 the SX195 does have a supercharger, the SX190, And AR190 do not. thats the big difference between the 190 and 195. the SX/AR denotes a wake board tower
Great review - I am looking to buy my first boat and feel the AR195 would be a good family fit - However, most of our boating would be on the Gulf Coast being from Sarasota - My question is, are Jet boats the best option for ocean use? or would your recommend and outboard if so what would be an equivalent with same level of performance
I'm from Sarasota that boat will be great for the bay also manatee river. Theres also a bunch of guys on the jetboaters forums who get together and run fort Lauderdale to the Bahamas and back welcome to the club!!!
I have one of these in the Gulf . Like all Bow Riders they have their limits and can porpoise on you . Maybe more so than other small bow riders because they are designed to keep the bow down. It is a great all round boat especially for kids and water sports .
I have this boat added thrust vectors from jetboatpilot.com handles much better at slow speed for docking and trailering. Once you install them you'll come to find out how the articulated keel is a joke.
Are you sure the Cruise Assist increases/decreases the speed by 1mph with each increment? On the older models Cruise Assist raises/lowers the engine speed by100 RPM, i.e. it's not associated with the actual speed fo the boat.
to an extent. i rode in my buddies 19ft FSH from ft lauderdale to bimini, BUT the conditions were near perfect. its doable but conditions gotta be good or else its tough.
This boat is in the $35-40k range us dollars. There are several new/nicer boats in the $60-80k range that run 50-60mph. If you want 60+ it would probably be a used powerboat. Not uncommon to find used high horsepower brands like Donzi, Fountain, Baja, ect. that can run 70+mph.
Any jet boat this large needs twin engines. Especially since the same engine is in the much smaller wave runners; it’s just too much weight for the power.
To be a bit more descriptive, boats that have inboard engines are always sealed off in a compartment so that they can offer more seating and also to keep engine noise down. It's not like the hood of a car though, because the engine compartment of a car is open to the air underneath (boats are not due to needing to float) and the hood is not water/air sealed either on a car. This means that any fuel vapor/fumes that a boat engine or fuel lines emit will not easily escape the compartment, and can build up in that compartment. When you crank the starter motor over to start the boat, if the engine compartment is full of fumes, you will have a nasty explosion. Think about it like opening the propane valve on your gas grill at home, but leave the grill lid closed, wait 5 minutes, then use the striker. Would you want to do that? Same thing with a boat. A blower is a fan that helps pull fresh air into the engine compartment, and push out stale air and fuel vapor in that air. As a general rule, a blower should be ran for a few minutes BEFORE attempting to start a boat that has an inboard engine, and should be left on while the engine is running.
Just curious, what model Tahoe? everything I'm seeing for a Tahoe has a max speed around 41 MPH. Got a video of doing it? That's with the I/O 3.0. Can't find anything on an outboard 115.
Top speed is a big disappointment 49 with 1 person, not good. I was thinking 70 prior to the run. My family boat 20' Glastron with a cuddy cabin would do 60 with 900 lbs of people onboard with a 350 chevy motor.
You’re comparing a boat with a v8 vs a small displacement 4 cylinder, of course it’s gonna be faster. The four cylinder is gonna be a lot cheaper on your wallet when filling up though
I have an older version of this boat. Your 350 is a 5.7 litre motor, this boat has a 1.8 litre motor. Big difference. I agree it is a bit under powered at times and could use more motor. But how often do you go over 45 miles per hour anyway? My average speed with my boat is between 12 and 22 mph pulling the kids on tubes and knee boards. Works pretty good about 90% of the time. The amount of space for a 19 foot boat is the best feature of it.
I doubt it. I have a 21' Carrera that had a Volvo 290A when I bought it. The top speed was about 45 on GPS. The boat speedometer said 60. I repowered with a blown 383 stroker with the same outdrive. I got it up to about 55. I just put a 525SC. 600 HP and put a bravo one outdrive with a raised x-dimension and captain's call exhaust. I should be able to run in the mid 80's. A 20' boat that is heavier than mine with a 350 and 900lbs of passengers doing 60? Nah.
Like these reviews. Points to add: what about flotation, is the engine cooling raw water, what is the draft. I live on the coast, so would be using in salt water and bays/ocean. Also please use the term "helm" for boats not "driver".
It is a Yamaha jetski engine, it is only available in raw water cooling. Appaidies not do too bad in salt if flushed. Draft is about just shy of 2 feet but need 3 feet of water under the boat not to suck crap into impeller.
I have this boat. Draft is 14" per yamaha website. We frequently pass through areas of the river that are 1.5' deep and sometimes a little less. Great all around family boat!
to get the top speed you might want to be thinner. Smart when the power goes out and there is no food you will last 2 weeks longer my bicycle goes faster than that overweighted boat
Cheap pile of crap. It’s not a boat that you can own and expect it to last a long time. Then again it’s a 19ft Yamaha you can’t expect much to begin with
Jeremy Walls not sure what you own but I’d rather own my cheap yammie and be on the water than on my couch... that must be why 2000 Yamaha LS 2000 boats are still selling for near 10k at 20 yrs of age

I like to see you at speed and then crank the wheel hard over like you're going back to cover a downed skier. Let's see how hard it turns/skips.
We are looking at purchasing a Yamaha,viewed many different reviews yours was definitely one of the best, keep up the good work and keep doing boat reviews, really find your truck reviews very informative
Great review. I’ve never heard anyone call the bow a nose, is that a Canadian thing?
Super review.... you hit on so many things and even reported the negatives. Thanks.
Great review! You actually covered a lot of things the other reviews I've seen didn't touch on, so I appreciated that.
Great video! I am about to buy this boat in a few months. I am a first time boater. Do you have videos that show the proper launch and recover from shore/trailer?
Only review where I've seen the actual MPG (2.4, woa), and the lights at night.
When you made that turn at 2:04, why did you need a stunt double?
I just got the ar190 2022. It’s bad ass.
I love the Yamaha wakeboats they look super nice!
seen lots of reviews on this boat.....this is the best one!
Love this channel. It is TFLoffroad after all, the sxs content is fantastic, but off.....road includes water too.

Yes I like the boat reviews and would like to see more
Awesome review. Generally speaking, how shallow can the AR195 safely operate? My docking area depth is about 30" on average and can get down to 22". I want to make sure I get a boat with plenty of draft clearance.
Put it in no wake mode. Bump it up twice and then kick it in and out of gear. That’s how you maneuver at low speed with this boat
Low speed maneuvering is VERY HARD with these boats!

Nice boat man! Can this size of boat be tow with Toyota Rav4? Does that jet boat need oil change? Sorry I'm new in boating hobby.

Come back here and give us your thoughts on it after u get it
Yes more boat reviews please. How about the sx195 and the 21ft models as well.
pretty sure the sx195 is exactly the same at the ar195 minus the wakeboard tower

Nice. Does it have any canopy?
Excellent Review!
I do like jet boats, but how much $? I remember when they where a grand a foot, boy those day are gone.
Price was shown towards the beginning of the video...
I just pick up my 2020 AR190. $36k was the damage.
@@JR-qq8xj how do you like your 190? What is your top speed?
More boat reviews!
anyone own one? is buying a used one(5-8 years old) a good idea? are they reliable?
The articulating keel came out in 2016
You need to review wake surfing boats.
Great review!
Are you sure the Cruise Assist increases/decreases the speed by 1mph with each increment? On the older models Cruise Assist raises/lowers the engine speed by100 RPM, i.e. it's not associated with the actual speed fo the boat.
That is at least how it works on PWC's, and this is the same drive train so I would think you are right.
It is the RPM and not the MPH. I have the SX 195 version of the boat he's reviewing.
Can you try to do a Yamaha 212x please.
Y A M A H A = for the win !!! Nice floater!!!
More boat reviews! Pontoon!
For how long do you think these boats could sit in a marina in salt water?
Diogo Ressurreição they’re rated for saltwater according to their website.
The best days of a boat owners life....the day he gets it.....the day he gets rid of it
I can only agree if you are getting rid of one to buy one that's bigger :)
3 years owning one and never regret it . Buy a good reliable one and it’s worth every penny
Is the AR195 motor adequate with 4-5 adults on the boat? I have friends who think the boat would be underpowered with 4-5 adults on it. Thoughts?
my neighbor has one and we've had 6 adults on it with no issues, but with towing, it starts to feel underpowered. it all depends on usage.
So I’m looking at a 2018 196xp same boat as ar without ski tower is it calm ocean capable?
to an extent. i rode in my buddies 19ft FSH from ft lauderdale to bimini, BUT the conditions were near perfect. its doable but conditions gotta be good or else its tough.
The “bow” lol
Is there performance motor parts for the motor
Do some basic pontoon boat reviews, nothing too fancy or expensive.
Should use gps for speed.
Great review!! What is the fastest boat in the 60-80k range? Something that size is good. This one just seems too slow
This boat is in the $35-40k range us dollars. There are several new/nicer boats in the $60-80k range that run 50-60mph. If you want 60+ it would probably be a used powerboat. Not uncommon to find used high horsepower brands like Donzi, Fountain, Baja, ect. that can run 70+mph.

@@joemomma707 70+ on the water is fast as hell. Unless you're on big water and smooth conditions it is hard to do. That said, SUPER fun!

What's the cost of this Yamaha jet boat 195
The 2020 I did numbers ok n today is about 40k out the door . I'll be at 37k ish for a loan at 312 a month
The correct term for “ nose” is bow
Do the AR190
i have this boat
What was the blower switch for?
Gasoline vapor and boats can be a bad combination. Blower before starting engine after fueling keeps you from blowing up.
To be a bit more descriptive, boats that have inboard engines are always sealed off in a compartment so that they can offer more seating and also to keep engine noise down. It's not like the hood of a car though, because the engine compartment of a car is open to the air underneath (boats are not due to needing to float) and the hood is not water/air sealed either on a car.

can this 19' fit in a standard garage?
if you keep it on a trailer and you consider a standard garage being 22ft or more in length, you can do it.
