My 2008 SX230HO is still a show stopper. $32K new, including trailer. Haven’t had an issue with either engine
Love my 2021 AR195. Best recreational purchase I have ever made. Have had it for 2 seasons now and looking forward to putting it back in the water in a few weeks. Perfect size for me and my wife with plenty of room for guests as well. Great channel, you have lots of great boating tips here.
Excellent! Glad to help and to be accepted by this community!
Nice. I'm just getting started in boating. I need to learn everything. I had no idea what I wanted for a boat. A buddy's recommendation from previously owning a 2004 SX230 has helped me make up my mind. I want a Yamaha jet boat! 242LTD S is the way im leaning.
Cool comparison and great information. Thanks
Excellent video Will with some serious production quality. Love the confidence in showcasing the older vessel as is..
Keep it going!
Thanks Cap! Means alot coming from a stand up guy like you!
I still have my all original 98 Exciter 270 with matching trailer....knock on wood she's been rock solid! And hits 65mph with ease
Such great boats!

Thank you!
Would love to see a video of those two boat under way to compare the difference that the hull has on the wake.
Excellent video
Uhggg - Ive had my '04 230 for many years, and while I've got a lot of nice mods and love the boat, I should NOT have watched this video!!!
Lol
Great video. Especially for the old school boaters who say jetboats are hard to maneuver (my family 😅). I love my 2019 AR240. Thanks for the video Will.
You're welcome!
Fantastic video. Nice to see how they have evolved over the years.
Thanks!
Love our 2020 212X! Absolutely fun boat. Especially since we modified the steering
Excellent glad to hear
Love my AR240 with the JBP lateral thrusters and thrust vectors!
Awesome, thanks for the feedback!
Renting a Yamaha AR-250 next month. Super excited. It will be my largest and fastest boat and first time on a jet platform. Can’t wait to give it a try but for a future purchase, I think I am already hooked!
Such a great boat! You'll love it!
Awesome video Will! Had an '07 AR230 for three years then got a brand new '16 242 Limited S E-Series in red. What an improvement. The '07 definitely took more skill to maneuver at slow speeds and made jumping right into the '16 so easy. Sold that boat after 3 years of ownership and have recently been looking at the 275SD. I think it could be the perfect boat for the coastal waters here in Pensacola with a little more weight, length, and width. May jump into one soon..
Definitely a big step up from the 24
Great video- loved my 242 limited. Tempted again….
These boats are so great!! We love our Jets!
I have a 2006 AR230. It's in great shape and runs excellent. You pointed out the differences but my AR230 gets the job done. I live near the Colorado River and a jet boat is the only way to go. Keep making these videos. I love to see what is new on the market.
Will do! Thanks!
I have a 2006 AR230 as well. Love it. It has never let me down (with the exception of the fuel gauge...when it finally moves off full, there is about 7 gallons of fuel left).
Awesome!
Trying to sell my very good pontoon and get an AR 190.. all I need.. I like the big of pontoons.. but like better the
easy to work with Yamaha boats. Very simple too like the outboard toon.
Looking at the 2024 222S, coming from a traditional inboard. Concerned about skiing behind the 222S, can you offer insight about the experience vs a traditional inboard ??
We own a 2009 ar230 and a just about new ar240 .i have to say i like the ar230 better and the swim platforn on the older 230 is just a nicer design
Awesome video!!!
I would love to see you get an old Exciter and review it.
That would be fun! My first boat was an LS 2000
@@JetBoatPilot I didn’t know what the LS 2000 was. Looks like an Exciter. What were the differences? You are and old school Yamaha jet boat fan. So awesome!!!
@johnrossi6212 it was a larger version made from 1998-2005 in various forms. It was smoky and loud but it screamed and was super maneuverable at speed! It was a blast as long as it was running!
@@JetBoatPilot so cool. I will have to try and find some videos on it.
You should do a history on the older stuff. Like the Sea Saucer and the MJ-650M.
Those things are so cool and I can’t really find any info on them.
I love your channel.
@johnrossi6212 if we could find one we'd do it for sure! Thanks!!
Honestly I like the simplicity of my 2007 AR230. I could have bought a new one but I like the idea of working on my own stuff and less electronics on the water to me is a good thing as water and electricity don’t mix well

Hey Will, great video. As you know i have that exact same 2006 boat and still use it. It looks in about the same condition as the one in you video. I do applaud Yamaha for all the innovations they have made but with that comes another set of issues that I don t know if its good or bad. My boat in 2006 was $29500 out the door from Miami boat show. Today the cost of these boats is over triple and beyond, stopping me from investing in one. My 06 is simple tech today compared to the new but I feel all the tech wrapped up into that display that basically controls the entire boat is an area for a major concern and expense in the long run. Will if function in 10-15 years? What does these kind of electronics cost to replace in the future, being all analog on the 2006 these products in my opinion are more reliable and easier to replace, I'm going on 20 years, I have had issues with engines and salt water even though I flush religiously, this is a product of the MR-1 cooling design which thankfully Yamaha has taken care of in the newer boats. I know technology is unstoppable and Yamaha has done the best job of innovating, these boats are way more capable then the old generations. I pay close attention the the entire line up of Yamaha water craft and though I will probably never own a brand new Yamaha boat do to cost, I do still feel proud every time I am in mine and around people. My 2006 has been the greatest boat I have ever owned and I Thank Yamaha for the countless hours I have spent with my children growing up and the great times I have gotten to spend with my wife enjoying this boat now I am using it with my grand children for more memories, though I'm sure they would appreciate all the new tech the new boats have. I watch all your videos and am proud of you for how far you have brought Jetboat Pilot since the boat bling days. Continue the great work and if I ever do get a new Yamaha boat you will be one of the first to hear.
Wait till you see what we have coming up next! We have partnered with a leading industrial cleaning products company and have formulated the holy grail of all cleaning products which will be a game changer for the marine industry, but for any other cleaning application! We can't wait to show it off to the community! Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you still love your Yammie!
Can you tell me what color the 3D registration numbers are? Slate gray over black? Almost looks solid gray. I’d like to order the same ones. Thank you.
I think that is slate Gray over black
Can you compare the Seadoo switch vs other more typical jetboats?
Possibly, yes
I have never owned a ski boat. What are those black fork looking things on the rear structure and what is their purpose?
Are you referring to the rudders? If you are those are called Thrust Vector and are designed to give additional control and steering responsiveness at low speeds.
On the 222XD, does the depth gauge rely on an onboard depth sounder, or on chart data?
On board

@JetBoatPilot just bustin your balls brother. Get me some wacker paste...
@alanwoodwind5265 lol, we don't sell it as a stand alone product. It comes with 4 packs of Spark Plugs.
What were those weird ancient hunks of metal hanging off of the 230's jets?
Obsolete technology
