Gorgeous boat!!! Love the color scheme...very classy and elegant. 25’ is a great size. Congratulations to the new owner!
Thank you! Loving it so far! Nice upgrade from the 19 footer!
This is Captain Ken and I approve this message!
Enjoy the boat!! It’s beautiful!
Captain Ken Congrats! You bypassed the 21' and jumped up to the 25". That a big six feet of boat you added. How does it feel?
@@greggifford361 it feels perfect. At first it's overwhelming looking at it on the trailer but I'm getting used to it on the water.
Congrats on new boat.
Ps, really liked your bumpers where can I buy them.?
@@formula10011 I picked them up from West Marine. I added the sock covers as well! I'll look for the receipt to find part numbers but I these are just off the shelf items from the store...
I was all excited for you thinking you had a new boat. Congrats to Capt Ken.
Awesome drone footage, you're really with that thing.
Thanks Jason, still loving my 19 ft., does everything I need. Should I need to stretch out I’ll give Ken a call….lol.
Leon! Another great video!! The wife and I always enjoy watching your stuff! Beautiful boat Ken, enjoy it!!!
Thanks Mike!
Another great video Captain Leon, congrats on the new boat Captain Ken. Beautiful purchase!
Thank you sir, and thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing. I love these boats. Just bought an ar240 last year
Nice! I'm also thinking on trade-in my ar195 and go for the 25f. Congratulation to your friend!
do it
Great job Captain Leon!!! Best of luck to Ken!
Thanks Mike!
Congratulations to your buddy! Beautiful boat.
Awesome video! When the engine compartment opened I thought you were going to pop out of there also like you did the other compartments haha
I thought so too!
I could probably fit..lol
Congratulations Ken!
The videos are fantastic but so are you! Your passion for boating makes me want to drive home and take mine out for a cruise!
Thank you sir! You made my day.
Looks great son, keep the ice chest filled, I'll see you in July for my Long Island vacation away from the Florida heat. There's nothing better than day on the GSB, clams on the half shell and ice cold beer. (thanks Leon, great job on both the video and the commentary)
Thanks Mr. Nosek.
Can't wait to have you aboard, Dad!
congrats on the upgrade
Congratulations Captain Ken!!!!!
Great video. I’m new to boating this year with a new AR190 and can’t wait to upgrade in a few years.
Thanks Abraham, upgrading is not for everyone. I'm still in my SX190 10 years running and love it.
3 yeas new 315 jey yaght
We should do a day of outing of Yamaha boats leaving from here in Long Island to Connecticut
yeß yiu ßhoukd
very nice. congrats
"A new bawn baby!" 😉
Beautiful boat. I'm enjoying my 2021 195S. I'm curious about that fender clip you have for the side windshield. Can you give more info?
I curious as well ... where did he bought that?
Love the intense music at the end
Thanks BX BMBR, and thanks for watching!
Im late to the party but man she is pretty enjoy, Capt Leon I sure enjoy your vids, now I just have to figure out FSH or runabout!
No doubt, a beautiful boat, thanks. You will have to figure out your fishing to family fun ratio. You can always find a way to fish off of any boat, and the fish don't know the difference. Thanks for watching.
Congrats for the boat but you should be arrested for filming in portrait mode 😂😂😂😂
I hear ya, when you consider the lens is round, articulating the phone for hand comfort should not impact the entire shot view. Why is that?
Captain Leon, Thank you so much for this amazing video. I have a 252SD on order. I spend summers in Southampton NY and was. hoping to keep it in the water all summer. I realize now that this is unrealistic, but do I really need to pull it out of the water every time use it to flush and clean from brackish water use? this seems like an incredible amount of maintenance. I will mainly be using the boat in the Peconic Bay. Thank you for any advice you may be able to offer.
Hey Kenneth, I’m not sure I would say brackish water is what you will be in. Both bodies of water you mention are salt water. Either way, if you leave it in for two weeks and then pull it, you will see the amount of growth that quickly grows on the hull. That growth will be in your jet pump and internals I’m sure. Now if you use the boat everyday vs. letting it sit, that will help. You may want to consider getting it bottom painted with an anti-fouling paint. Try it for a week and see, but make sure your bilge pump is always on to remove rain and other water while unattended. Good luck.
@@CaptainLeonsBoatingandMore Thank you Captain Leon that is a huge help!
Ken do an after break in oil change ..and filters .. micro shavings
Yes, the 10 hour recommended service includes the full oil change.
hahaha at first i was like, "this intro is stupid!"...... half way through the intro.... "okay im subscribing this guy rocks"
Thanks Two Dudes, I really appreciate it, and glad you appreciate my style, thanks!
love this video such a nice boat
Sure is, and thanks for watching Kyle!
Considering the 252. How is the ride in chop? Is it pretty smooth or does it bang agains wakes? We have a family member with a bad back and he's not able to take a rough ride any longer.
Like any boat it can get rough, depends on the conditions. It is a much better ride than the 19ft. Yamaha however.
what top speed did you guys reach? thx
She does 45 to 46 mph max
Great video! I'm really thinking about getting a Yamaha. What drone do you have btw?
I'm using a DJI Mini 2, Ive had others but the mini is so compact.
@@CaptainLeonsBoatingandMore the picture quality is fantastic!
having captain leon in the boat adds $50k minimum to it's resale value.
I like the way you think....lol
Yes, we'll make it into a Captain Leon Edition boat!
top speed in this video only hit 44mph ... has he gotten better top speed as engines gained some hours on them ?
Yes, 45 to 46 absolute tops.
@@kennosek6926 any mods .. i.e K/N, ribbon delete ? i bet you get 2-3 more mph
@@jayd1008 I wish it was that easy. Lol
@@kennosek6926 Ken , how do you tow your SE with the tower up or down ? highway use .. thnx
What top speed were you able to reach
I have same engines in 2020 212S
Mine is 45 loaded. 50 mph empty.
45 seems to be top, perhaps in time engines will loosen up and a few more can be squeezed out.
I have an AR250 so far 46 is my top speed
What is the cruising speed around 6000rpm ?
@@patl.5504 about 30mph @ 6k
@@kennosek6926 that's encouraging I run between 30 and 34 on my 2010 AR240 depending on load and tide and I just order the 252Se 2022
I’ve been looking to buy the AR250, couldn’t find one, where did you happened to buy yours from?
Hi Bradd, I live on Long Island and none of the dealers could get me the 252SE. I ended up finding one on a dealer's floor in February. Highway Marine in Quakertown PA. It was the last one at the time!
Was looking at a AR250 but decided to buy a deposit on a 252 Se 2022 a lot more features for the money. I'm trading my AR240 2010
Captain! Can you do a video showing you landing your drone on these boats?
I could, but essentially its a hand catch of the drone while the boat is anchored. Thank's for watching!
The only real downside for Yamaha is the lack of customization. Specifically color options.
wrap it...
wrong
Any steering aids on that bad boy?
Not yet. The twins are versatile around the dock. I'm still learning how to use them since I came from a single engine.
I’m thinking to buy one…salt water seems like okay right ?
We only boat in salt water, its perfectly fine if you keep it clean. Check out this video: ruclips.net/video/t7hHinoXvww/видео.html
yes it is fkush otbout
Why was there a 1000 rpm difference between the engines once you got on it?
I did not notice that.
At 9:48 the port side engine is running higher rpms than stbd side. I don't know if there are two throttles or one, but it seemed odd to me that they would be so out of whack.
@@TheGTG333 interesting observation. The boat however ran flawlessly the entire summer, no issues. Thanks for the comment!
Was running at the same RPMs. Little over 7000. Look again. The numbers are opposite on each side so it is just an illusion.
Why did you and Ken go with Yamaha over other boats? I just absolutely love the idea of no Props to harm my children...That is my main reason. I also enjoy Yamaha quality... only run their four wheelers before. I'm in MN so no maiden voyage videos with me for my purchase.
You have also hung onto your vessel for a while.....anyway you could do a buyers guide video? I want something newer but not brand new....Have you considered upgrading or lived with the things you don't like? I am so nervous about buying a used boat, unless it is from a guy like you! But you never know what you're going to get. First boat purchase....kind of nervous
The reliability of Yamaha and the safety of no prop is huge! You're right, buying a used boat is quite a gamble. Stick with an original owner who took pride in their vessel, then check who and when maintenance was done.
@@CaptainLeonsBoatingandMore agreed. Hopefully I can find someone like you who actually took pride in ownership.
Again appreciate all your videos. The side humor is hilarious too!
Shes in da waddah!
Exactly!! ..lol.
Add zddplus to engine oil ..
I'm at 10 hours already, time for an oil change video???
I noticed from this video a couple things. How does your F150 do hauling it? Thats been a concern of mine from stepping into that size boat. Also, I noticed you towed it with the bimini still on. Have you had any problems with that?
@@brdarley So the F150 is a 2021 and has the 3.5L and is rated for 8,500 pounds of pull. It pulls it flawlessly and with ease. Also, I travel under a mile to the ramp through back streets keeping speed under the recommended 45 mph tow speed. The biggest challenge is not to clip the low hanging fruit in the neighborhood! Lol
Thanks for the question!
@@kennosek6926 Thats awesome. I have a 2020 gmc 1500 at4 so that lets me know I'll be fine. Thanks for the response!
75 gallon tank ? ... Hello Bimini run !
Yes, 75 gallons!
And I do dream of making that Bimini run...😎
@@kennosek6926 I have the 240 and the # one thing I would upgrade for is that 75 gallon payload capacity! ..congrats
Well ..did it guys ! ..shinicock bay Hamptons to Montauk lighthouse and beyond ! Ocean ride out/ bay inside back to dock ...what a ride ! What a day caught many fish ..even small shark ..the homes on the ocean side out on east Hampton are insane !!!
252 Center console has 111 gallons
I’ll offer you my 2013 240sx with trailer & 30k cash for that 252 . let me know
It’s not mine to sell..lol.
@@CaptainLeonsBoatingandMore ask your buddy if would consider it .
nice ,,, 4000 rpm gets ya 7 mph speed,,, now thats nasty lol
