Yamaha has unveiled its 2015 series of boats, which includes 12 models ranging from 19 to 24 feet (6 to 8 metres). These models will feature an articulating keel that enhances steering responsiveness at all speeds.

“Yamaha’s jet boat technology is the new gold standard in marine propulsion with more customers across the 19-foot, 21-foot, and 24-foot segments choosing our jet boats than traditional stern drive boats,” said Brian Seti, general manager of Yamaha’s Watercraft division. “There’s been a sea change shift in customer thinking. Gone are the days of heavy boats with 24” drafts, clunky gear shifting, half the cockpit filled with an engine cover, tons of annual maintenance and liquids, and lackluster performance. Welcome to the new generation of boating. It’s better on every accord, even the price!”

Yamaha’s 2015 boats will also offer the all-new Quiet Cruise platform, which creates a quiet, comfortable ride for all on board by suppressing engine noise and vibration. What’s more, 24-foot models will be equipped with a Connext Helm Control System that combines an LCD touch screen with a joystick control, allowing the driver to access navigation tools as well as the boat’s entertainment hub.

The 2015 Lineup:

• 242 Series: 242 Limited and Limited S;
• 240 Series: AR240 and SX240;
• 212 Series: 212X and 212SS;
• 210 Series: AR210 and SX210;
• 192 Series: AR192 and SX192;
• 190 Series: AR190 and SX190
