Returning to the Yamaha boat line is the powerful 21-foot Yamaha 212 Series that is designed for the high-performance boating enthusiast who is attracted to class-leading acceleration and eye-popping contemporary styling.  Both models feature powerful twin 1.8L Yamaha marine engines.  These are the only 21-foot Yamaha boats that feature 1.8L Yamaha marine engines.  
The nine-passenger Yamaha 212 Series includes the 212SS and the 212X.  The 212X is the watersports edition of the series and is the only Yamaha boat to feature an internal ballast system that adds up to 750 pounds at the stern and six inches of wake.


Innovative Deck Design
The bow and cockpit of the 212 Series is cavernous for a 21-foot boat; making it easier to navigate with a full crew on board. This roomy layout gives the 212 Series the look and feel of a much larger boat.  
The bow is wider and longer than competitive models to better accommodate more passengers and the seating can be rearranged several innovative ways depending on cushion placement.  The 212 Series comes with Yamaha’s exclusive front-facing “rumble” seats that are a favorite with kids. The anchor/ladder locker is also quite large, making access to the anchor and ladder more convenient.  Finishing the bow are two speakers and two cup holders.
Featured in the cockpit area is a huge port side under seat storage locker. This high capacity compartment is large enough to store a full-size cooler, several PFDs and much more.

The sport performance helm of 212 Series is impressive, looking more like the helm of a high performance powerboat than a recreational runabout. The helm includes GPS instrumentation and large analog gauges with integrated digital information displays that provide independently controlled access to a wide range of information.
Also at the helm are Yamaha’s Cruise Assist™ and No Wake Mode™. When engaged, Cruise Assist will hold the engines at a specific RPM for effortless cruising or towing and can be increased eight positions up and eight positions down at pre-set increments (125 – 188 rpm depending on current engine speed). The No Wake Mode includes three different RPM settings allowing the driver to easily increase or decrease their no wake speed to find the optimum setting.
Completing the helm area is a comfortable, adjustable Captain’s Chair with a flip-up bolster, a premium sound system with a remote at the stern, and five chrome cupholders that are positioned throughout the cockpit.  The 212X comes with a fold-down aluminum watersport tower that makes storage more convenient and the 212SS comes with dual Captain’s Chairs.


Award-Winning Stern Lounge Area
The two-tier stern lounge area and swim platform of the 212 Series is more spacious and lower to the water than ever, making the stern area a great place to hang out when anchored in your favorite cove. The stern lounge area includes a mount for the 212’s dinette table, a stereo remote control, padded backrests, hydro-turf® deck mats, cup holders and a reboarding ladder. There’s even a wet storage locker where wet ropes or small inflatables can be stored without having to carry them through the boat.

Yamaha’s Signature Drive Train and Powerful 1.8L Engine Package
The key features that have the 212 Series outperforming its competition are Yamaha’s compact, lightweight high output Yamaha marine engines and unique internal drive system that delivers better performance and more peace of mind than traditional stern drive models. Yamaha’s ultra-responsive internal drive system brings the 212 Series on plane faster and accelerates quicker than any other 21-foot boat in the market.

The 212’s dual throttles are extended inside the cockpit and away from the freeboard for easier operation when seated on the flip-up bolster.  This throttle position allows for maximum maneuverability and engine control.

The heart of the 212 Series are two powerful 1.8L Yamaha marine engines, the largest power package ever in a 21-foot Yamaha boat.  These engines deliver 0-30 mph acceleration in under 4 seconds and top speed that exceeds 55mph.  And equally impressive is the fact that these engines sip fuel at normal cruising speeds for a cruising range of more than 130 miles.  

A recent addition to all Yamaha boats is a thrust directional enhancer that maximizes control and maneuverability. The thrust directional enhancer directs the water flow at an optimum angle, creating more responsive handling as the boat is turned right and left at slow speeds.  

Standard Features:
•    Twin 1.8L Yamaha marine engines that lead the industry in fuel efficiency and cruising range while delivering awesome performance and industry-best reliability and durability.
•    Yamaha’s 3-position No Wake Mode that allows the driver to set the engines at optimum no wake speed with the simple push of a button.
•    Cruise Assist™, Yamaha’s exclusive feature that allows the driver to hold engine speed constant, ideal for long range rides and for maintaining a consistent speed while towing.
•    Bimini Top
•    Innovative stern lounge area with table mount, backrests, and stereo remote.
•    Premium Clarion® stereo with 4 speakers and MP3/USB inputs; remote control on stern
•    Reboarding ladders at the bow and stern
•    Snap-in marine grade carpet.
•    Adjustable captain’s chair with flip-up bolster.
•    Pull up cleats.
•    Includes painted trailer.

Overview

The Yamaha 212X represents a significant advancement in wakeboard boat design, marking Yamaha's first internal drive boat equipped with an internal ballast system specifically tailored for wakeboarding. This 21-foot vessel combines the attributes of a versatile runabout with the capability to generate a substantial, rideable wake, making it an appealing choice for families seeking both recreational boating and wakeboarding functionality. Yamaha’s comprehensive standard equipment package, including a trailer, collapsible tower, and bimini top, positions the 212X as a strong value proposition within its class.

Exterior Design and Deck Features

The 212X features a well-thought-out exterior with a collapsible aluminum tower that includes board racks and integrates seamlessly with the bimini top. The swim platform is notably designed for ease of water access, facilitating frequent transitions between the cockpit and the water, which is ideal for families and wakeboarders alike. The deck is outfitted with durable, soft HydraMats, enhancing comfort and safety. Additional amenities on the deck include built-in backrest cushions, a table mount, and a remote control for the stereo system, all contributing to a comfortable and functional outdoor environment.

Interior and Helm

Inside the cockpit, the 212X offers seating for nine with attractive and durable upholstery. Storage solutions are ample, featuring a ski locker, a cooler integrated into the floor, and multiple additional compartments. The helm console, positioned to starboard of the windshield walkthrough, boasts an automobile-inspired design with clear instrumentation and rugged switches arranged for efficient operation. Engine controls provide a solid tactile feel and include a no-wake mode for precise speed management. Removable Berber carpeting adds to the interior’s comfort and ease of maintenance.

Power and Performance

Powered by twin high-output engines delivering a combined 320 horsepower, the Yamaha 212X utilizes Yamaha’s internal waterjet drive system, which places the propellers internally to enhance safety. These engines are noted for their clean, quiet operation, reliability, fuel efficiency, and minimal bow rise during planing. Performance testing revealed rapid acceleration, with the boat reaching plane in 2.9 seconds and 30 miles per hour in 4.3 seconds. The top speed recorded was 52.9 miles per hour, while the optimal cruising speed was determined to be 27.5 miles per hour at 7,000 RPM, providing a practical fuel range of approximately 158 miles.

Wakeboarding Features and Ballast System

While not a dedicated hardcore wakeboard boat, the 212X is well-equipped to meet the needs of wakeboarders. The internal ballast system includes two collapsible tanks located under the cockpit seats, capable of adding 750 pounds of water ballast to enhance wake size and shape. These tanks can be filled or emptied easily via rocker switches on the dash, allowing quick adjustments to the wake characteristics. The collapsible tower with board racks and the integrated bimini top further support wakeboarding activities, making the boat versatile for both riding and general recreational use.

Dimensions and Specifications

The Yamaha 212X measures 21 feet in length with a beam of 8 feet 6 inches and a draft of 16 inches. It has a dry weight of 3,029 pounds and carries 50.2 gallons of fuel. The hull design features a deep V with a 20-degree deadrise, complementing the jet drive system to provide a balanced combination of performance and handling.

Conclusion

Yamaha has successfully developed a versatile runabout that doubles as a capable wakeboard boat with the 212X. Its combination of thoughtful design, reliable and efficient powertrain, and practical wakeboarding features makes it an attractive option for families who desire a boat that can serve multiple recreational purposes. The 212X offers a compelling balance of performance, safety, and comfort, all within an affordable package that stands out in the internal drive wakeboard boat market.
