Yamaha 255XD: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Yamaha 255 XD is a 24-foot, family-friendly jet boat designed for both performance and comfort. Powered by twin Yamaha SVHO supercharged four-cylinder engines, each delivering 250 horsepower, this boat offers a nimble and responsive ride. Its jet propulsion system eliminates the need for trim adjustments, simplifying operation while providing quick planing and impressive acceleration.
Power and Performance
The 255 XD achieves a top speed of 58 miles per hour at just over 7,500 RPM, with a best cruise speed of approximately 38.5 miles per hour at 6,000 RPM. Fuel efficiency at cruise is about 1.9 miles per gallon, resulting in a range of roughly 131 miles with a 10% fuel reserve. Acceleration tests show the boat reaches 10 miles per hour in 2.2 seconds, 20 miles per hour in 4.2 seconds, and 30 miles per hour in 6.8 seconds. The jet propulsion system enhances maneuverability, allowing for sharp turns and quick responsiveness. The boat’s Drive X system further aids in docking and tight-quarter handling, offering joystick control with features such as side thrust, dock hold, crab movement, and pivot turns. This system enables the boat to spin in place, a maneuver difficult for traditional outboard boats.
Helm and Control Systems
The helm serves as the command center, featuring Yamaha’s Connect system integrated with dual throttle controls and a joystick for Drive X maneuvering. The helm seat is well-padded with bolsters and armrests, offering comfort and the ability to recline fully for interaction with passengers. The Connect touchscreen provides navigation, engine data, wake sport settings, Bluetooth audio controls, and lighting options. A controller knob allows operation without touching the screen, useful when hands are wet. Additional conveniences include cup holders, storage cubbies, USB charging ports, and a phone holder with charging capability.
Cockpit and Seating
The cockpit accommodates up to seven guests comfortably with U-shaped seating featuring padded backrests and Chill Cool technology vinyl upholstery, which remains cooler than traditional vinyl, allowing for darker, stylish color schemes. Storage is thoughtfully integrated beneath seats and in cubbies, with netted compartments for smaller items. Courtesy lighting enhances ambiance and visibility. The companion seat mirrors the helm seat’s comfort, providing good visibility and storage options.
Galley and Amenities
On the starboard side, the boat includes a compact galley area with additional countertop space, storage compartments, and a dedicated cooler. The design supports convenience during outings, making it easy to store refreshments and essentials.
Wakeboarding Features and Ballast System
Designed with wake sports in mind, the 255 XD incorporates a three-zone ballast system totaling 1,600 pounds. Two ballast bags are positioned at the transom port and starboard sides to optimize wake shape, with additional bags located behind the helm seat and near the centerline forward. Ballast and wake settings are controlled via the Connect system, allowing customization for wake surfing and other activities.
Bow and Forward Seating
The boat’s shovel nose bow design provides increased interior volume and seating space compared to traditional triangular bows. The bow area features comfortable, padded seating with ergonomic armrests, grab handles, cup holders, and speakers. Cushions extend fully around the bow, and filler cushions can convert the space into a large sun pad or a rumble seat. Under-seat storage is carpet-lined and easily accessible, with cushions that flip up and stay in place for convenience. The bow deck includes non-slip marine matting, an anchor locker with dedicated storage, a boarding ladder, and a cleat for securing the anchor line.
Additional Storage and Head
The port console houses a versatile storage area that can serve as a head in a pinch, featuring a hanging rod for drying personal flotation devices and ample storage with secure netting. The door includes dedicated compartments for table legs and other small items, enhancing organization.
Tower and Audio System
The boat is equipped with a large, black powder-coated tower that provides extensive shade over the cockpit area. The tower includes a zipper panel to allow adjustable light entry and is fitted with large Hertz speakers and courtesy lighting. The hinged top can be lowered to reduce clearance for low bridges or garages. Board racks on either side of the tower deploy outward to increase interior space and accommodate wakeboarding gear.
Swim Platform and Boarding
The swim platform is designed for easy boarding and lounging, featuring padded seating that converts into sun pads via a simple slide system. It includes grab handles, cup holders, speakers, USB charging ports, and audio controls. Storage compartments are hidden behind seat backs, and the jet system’s clean-out is conveniently located under the seating. A telescoping ladder tucks neatly into the centerline of the swim platform. The absence of propellers beneath the platform enhances safety for swimmers and boarders.
Conclusion
The Yamaha 255 XD combines powerful twin supercharged engines with advanced jet propulsion and intuitive control systems to deliver a responsive, family-friendly boat optimized for wake sports and recreational cruising. Its thoughtful design balances comfort, storage, and performance, while features like the Drive X joystick system and ballast controls enhance handling and wake customization. Overall, the 255 XD offers a versatile and enjoyable boating experience with a modern, well-appointed interior and exterior.
