Yamaha AR195: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The Yamaha AR195 is a 19-foot wake-inspired boat designed to offer both on-water enjoyment and water sports versatility. This latest model features an all-new design that extends the boat's length by 3 inches and widens it by 2 inches compared to previous versions, resulting in a more spacious and comfortable cockpit area.

Exterior Design and Cockpit Layout

The AR195's cockpit showcases thoughtful and creative design elements aimed at maximizing space and comfort. An L-shaped seating arrangement provides ample lounging room, complemented by a table with an integrated cooler beneath it. The helm seat swivels to face the cockpit, fostering a more social atmosphere without compromising the walkthrough space between the bow and stern. Bench-style seating spans the aft section, while a full-length lounge to port includes open storage underneath. The cockpit features two-tone upholstery with detailed textures, grab handles positioned fore and aft on the port gunwale, and snap-in carpeting throughout both the cockpit and bow areas. Storage is plentiful, with compartments located under the starboard bench cushion, beneath a hinged port cushion, and in a port-side locker housing the battery. The ski locker offers generous capacity for gear storage. A wraparound windshield with a powder-coated frame provides protection from the elements, and the standard sport tower includes an integrated bimini top, anchor light, and elevated toe point.

Helm and Controls

The helm seat is equipped with a flip bolster and swivels to enhance comfort and visibility. The dashboard is thoughtfully arranged, featuring a stereo remote and drink holder to port, a centrally located 4.3-inch K'NEXT engine monitoring screen, and a versatile cell phone holder to starboard that swivels for horizontal or vertical use. The tilt steering wheel is complemented by conveniently placed switches: the blower switch and ignition key are to port, while cruise assist and no-wake controls are on the starboard side. Additional storage is available in a glovebox-style compartment within the port console.

Bow Area

The bow area benefits from Yamaha's design choice to carry the beam farther forward, resulting in a spacious 5-foot 11-inch width. Wraparound bolsters and 3-foot 3-inch lounges provide comfortable seating, with pull-up cleats and well-positioned grab handles enhancing safety and convenience. Speakers are strategically placed to direct music toward passengers, and a two-foot-wide passage separates the bow seats. Filler cushions convert the bow into a large padded sunning area, while beverage holders are located in the aft corners. An aft-facing backrest at the front center adds to passenger comfort. Storage continues beneath the hinged bow lounge and within a large carpeted compartment to starboard. The anchor locker is equipped with clips designed to secure a Danforth-style anchor.

Engine and Swim Platform

Access to the supercharged 1.8-liter engine is gained by lifting the center cushion in the aft bench seat. The bench seat backrest includes a cutout to facilitate passage to the swim platform. The swim platform itself is covered in soft foam and features two levels: a water-level section and a higher forward section with wraparound backrests for aft-facing seating. Grab handles assist with reboarding from the water, and a wet storage compartment is integrated into the upper section. Additional amenities include a freshwater washdown on the port side and a Yamaha-exclusive plug that allows access to the jet pump for cleaning without requiring water entry.

Performance and Handling

The Yamaha AR195 measures 19 feet 5 inches overall with a beam of 8 feet 2 inches and an empty weight of 2,500 pounds. During testing with two passengers and 75% fuel, the estimated weight was approximately 3,100 pounds. Powered by a supercharged engine reaching up to 7,540 RPM, the boat achieved a top speed of 48.4 miles per hour. The optimal cruise speed was recorded at 31.4 miles per hour at 6,000 RPM, consuming 10.6 gallons per hour, which translates to roughly 3 miles per gallon and a range of 107 statute miles while maintaining a 10% fuel reserve from the 40-gallon tank. Acceleration tests showed planing in 3.3 seconds and reaching 30 miles per hour in 6.1 seconds. The AR195 features a new hull design that reduces bow rise during acceleration, contributing to a smooth and sporty driving experience. Handling is responsive yet stable, with a slight slide in turns that enhances passenger comfort without requiring excessive effort to maintain control. The articulating keel reduces drag while preserving maneuverability at low speeds. Additionally, the improved jet system incorporates a V-bucket design that enhances low-speed control and reverse maneuverability by diverting water laterally, leveraging side thrust benefits.

Conclusion

The Yamaha AR195 successfully combines performance, luxury, and practical design features in a compact and versatile package. Its spacious cockpit and bow areas, thoughtful storage solutions, and advanced engineering deliver a comfortable and engaging boating experience. The boat's responsive handling and efficient powertrain make it well-suited for both recreational cruising and water sports activities.
