Overview
The Yamaha AR240HO is a 24-foot family sport boat featuring a completely new hull and deck design, highlighted by an innovative articulating keel system. As the largest performance activity model in Yamaha's lineup, it is powered by twin 1.8-liter high-output fuel-injected four-stroke engines. This model emphasizes both performance and comfort, with thoughtful design elements aimed at enhancing stability, maneuverability, and onboard usability.
Exterior Design and Deck Features
The AR240HO's exterior is designed with water sports in mind, featuring a spacious transom area that includes a two-tiered aft-facing bench for comfortable lounging and a wide swim platform. The decks are covered with durable hydro-turf, providing excellent traction without overheating in the sun. Storage is abundant throughout the boat, including jumbo-sized lockers on both sides of the transom for wet gear, twin storage compartments under the bow seats, and a large bow hatch concealing recessed anchor storage and a beach boarding ladder. The anchor fits neatly into a dedicated slot, though the reviewer noted the absence of a cleat in this area. The dual console includes a versatile companion-side compartment that can serve as gear storage, a changing area, or a day head. Additional storage features include a large ski locker, beverage cooler, and battery access, all designed with hinged seat bottoms that keep cushions out of the way for easy operation.
Interior Living Spaces
Inside, the AR240HO offers comfortable and stylish seating arrangements with high-quality materials and attention to detail. The bow lounges provide seating or sunning space for four, which can be converted into a sun pad with a removable filler cushion. The U-shaped cockpit seating accommodates up to five adults and is upholstered in a modern contrasting theme. Both the captain and companion seats recline and swivel to integrate into the social area, with the companion seat featuring flip-up armrests and the captain's chair including a flip bolster pad for enhanced visibility or standing clearance. The front pedestal seats also swivel and provide plush comfort, rounding out a well-appointed interior designed for both relaxation and functionality.
Power and Performance
Powered by twin 1.8-liter high-output four-stroke engines, the AR240HO demonstrated impressive performance during testing. It achieved a time to plane of 2.3 seconds and accelerated from 0 to 30 miles per hour in 4.3 seconds. The top speed recorded was 51.8 miles per hour at 7,500 RPM, with a fuel consumption of 22.9 gallons per hour, resulting in a range of approximately 102 statute miles with a 10% reserve. The most efficient cruise speed was 27.9 miles per hour at 5,500 RPM, burning 9.5 gallons per hour for a range of 133 statute miles. The new articulating keel system, which includes a shallow keel running the boat’s length paired with an articulating paddle guided by the steering nozzle, significantly improved turning control and off-power maneuvering, providing a sporty, solid, and nimble ride with effortless steering and excellent tracking.
Private Accommodations
While primarily designed as a day boat for water sports and socializing, the AR240HO includes a dual console with a companion-side compartment that can function as a changing area or day head, adding a measure of privacy and convenience. The boat’s layout prioritizes open seating and storage rather than overnight accommodations, aligning with its role as a versatile family sport boat.
Conclusion
The Yamaha AR240HO is a well-designed and thoughtfully built family sport boat that balances performance with comfort and usability. Its innovative articulating keel enhances handling and maneuverability, while the twin high-output engines deliver strong acceleration and respectable top speeds. The boat offers ample seating, generous storage, and quality materials throughout, making it suitable for water sports enthusiasts and family outings. Noise levels are notably low for this class, contributing to an enjoyable onboard experience. The main limitation is its relatively modest 50-gallon fuel capacity, which may require more frequent refueling compared to similar boats. Overall, the AR240HO stands out as a capable and comfortable option in the performance sport boat category.
