Yamaha AR240 High Output: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Yamaha AR240 is a 23-foot 6-inch jet boat designed for performance and versatility. With a beam of 8 feet 6 inches and a shallow draft of 16 inches, it weighs 3,369 pounds dry and carries 50.2 gallons of fuel. Powered by twin 1812cc high-output Yamaha marine engines, the AR240 delivers a blend of speed, efficiency, and maneuverability, making it suitable for both short runs and longer cruises.
Power and Performance
During testing, the AR240 reached a top speed of 51.6 miles per hour, consuming 23.2 gallons per hour and achieving 2.22 miles per gallon, which translates to a 100-mile range with a 10% fuel reserve. For cruising, two optimal RPM settings were identified: at 6,000 RPM, the boat runs at 37.4 miles per hour with an 11.5 gallon per hour fuel burn, favoring speed; at 5,500 RPM, it cruises at 31.7 miles per hour with a 9.8 gallon per hour burn, prioritizing fuel economy. Both settings yield approximately 3.2 miles per gallon and a range of 147 miles, allowing operators to choose based on trip length. Acceleration is brisk, with planing achieved in 2.5 seconds and 30 miles per hour reached in 4.2 seconds. Despite the absence of running gear beneath the hull, the AR240 exhibits excellent handling, maintaining grip through turns. However, due to the jet drive's thrust-based steering, maneuverability at idle is limited and requires a slight throttle increase to achieve responsive turning.
Exterior Design and Deck Features
Yamaha has optimized the bow seating area with configurable cushions that allow for customizable seating arrangements. Two non-skid steps lead to a small diving platform, which includes anchor storage and a four-step boarding ladder. The port side storage compartment is spacious enough to serve as a changing room or, with minor modifications, a portable head. On the starboard side, storage beneath the console is ample but partially encroached upon by steering cables. The walkthrough area can be enclosed by closing the windshield and the port storage door, providing wind protection in cooler conditions. The aft transom features a dual-level seating arrangement complemented by a pedestal table mount, creating a comfortable patio space. The self-draining cockpit incorporates scuppers plumbed through the transom to prevent water accumulation in the bilge.
Bridge and Controls
The helm layout is clean and uncluttered, centered around multifunction gauges integrated into the twin tachometers, with a speedometer positioned between them. Rocker switches with circuit breakers flank the gauges, simplifying electrical management without the need to search for fuses. Engine controls are mounted at a 45-degree angle, which some operators may find awkward when seated in the bolster; many users adapt by using a palm-up grip. To enhance low-speed handling, Yamaha includes a no-wake mode and cruise assist feature, allowing fine adjustments of engine RPM in 50 RPM increments for precise speed control without abrupt throttle changes. The port side offers a comfortable forward-facing observer seat that easily converts into an aft-facing lounger.
Engine Access and Maintenance
The AR240’s low-profile, high-output twin engines are easily accessible through the engine compartment. Key maintenance points such as yellow dipsticks and oil filters are prominently positioned for convenience during routine servicing. The design facilitates straightforward oil changes and inspections, reflecting Yamaha’s focus on user-friendly upkeep.
Conclusion
The Yamaha AR240 combines thoughtful design, strong performance, and practical features into a versatile jet boat platform. Its powerful twin engines deliver impressive speed and efficient cruising options, while the hull and jet drive provide confident handling and maneuverability. The flexible seating arrangements, ample storage, and well-organized helm contribute to a comfortable and functional boating experience. Overall, the AR240 stands out as a capable and well-engineered vessel suitable for a range of recreational boating activities.
