All new from Yamaha are the 19-foot sport SX190 and the watersports tower equipped AR190 that will revolutionize the 19-foot boat segment in the same way Yamaha did with its best-selling 21-foot and 24-foot models. The Yamaha 190 Series exudes Yamaha’s boat DNA with an innovative design, exhilarating performance, and complete feature package that no other brand offers in this value-oriented class.
Innovative Deck Design
Beginning at the bow, the 190 Series offers the roominess of most 21-foot boats with plenty of space for two adults to stretch out comfortably. The 190 Series features a “molded in” anchor locker with ample space for the anchor and rope all in one dedicated self draining compartment. This is a feature rarely seen in a 19-foot boat. Also in the bow is storage under the seats. On the port side, the storage under the seat opens into a cavernous port console storage compartment for extra long items. 9 cup holders provide the finishing touch. The cockpit area and helm of the 190 Series is a step up from that of other 19-foot models. From the stylized upholstery, comfortable J-shaped seating rarely seen in a 19-foot boat (AR190; the SX190 features U-shaped seating with two captain’s seats), integrated, reclined rear seat backs and quality snap-in marine carpeting to advanced helm features that include Cruise Assist™ and 3 position No Wake Mode™, the 190 Series is no ordinary 19-foot boat.
Yamaha’s Award-Winning Stern Lounge and Swim Platform
The SX190 and AR190 boats feature Yamaha’s award-winning stern lounge area and swim platform. Made possible by Yamaha’s drive train and compact engine that sits low in the hull, only Yamaha can offer this innovative design. Enjoying the stern lounge area of the 190 Series begins with Yamaha’s convenient walk through transom that opens into the lounge area and swim platform. Stern features include:
• Integrated cup holders.
• Ski tow eye.
• Hydro turf® mat
• Wet storage.
• Deep, angled reboarding ladder.
• Upholstered backrests.
Yamaha’s Signature Drive Train and 1.8L Marine Engine
The heart of the 190 Series is Yamaha’s signature jet drive propulsion system and compact 1.8L Yamaha marine engine that delivers top of class performance and fuel efficiency while maximizing the usable space of the cockpit and stern area. Every inch of the 190 Series layout is functional with no wasted space or compromises unlike stern-drive models where huge engine blocks cover a third of the usable space.
Yamaha’s jet drive system is renowned for its industry-best acceleration and quick time-to-plane. Powered by the same Yamaha 1.8L marine engine that comes with Yamaha’s flagship models, the 190 boats provide a cruising range of 130 miles at approximately 4.5 miles per gallon.
Also new for Yamaha in 2012 is a thrust directional enhancer that maximizes control and maneuverability. This new design 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:
• Yamaha 1.8L marine engine that leads the industry in fuel efficiency and cruising range, while delivering top of class performance, 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.
• Innovative stern lounge area with padded backrests.
• Premium stereo with 4 speakers.
• Reboarding ladder at the stern
• Snap-in marine grade carpet.
• Adjustable Captain’s Chair with flip-up bolster.
• Includes painted trailer.
• Bimini Top

Overview
The Yamaha 190 series, comprising the SX-190 and the AR-190, represents a line of smaller, entry-level boats designed to maximize value for users seeking performance and versatility. Both models share nearly identical specifications and features, with the primary distinction being cosmetic and the presence of a collapsible wakeboard tower on the AR-190. These 19-foot boats are powered by a single engine with jet drive propulsion, offering a shallow draft and maneuverability suitable for water sports and recreational boating.
Exterior Design and Deck Layout
Measuring 19 feet 2 inches in length overall with an 8-foot beam, the 190 series boats feature flared topsides that enhance interior cockpit space. The bow area is notably spacious for a boat of this size, with deep storage compartments beneath the seats capable of accommodating items such as skis. A dedicated anchor storage compartment with a locking mechanism is an uncommon but practical inclusion. Safety is addressed with 13-inch high sides and conveniently placed grab handles. The cockpit includes a J-shaped seating arrangement without an engine box intrusion, made possible by Yamaha's low-profile 1812cc four-cylinder four-stroke engine. The aft swim platform is a signature Yamaha design, consisting of two levels separated by nine inches with non-skid surfaces and positioned close to the waterline for easy water access. It includes a three-step reboarding ladder and grab handles, as well as two tow points for water sports.
Helm and Controls
The helm station is straightforward and functional, featuring a basic layout with only two primary gauges: a speedometer and a tachometer. The tachometer incorporates a digital multifunction display that cycles through various engine parameters. Rocker switches with circuit breakers are located beneath a sunscreen above the gauges. Notably, the helm includes a no wake mode and cruise assist feature, allowing for incremental speed adjustments with simple throttle inputs. The steering is directly linked to the jet pump thrust, providing responsive handling at higher speeds but reduced maneuverability at low speeds. A new feature in the jet pump assembly is a thrust deflector that improves low-speed control.
Power and Performance
Powered by a single 1812cc high-output four-stroke Yamaha engine coupled with a 155-millimeter axial flow jet pump featuring a three-bladed stainless steel impeller, the SX-190 delivers impressive performance metrics. The boat achieved a top speed of 43.2 miles per hour at 7400 RPM, consuming 11.9 gallons per hour and yielding a fuel efficiency of 3.65 miles per gallon, which translates to a range of approximately 98 miles. At a more economical cruise speed of 28.4 miles per hour at 6000 RPM, fuel consumption drops to 6.3 gallons per hour with an improved efficiency of 4.5 miles per gallon and a range of 122 miles. The boat planes rapidly, reaching planing speed in 3.3 seconds and accelerating to 30 miles per hour in 6.8 seconds, with minimal bow rise of about five degrees, maintaining good visibility during acceleration. Handling is brisk, with the ability to execute tight turns and quick directional changes, although some speed loss occurs during slow, tight turns.
Water Sports Capability
The 190 series is well-suited for water sports such as wakeboarding. During testing, the boat maintained a straight and stable track while towing a wakeboarder, requiring only minor speed adjustments during turns. At approximately 18 miles per hour, the boat generated sufficient wake to satisfy water sports enthusiasts. The AR-190 model features a collapsible wakeboard tower, enhancing tow point height and convenience, while the SX-190 lacks this tower but retains a tow point at the transom.
Additional Features and Standard Equipment
Yamaha has equipped the 190 series with a comprehensive set of standard features uncommon in this size category. These include a tilt steering wheel, snap-in carpet, stereo system, bimini top, and a painted trailer. The swim platform hatch provides access to a clean-out port for the jet pump impeller, facilitating maintenance. Drink holders are strategically placed in each corner of the cockpit. The boat’s design emphasizes practicality and user convenience without reliance on optional upgrades.
Conclusion
The Yamaha 190 series offers a compelling package for entry-level boaters seeking a versatile, well-equipped, and performance-oriented vessel in the 19-foot range. Its jet drive propulsion, spacious layout, and thoughtful features such as no wake mode and cruise assist enhance usability for both casual cruising and water sports. The differences between the SX-190 and AR-190 are primarily aesthetic and related to the wakeboard tower, allowing buyers to select based on preference without sacrificing core functionality. Overall, the 190 series stands out for delivering substantial value and enjoyable boating experience in a compact footprint.
