Overview
The Yamaha SX240 is a 23-foot, 6-inch runabout powered by twin jet drives, reflecting Yamaha's 25 years of jet drive technology development. Designed for trailerability and shallow water operation, this model features a dry weight of 3,298 pounds, a beam of 8 feet, 6 inches, and a draft of just 16 inches. It carries 50 gallons of fuel and is equipped with twin 1.8-liter four-cylinder, four-stroke, electronically fuel-injected marine engines purpose-built by Yamaha.
Exterior Design and Jet Drive System
The SX240's transom is notable for its absence of traditional outdrives and propellers, replaced instead by twin jet pump units directly driven by the engines. Water intake occurs through port and starboard intake grates, with control buckets that vector thrust for forward, reverse, and steering maneuvers. This jet propulsion system offers several advantages, including a very shallow draft and no exposed propellers, enhancing safety and allowing Yamaha to position the reboarding ladder centrally on the swim platform for convenience. The hull incorporates two full-length lifting strakes and a slight reverse chine leading to a 20-degree dead rise at the transom. Additionally, clean-out ports provide easy access for clearing debris from the jet pump intakes, and safety features include cut-off switches that prevent engine start or shut down the engines if panels are opened.
Performance and Handling
During testing with two people aboard and half a tank of fuel, the SX240 achieved a top speed of 52.2 miles per hour at 7,550 RPM, consuming 22.2 gallons per hour, which translates to a range of approximately 105 statute miles with a 10% fuel reserve. The most efficient cruise speed was 37.5 miles per hour at 6,000 RPM, burning 11.05 gallons per hour and extending the range to 153 miles. Acceleration is immediate and smooth, with a 0 to 30 miles per hour time of 4.3 seconds and a quick planing time of 2.6 seconds. The boat exhibits solid and responsive handling, maintaining control even in rough chop and high-speed turns, aided by the jet pump's water suction that effectively 'glues' the boat to the water surface. Bow rise peaks quickly at 18 degrees before settling, contributing to a confident ride.
Operational Features and Maneuverability
Yamaha has integrated user-friendly features such as cruise assist and no-wake modes, controlled via a rocker switch on the helm. This allows for precise low-speed adjustments in the marina with three selectable speed settings, and once underway, cruise assist enables incremental speed changes without moving the throttles. The jet drive's smooth reverse gate operation offers a seamless transition between forward and reverse, contrasting with the more abrupt shifting of traditional transmissions. Despite common misconceptions about jet boats, the SX240 provides excellent control and maneuverability, making docking and close-quarters handling straightforward for operators with some experience.
Conclusion
The Yamaha SX240HL runabout delivers a distinctive jet-driven boating experience characterized by shallow draft capability, responsive handling, and smooth, instant acceleration. Its thoughtful design elements, including safety features and operational aids, complement its performance credentials, making it a compelling option for those seeking a versatile and trailerable jet boat. The SX240 balances innovation with practical usability, providing confident control in a variety of conditions.
