Yamaha Fishing Boats For Sale

Yamaha's FSH (Family Sport Hybrid) line pairs center console fishing layouts with jet propulsion, and the range spans from the 19-foot 190 FSH Sport to the flagship 25-foot 255 FSH. These yamaha fishing boats run twin water jets rather than outboards, which clears the transom entirely and produces the brand's signature multi-level swim platform. Because there is no lower drive unit or prop, a yamaha fish boat can be backed into very shallow water, run up to a beach, and fished a full 360 degrees from the stern. The result is a boat that works as a family pleasure craft and a serious fishing platform on the same day.

Performance numbers anchor the lineup. The 255 FSH measures 24 feet 6 inches with an 8-foot 6-inch beam, draws 22 inches, weighs 4,835 pounds, and rides on a 20-degree transom dead rise. Its yamaha fishing boat engine package is twin 1.8-liter SVHO supercharged four-cylinders, each rated 250 horsepower for 500 horsepower combined, driving through 160 mm jet nozzles. That setup jumps the boat onto plane just over 5,000 rpm, with top speed running 55 to 57.5 mph at roughly 7,400 to 7,700 rpm. Best cruise sits near 5,000 rpm at about 31 mph, where a 14.8 gph fuel burn returns 2.1 mpg; with 111 gallons of fuel aboard, that yields a range of about 211 statute miles holding a 10 percent reserve. The smaller 190 FSH Sport uses a single 1.8-liter high-output inline four, planes in 3.5 seconds, and tops out around 38 mph.

The helm is the headline upgrade for buyers reading yamaha fishing boat reviews. The 255 was the first jet boat fitted with the Helm Master EX joystick, which commands the engines, steering, and control buckets together so the boat can be nudged sideways or spun in place during docking. The console carries a 12-inch Simrad touchscreen MFD with depth sounder and GPS charting, a 7-inch Yamaha Connects display for engine diagnostics and speed control, a Ritchie compass, a wireless phone charger, lighted rocker switches, and the E-Series single-lever throttle controls. Audio runs through six speakers, from Wet Sounds on the 255 to an upgraded Hertz system on the 2023 222 FSH.

The fishing and deck layout is dense with detail. The 255 carries 25-plus rod holders, including vertical holders that pass up through cutouts in the hard top for taller poles, plus a 30-gallon aft live well and an 18-gallon clear acrylic aquarium-style live well forward so bait stays visible. Snap-in floor padding pulls out to expose fore and aft casting platforms, and both raw-water and fresh-water washdowns simplify cleanup. Yamaha's clean-out port, a brand exclusive with a kill switch that cuts the engines when opened, lets owners clear debris from the impellers. Storage on the 255 FSH Sport E totals 543 gallons, including a dedicated 5-gallon bucket locker and an insulated, self-draining fish box.

Both fishing and family use are built into the same hull. Casting decks convert to seating with cushions and seat backs, the center deck section lifts out to mount a table for lunch, and the forward half of the console opens into a changing room or head compartment. The 255 sleeps no one but seats a crowd; the 222 FSH is rated for 10 people and counts 17 cup holders. On the 190 FSH Sport, the windshield and tower remove so the trailered boat drops to about 78 inches tall to fit a standard garage, and a 17-gallon insulated self-draining cooler sits under the bow seat. When shopping yamaha fishing boats for sale, weigh hull size against fuel capacity and range, confirm the Helm Master EX joystick is present on jet-drive models, and check for dealer-added options such as radar, a trolling motor, windlass anchor, or extra Garmin displays.
