The signature feature of Yamaha boats is an inviting two-tiered transom area that makes it easy to board and creates a great environment for serious attitude adjustment. This year, the swim platform is even larger and has a pair of integrated cupholders. Its padded tiers are also the spot to get ready for watersports, which this boat is optimized to handle.� Best Uses. The Yamaha AR is ready for just about any activity, including fishing from its roomy transom lounge, but it�s optimized for watersports. The great thing about Yamaha�s pricing is that boats such as the AR, despite its low MSRP of $37,, come loaded with standard features, including an aluminum wakeboard tower and an integrated Bimini top. The tower includes another improvement over last year. The best jet skis for wakeboarding are the biggest 3-seater models with HP engines and large weight capacities. Speaking of features, you may want the most spacious swim platform available, while cruise control and a reboarding step make it easier to get back to the jet ski. Although, you don�t necessarily need a customized jet ski simply for tow sport they do exist.� Although Yamaha does not have a specially designed tow sport watercraft, it boasts some of the best Waverunners for tow sports. One such machine is the Yamaha VX Cruiser HO.� Many boats are equipped with wakeboard towers for better tow sports experiences. These might seem like one of those not-too-important bells and whistles.

By Mel , February 8, in Boat Talk. I'm sold on a Chaparral because the features, design and build quality are evident, and the ownership is so passionate about the brand. So here's the question -- What can you tell me about the jet boats that will help me show that guy the error of his ways?

Thanks in advance! A jet boat is an oversized jet ski. Not good on choppy waters at all. I had a friend break her tailbone after they hit a wake. Jet boats are light. Good luck wakeboarding behind them. Oh you can do it but jet boats don't put out hardly any wake because they are so light. There are big differences between these two. It all depends what you're looking for.

If you're looking for a small craft to spin around and do cookies on the water and just have a little fun then a jet boat might be up your alley. If you want to boat like a real boater and ski, tube, wakeboard and cruise the waters no matter what the chop is like then get a real boat. My friends jet boat was a POS. When it did work it was like a jet ski.

Left side of paper, Chappy: beautiful creation, power to spare, safety, resale value, room to move, doesn't porpose in small chop, makes you look good, ect. After all, "It's not how good you look but how you look good". Trust me, get a real boat if you want to go boating, get the Yammie if you want to join the Yammie club. Not an expert opinion but nevertheless Harley vs Vespa During my first visit to a local dealer that sells both Chaparral and Yamaha I was showing some real interest in a ssi and all the sales guy could do was try to steer me to the jet boats.

They had 2 holdover Chappies and a bunch of unsold Yamahas. He was selling me very hard on the jets Chaps sell themselves. My friend's brother bought a Yamaha jet boat 2 years ago and absolutely hates it.

He doesn't like the maneuverability issues. While I am not going to argue a jet boat is the way to go, I will say that jet boats now aren't what they used to be. They are no longer a streched jetski with a couple of high HP engines in them. Yamaha now makes a 50, deer 24 foot boat. I would be interested to see a fuel economy comparison, as jet drives are not known to be efficient. I would go Chap all the way, just wanted to point out that all jet boats aren't 15ft Sea Doo Speedsters anymore.

A buddy has a 22ft I think Yammie. I have ridden in it, really rough. He constantly complains about the horrible gas mileage. This is a little like going to a cattlemen's forum and asking about sheep farming. Or, like going to a GM truck forum and asking for a Ford truck comparison, although I'm not casting any particular brand in any given role.

Is your friends 2 stroke or 4? I have not been in some the newest ones so can't comment on the ride. To be honest, I know a few people with jet boats or at least have had them and not one that I know of was happy with them.

I still think it depends what your using it for. It's like comparing a Chap to an airboat You can't compare the two. As far a forums I'm sure if you went to a Yugo forum there would be all sorts of people talking about their Yugos. A Yamaha vs A Chaparral. You do the math! I bet they're gonna wonder why the spike in traffic today. If you don't mind running engines at over RPM to get any kind of power, if you don't mind loosing the ability to comfortably maneuver at low speeds around docks, if you don't mind a gas eater, if you don't mind worrying about how the impellers are going to suck up gunk when running in skinny water, if you don't mind rough riding boats, then by all means get a jet boat.

For me, IMHO, you can beat props in the water to power a boat. More efficiency, better gas mileage, and much better overall handling. Thanks, everybody. You confirmed and validated everything we thought about the Yamahas. The foot Yamaha is a darn nice looking, well-built boat with a lot of whistles and bells. But I just can't get past the idea of that noise.

Can't trade that whumpa-whumpa-whumpa V8 for a zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Plus a true neutral, which the Yamaha doesn't have, comes in handy at the dock. A big Yamaha selling point seems to be high-speed manuverability, but how much fun can you have leaping wakes, spinning or submarining the bow when your wife's barfing in the cooler?!

We sold our last boat 6 years ago, a foot big-block cuddy and moved away from the water. We're back on the lake now. Jet boats have come a long way, but and we'll take a run at a sweet Chappie SSI or Sunesta. Thanks again for your opinions. Next time you see a jet boat on Lake Norman, N.

Jet boats are for going fast in calm water, turning quick at high speed for a thrill, impressing people you'll never meet with your roostertail and burning a lot of gas.

If that is the way you want to boat, buy one. Real smart boat owners know that Chaparral is, well Chaparral. Beat that! Cruisers are for burning even more gas. Including Chaparral. To preface, I own and love my Chappy ssi. Best boat I've ever owned so don't kill me.

A friend of mine has a sea doo wake boat with dual supercharged rotex engines that accelerates faster than any factory boat I've ever been in although it soes have the same top end as mine. It has the bladders so you can flood them to get the wake how you want it.

It is not as manuverable at slower speeds as an IO and it's tricky trying to backup. You can post now and register later. If you have an account, sign in now to post with your account.

Slowhand Posted February 8, Chaparral Web Team Posted February 8, Can't argue with that! Toddler Posted February 8, Jet boats are probably good for boating on shallow lakes.
