Yes add more small boat reviews!! Thanks for all the info and actual on water performance video

I’ve watched til for years for all my truck info.. I recently got into the boat world and would have loved some reviews before hand. Even if I don’t own one,I love knowing about what’s out there. Keep em coming please! It helps in planning my next purchase. Thank you

We are looking at purchasing a Yamaha,viewed many different reviews yours was definitely one of the best, keep up the good work and keep doing boat reviews, really find your truck reviews very informative

Great review! You actually covered a lot of things the other reviews I've seen didn't touch on, so I appreciated that.

Great review! Very in-depth information. Beautiful little boat. Style, performance and feature packed. Wonder how it would perform with some additional weight in it like six passengers? Anyway keep the boat reviews coming! Week done. Chris

Great review. Learned a lot about the boats features. Thanks!

You guys get into a little bit of everything. That’s what makes TFL the best.

great review

I love the Yamaha wakeboats they look super nice!

svho on a jetski would be 65 and in a boat like this it's 50. The twin tr1's are similar on the 2020. 30-40 is what I like, usually closer to 30 - good gas and if you hit a bad wake you don't fly out, which is good when you got kids and stuff in the boat.

Do a review on the twin engine versions.

More boat reviews please

I have one of these in the Gulf . Like all Bow Riders they have their limits and can porpoise on you . Maybe more so than other small bow riders because they are designed to keep the bow down. It is a great all round boat especially for kids and water sports .

I have this boat added thrust vectors from jetboatpilot.com handles much better at slow speed for docking and trailering. Once you install them you'll come to find out how the articulated keel is a joke.

Is there performance motor parts for the motor

Thinking about trading my brand new Scarab 165 in for an AR195 or SX195. I like the 165 but it gets awful GPH and that supercharged 300 sucks the fuel down no matter if you're going 65 or 30. They really should've given it a bigger fuel capacity than 20 gallons. And there's just no room lol. I barely fit in the helm and I'm at the gym 4 days a week. I made a terrible purchase.

Gasoline vapor and boats can be a bad combination. Blower before starting engine after fueling keeps you from blowing up.

@kirbus69

4 жыл бұрын

To be a bit more descriptive, boats that have inboard engines are always sealed off in a compartment so that they can offer more seating and also to keep engine noise down. It's not like the hood of a car though, because the engine compartment of a car is open to the air underneath (boats are not due to needing to float) and the hood is not water/air sealed either on a car. This means that any fuel vapor/fumes that a boat engine or fuel lines emit will not easily escape the compartment, and can build up in that compartment. When you crank the starter motor over to start the boat, if the engine compartment is full of fumes, you will have a nasty explosion. Think about it like opening the propane valve on your gas grill at home, but leave the grill lid closed, wait 5 minutes, then use the striker. Would you want to do that? Same thing with a boat. A blower is a fan that helps pull fresh air into the engine compartment, and push out stale air and fuel vapor in that air. As a general rule, a blower should be ran for a few minutes BEFORE attempting to start a boat that has an inboard engine, and should be left on while the engine is running.

I have an older version of this boat. Your 350 is a 5.7 litre motor, this boat has a 1.8 litre motor. Big difference. I agree it is a bit under powered at times and could use more motor. But how often do you go over 45 miles per hour anyway? My average speed with my boat is between 12 and 22 mph pulling the kids on tubes and knee boards. Works pretty good about 90% of the time. The amount of space for a 19 foot boat is the best feature of it.

I doubt it. I have a 21' Carrera that had a Volvo 290A when I bought it. The top speed was about 45 on GPS. The boat speedometer said 60. I repowered with a blown 383 stroker with the same outdrive. I got it up to about 55. I just put a 525SC. 600 HP and put a bravo one outdrive with a raised x-dimension and captain's call exhaust. I should be able to run in the mid 80's. A 20' boat that is heavier than mine with a 350 and 900lbs of passengers doing 60? Nah.
