2015 Yamaha AR192

What makes this AR192 stand out is how much fun Yamaha squeezed into a 19-foot hull. The supercharged powerplant gives you that instant punch out of the hole, but it’s surprisingly fuel-conscious when you throttle back for a cruise. At the helm, the automotive-style dash and clear, simple gauges make it easy for newer captains to feel confident. Up front, the bow seating is deep and secure, so friends don’t feel like they’re perching on top of the deck. At the transom, those two-tier lounge seats turn the swim platform into a social zone, perfect for gearing up for tow sports or just hanging out at anchor between runs.

For waters that mix tight channels, open stretches, and busy weekend traffic, this AR192 is right at home. The jet drive lets you explore shallower areas where prop boats hesitate, while its compact size makes docking in crowded marinas far less stressful. When afternoon chop kicks up, the hull still feels solid and predictable, giving passengers a comfortable ride back to the dock. The integrated tower keeps wakeboards and skis organized and off the deck, preserving cockpit space for guests. Add in easy trailering and simple rinsing after a day in brackish or fresh water, and you get a boat that truly fits the varied local conditions.
