Yamaha has just introduced the 190 FSH, the first centre-console model from a manufacturer better known for its jet boats and personal watercraft. Measuring 19.2 feet long and 8.0 feet wide, the 190 FSH can comfortably accommodate up to eight passengers. What makes it special? Its jet propulsion mode, a Yamaha specialty. The advantage? Its more affordable price (just under $30,000) and the fact that it be used in more shallow waters.
There are three versions on offer, distinguished mainly by their equipment levels. The most expensive comes with a T-top to protect the driver from both rain and shine. All versions share the same 1.8-litre four-stroke four-cylinder engine also used in Yamaha personal watercraft. This new model helps Yamaha keep pace with the latest trends.
