Yamaha 190 SX
The Yamaha 190 SX is a 19-foot boat, with model years from 2012 to 2025 in the listings we track. Across 41 listings we have observed (model years 2012–2025), the median asking price is $24,500, with most boats asking $20,000 to $27,500. The engine we see most often on this model is Yamaha 4-stroke outboard (F70–F300).
BoatVerdict market snapshot
These are asking prices. No free or public source publishes US used-boat transaction prices, so nobody — us included — can honestly show you what these boats sold for. What we can show you is what 41 sellers are asking, which is the number you are actually negotiating against.
41 priced listings across 18 states is a national sample, so the range is stable.
Method: Asking prices from active listings, de-duplicated so a re-posted boat counts once (222 raw listings collapsed to 41 distinct boats). Quartiles, not averages, so one outlier cannot move the band. Rounded to $500.
Coverage: Model years 2012–2025, 18 states, 30 metro areas. New-boat listings excluded.

The BoatVerdict take
- BoatVerdict listing data
Pricing is tight: the middle half of listings sits between $20,000 and $27,500, only a 1.4x spread. A boat asking well outside that band needs a reason, and "it is loaded" is usually not enough of one.
- BoatVerdict listing data
Supply is national: we saw listings in 18 states. You can shop this model without flying somewhere, and you will not be the only boat on the market when you sell.
- BoatVerdict listing data
Between the 2014 ($18,000 median) and the 2023 ($32,000 median) asking prices fall about 6% a year. The steepest part of that curve is behind any boat more than five years old, which is where the value sits.
- Recall (USCG/CPSC)
50 federal recall campaigns on file touch this builder. Check the specific hull against the recall list below before you put money down; remedies are free but only if the work was actually done.
Each point is tagged with the evidence behind it. Nothing here is a claim we cannot trace back to a counted listing, a federal record, or a named analyst judgement.

The 20 most recently seen of 20 distinct boats. These are asking prices, not sale prices: no free source publishes US used-boat sale prices. A boat re-posted several times counts once, at its latest ask. "Taken down" means the ad disappeared; that can be a sale, a seller who gave up, or an expired post.
Yamaha recalls and accident record
Of 648Yamaha boats in USCG accident records: fire or explosion 1%, flooding or swamping 5%, capsizing 1%, total loss 5%, at least one death 6%. Accident records reflect how and how much boats are used, not only how they are built. Only accidents above the USCG reporting threshold are recorded. Personal watercraft are left out.
These numbers are for the builder, not this model. Check the specific hull with a HIN lookup for recalls and reported accidents.

Engines we actually see on the 190 SX
- Yamaha 4-stroke outboard (F70–F300)
The benchmark for outboard reliability and resale. F150 and F300 routinely run 2,000+ hours with routine service. Top-tier buyer trust — a Yamaha-powered hull sells faster than the same boat on any other brand.
Service reality: 100-hour service intervals; 10-year/1,000-hour anode and water-pump attention. Saltwater units: check the bus bar and starter solenoid behind the powerhead for corrosion.

What to inspect on a used Yamaha 190 SX
- Yamaha 4-stroke outboard (F70–F300): 100-hour service intervals; 10-year/1,000-hour anode and water-pump attention. Saltwater units: check the bus bar and starter solenoid behind the powerhead for corrosion. Seen on 41 of the 41 190 SX listings we track.
- Get the hour meter reading and divide by the boat's age. Above 150 hours a year is heavy use for a Yamaha 4-stroke outboard (F70–F300). Threshold from BoatVerdict's engine-family profile for Yamaha 4-stroke outboard (F70–F300).
- Assume saltwater service unless the seller can prove otherwise: pull the engine cowling and look at the powerhead, check trim-cylinder rams for pitting, and open the battery and fuse boxes for green corrosion. 61% of the listings we observed for this model are in coastal states.
This list is specific to this model: analyst items for the hull, plus items driven by the engines and the regions we actually observe on 190 SX listings. It is not a generic pre-purchase checklist, and it does not replace a surveyor.
What a 190 SX costs to own
$1,750 – $4,500 per year
- 19 ft hull, the median observed length for this model
- Saltwater berth, based on where most listings we see are located (CA)
- Includes insurance, storage, routine service, fuel at moderate seasonal use, and a reserve for wear items
- Excludes loan payments, major engine replacement, and refit work
This is a modelled band, not observed spend. Real cost swings hard on where you keep the boat and how much you use it.
Method: The same ownership-cost model BoatVerdict's paid Deal Report uses: boat class and length set the base band, then saltwater berth and size adjust it.
