Which one suits which buyer
Take the Yamaha AR190 if…
- Budget is the binding constraint: it asks $8,000 less at the median.
- You want choice: we track 77 of these against 40, so you can afford to walk away from a bad one.
- You would rather not travel: listings in 22 states against 19.
- The best-selling jet boat in America. Single TR-1 powerplant is cheap to run and trusted, and the sub-$45K price band has the deepest buyer pool in watersports.
Take the Yamaha AR210 if…
- You want the bigger boat: 21.0 ft against 19.0 ft.
