MIAMI 2015: DEBUT OF YAMAHA’S FIRST JET-POWERED CENTER CONSOLE BOAT
The 190 FSH represents new territory for the jet-power experts
The Miami Boat Show closed its doors yesterday, but left in its wake a plethora of new products and innovations including the latest from Yamaha. The 190 FSH boat series is the very first center console model to be produced by the company.
The jet-powered family fishing boat offers 360-degree views, an ultra-shallow draft and a stern lounging area. It has a spacious cockpit for its size and is designed for fishing enthusiasts with ample storage and no less than 14 rod holders. In addition, since the engine and train drive are mounted on the hull, the boat’s back is entirely open. This means unhampered fishing, towing and swimming.
The 19-foot design will come in three different types including the standard model, an upgraded 190 FSH Deluxe and the 190 FSH Sport with custom T-top. The Deluxe and Sport models both feature wiring for dual batteries, a stainless steel rub-rail, improved seating and cushions, a bow pedestal seat, and more. All of the models will be powered by a Yamaha 1.8L High Output marine engine.
