Yamaha’s jet-powered 190 FSH (19’2″ LOA, 8’w beam) is available in three variations: the base model 190 FSH, an upgraded 190 FSH Deluxe, and the flagship 190 FSH Sport that offers many of the features of the Deluxe with the addition of a custom T-top. Powered by Yamaha’s high-performance 1.8L High Output marine engine, the 190 FSH runs to a top speed of more than 40 mph. Because the engine and driveline are housed in the hull underneath the captain’s leaning post, the boat provides a true 360-degree experience that is perfect for fishing. This center console includes all the features that fishing enthusiasts want, along with family amenities for an entire day out on the water. The bow of the 190 FSH is large and wide and comes with a pedestal mount and fishing seat on the Deluxe model. The bench seat and front of the center console lift up to reveal a large storage area that can also serve as a changing room or a head compartment. On the sides of the center console are six vertical rod holders, three on each side. The helm offers a removable windshield, sport steering wheel, easy access to all boat control switches, and an open area to flush-mount electronics such as a fish finder, a GPS unit, and other marine electronics. Yamaha’s signature two-tier swim platform sits low at the water’s edge, and a retractable stern ladder makes reboarding after swimming a breeze. (800) 962-7926 ; yamahaboats.com
