Tested: 2023 Yamaha Boats + Brand-new DRiVE X

We were able to test some of the latest and greatest from Yamaha Boat’s 2023 line-up. Check them out and keep your out for the official reviews in this year’s Boat Buyers Guide and Fishing Boat Buyers Guide. For more info, visit: yamahaboats.com.

We tested the all-new Yamaha 222XD, one of seven new boats in the 22-foot series. The boats in this line are technology-rich, featuring Yamaha’s award-winning DRiVE dual-paddle control system, a floating Connext touchscreen inset in an all-new right-justified helm, and for the first time on a Yamaha boat, wireless charging.

We got onboard the Yamaha 275SDX to learn about and test the brand-new DRiVE X, an assisted docking technology—great for any boater but especially ideal for new boaters. Here’s how to operate it.

Yamaha’s new 222 FSH Sport E stacks up with numerous hybrid qualities—all wrapped in a sporty jet-boat body. This 22-footer is the premium model of three new center-consoles from Yamaha that incorporate many of the same angling features of the company’s larger 25-foot FSH models.
