Whether youâ??re a first-time boat buyer or a family looking at moving up to a larger, yet still affordable runabout, the SX230 High Output is definitely worth a look.

Thatâ??s exactly what Yamaha wants to do with the SX230 High Output. They want to expand beyond the jet drive market and compete with â??traditional driveâ?? boats, and theyâ??ve done a good job of that. Bow space, as you might expect, is limited on a 23-foot boat, but Yamaha does a nice job of putting that to good use by putting a self-draining ice chest under the starboard-side bow seat. If you go out skiing on a cold morning, in a runabout, a lot of times you have a wind tunnel coming right through the walk-through. Yamaha lets you eliminate that by adding this nice little door right here that locks into place like so. Functional Layout The SX230 helm is about what you expect from a runabout. Itâ??s really nice, though very ergonomically designed. The gauges are easy to read, and the switches are easy to use. Thereâ??s a couple of switches worth mentioning â?? the no-wake mode. What this does is allow you to operate the jet pump engines at the flick of a switch in a no-wake zone and still maintain good steering control. Thereâ??s more room in the SX230â??s cockpit than you may expect. In fact, thereâ??s room for 10 people on board this boat. And in addition to all the seating, thereâ??s a nifty little bonus â?? the center of the back seat pulls out and folds down to give you a nice walkthrough leading to the oversized swim platform/lounge area. The SX230 has a huge swim platform/lounge area at the rear of the boat, made possible by the use of jet drives instead of traditional drives. Jets have other benefits, too, such as the ability to operate in shallow water. However, jets can get clogged, so itâ??s nice to see Yamaha include easy access to the jet pumps from the swim platform so you can clear the pumps without getting in the water. The Power Behind the Boat The pumps are powered by a pair of 1052-cc, 4-cylinder, 4-stroke engines that produce a combined 320 horsepower. To give you complete control over the engines, Yamaha gives the SX230 High Output twin throttles, just like youâ??d expect to find on a â??traditionalâ?? twin-engine craft. The throttle response is solid, thanks to the twin 155mm, hyper-flow jet pump propulsion system. Each pump has a 3-blade, stainless-steel impeller and a high-flow intake duct and grate designed to improve water flow into the pump for better thrust, performance, and hook-up. Jet drives have always been notorious for slow acceleration out of the hole, but Yamahaâ??s high-output pumps and powerful engines go a long way toward narrowing the performance gap between the SX230 and comparable, â??traditionalâ?? runabouts. And once the boat is underway, and the pumps are filled with water, the performance is very nearly indistinguishable from the non-jet-powered competition.
