Yamaha 255 FSH sport H in the Florida Keys Gulf & Atlantic

AaronCarl said:
So I am looking to purchase a new 2024 FSH H boat I will be using this in the Florida keys taking family to sand bars reef fishing just cruising around the keys, I would also like to be able to make the Bimini trip. I have been looking for about a year now and plan on buying this summer I do not see any negatives in this Yamaha and when compared to the traditional dual outboard motor boats they are twice the money and does not seem to have all the options the Yamahas do, Does anyone have any suggestions or thoughts on this

Thank you

I have 24 255 FSH e . I have used in rivers creeks canals bays and the gulf. So far no issues.
I have added sea keeper Ride. Makes huge difference in the ocean .
Don't know how far your Bimini trip is ,I average 1.9 mpg @ 30 mph. so about 200 mile range
 
Add on s for fun and family.
Portopotti with pump out.
Battery charger
Sea keeper ride
I've even seen a Basket ball net that fits in transoms table holder
 
I have a 255 sport H also and have been considering the Cobrajet components. I do have a little concern with the extra forces being applied to the jet nozzles and the thickness of the metal. I guess I should be asking Jeff this question, but would like to know if anyone else has this concern.
 
I have E . added jetboat pilot vectors. Makes a difference in low speed maneuver and reverse.
I Cant get tech with pressure etc.
Almost 100 hrs . jets seem fine . no performance loss. Last haul out everything checked OK.

I am concerned with hitting something with the fin and damaging the nozzle or breaking the fin.
If the fin is in the water at speed, while turning it will put a large load on the nozzle and steering cables. I'm more concerned when making left turns because the cables push the nozzle to turn left and pull to turn right.
 
The vectors are above the bottom . turn with the jets. Don't know about cobra. Go to jet boat pilot on you tube . better if you see than me trying to describe.
 
PS
The vectors rise up and out of the way when on plane.
