Whether you’re a first-time boat buyer or a family looking to upgrade to a larger, yet affordable runabout, the Yamaha SX230 High Output is a worthy contender. With space for up to 10 passengers, a host of distinguishing features, and an exhilarating ride, it’s a boat that demands attention.
While bow space is typically limited on a 23-foot boat, Yamaha ingeniously maximises it with a self-draining ice chest beneath the starboard-side bow seat. Additionally, they’ve addressed the issue of wind tunnels with a convenient door that eliminates drafts during cold morning outings. The helm of the SX230 offers the expected functionality, while the cockpit seating is generously proportioned and ergonomically designed for comfort.
Powered by twin MR1 4-stroke 20-valve 4-cylinder engines, each delivering 180hp, this boat is equipped with essential features such as a compass, marine stereo player, functional bimini top, table, and more. Even with a full load, the SX230 attains an impressive top speed of 47.2 mph, potentially reaching 50 mph with lighter cargo. The dual throttles offer precise control, enhancing manoeuvrability during turns and providing an extra boost when needed.
Storage is plentiful onboard, boasting 15 compartments including an anchor stowage locker, under-seat storage, and carpeted compartments under the starboard and port consoles. The full-size ski locker accommodates various water sports equipment, while additional storage options abound throughout the craft.
What truly sets the SX230 apart is its user-friendliness. It’s remarkably intuitive to operate, making it suitable even for novice boaters. Whether for skiing, wakeboarding, or simply cruising, its speed and stability ensure an unforgettable experience on the water.
Complete with bow and rear cushion in-fills for sunbathing, ample onboard storage, and convenient cupholders, the Yamaha SX230 is the epitome of versatility and enjoyment for water enthusiasts.
This SX230 has been very well maintained/serviced regularly and has been stored indoors over the winters. It comes complete with a twin axle launching trailer and the Park & Launch has been paid for the season (which is transferable to the new owners)
