All new for the 2003 model year, the SR 230 sport boat is a major departure for Yamaha. It is the first 23-foot, 10-passenger bow rider in the industry equipped with dual jet drive engines. The compact 140 HP Yamaha jet drives allowed the designers at Bonnette to enhance water access by incorporating a center walk-through transom leading to the revolutionary stern layout. The client envisioned the swim platform as a private patio on the water equipped with rear facing seats and room for an optional dinette table. The cockpit is home to fourteen storage compartments, including a full size ski locker.
