Yamaha has earned itself a name for the revolutionary 230 Series boats, and new for 2009 are the upscale Yamaha 232 Series boats. The flagship Yamaha 232 Series include the 232 Limited and the 232 Limited S, which offer the ultimate combination of luxury, versatility and performance. One of the main features that differentiate the 232 Series from other boats in its class is Yamaha’s “jet drive” system that brings the 232 series on plane faster and accelerates quicker than stern drive boats. Both the models come complete with a custom matching painted trailer with swing-away tongue for easy storage, spare tire and built-in retractable tie-down straps. Towering over all others, the new models are designed to elevate comfort, style and luxury.

Enveloping twin high-output Yamaha marine engines, the 232 Limited and the 232 Limited S offers an unparalleled luxury in the form of class seating and stainless steel accents. Gracefully bridging the gap between pure sport and sheer luxury, the new Yamaha 232 Limited S boat is a water sports edition that will appeal to the most demanding individuals. It features a forward-swept aluminum tower with flush mounted lights and Kicker tweeter speakers.

Salient features for both the models include:

• A freshwater shower built into the swim platform.

• Ten storage compartments.

• A full-size ski locker that accommodates skis, kneeboards or wakeboards. Stern storage is perfect for wet items, like ropes and wetsuits.

• Stainless Steel Details including rubrails, cupholders, grab handles and pull-up cleats.

• 36-quart built-in ice chest.

• Innovative swim platform.

• Dinette table with mounts at cockpit and stern.

• Easy access to the stern patio area and swim platform from the cockpit.

• Custom adjustable tilt steering wheel.

• Satellite equipped Sony AM/FM/CD stereo with remote at stern.

• MP3 player input.

• J-shaped seating with a convertible lounger provides excellent comfort and versatility.

• Soft marine grade upholstery with added bolstering for extra comfort.

Pricing starts at $41,199 for the 232 Limited and $43,199 for the Limited S.
