Meet the 2026 Yamaha AR190 — a sleek, jet-powered thrill machine that's ready to dominate the water, now available at invoice pricing at Norris Lake/Jacksboro. Finished in a striking black hull, this 19.5-foot beauty is purpose-built for those who crave excitement on the water without the hassle of a traditional outboard or sterndrive. Powered by Yamaha's own 1.9L 200HP jet drive engine, the AR190 delivers immediate, responsive thrust and a smooth, exhilarating ride whether you're pulling wakeboarders, tubing with the family, or simply carving up the lake.
The AR190's 98-inch beam gives it a wide, stable platform that inspires confidence at speed and at rest, making it a fantastic choice for watersports, weekend cruising, or entertaining friends and family on the water. With a 40-gallon fuel capacity, you'll spend more time playing and less time at the dock. Yamaha's jet propulsion system also means no exposed propeller, making it one of the safest options for swimmers and water sport enthusiasts alike — a huge peace of mind for families.
At $41,410 — priced at invoice — this is an outstanding opportunity to get into a brand-new 2026 model at exceptional value. Yamaha's reputation for reliability and quality is baked into every detail of the AR190, and with this kind of pricing on a brand-new boat, it won't last long.

Based on 8 reviews from across the web
The AR190 has a strong reputation as a fun, approachable boat for families who want to get into watersports without a lot of fuss. Our owners consistently highlight how quick and responsive it feels on the water, and several have kept theirs for multiple seasons with very few reliability issues. The stern lounge and swim platform are a genuine standout feature, making it easy to hang out at anchor as much as you enjoy running at speed.
For watersports use on calm, sheltered water, this boat is well set up and dependable. Where opinions vary is on rougher conditions: owners coming from outboard or sterndrive boats notice more motion in chop, and a full load of passengers does take a toll on performance. These are real considerations worth weighing against how and where you plan to use it.
The AR190 suits buyers who prioritize fun, ease of use, and reliability over outright power or rough-water comfort. Owners who have eventually moved up to a larger model still speak well of it as a starting point, and resale demand for Yamaha jet boats tends to hold steady.
In our experience and based on what our owners tell us, yes. Several have run theirs for four or more seasons with minimal repairs and no reliability concerns.
The AR190 is at its best on calmer lakes and sheltered water. Owners who have boated on choppier conditions note it moves around more than a similarly sized outboard or sterndrive boat, so that is worth factoring in depending on where you boat.
It is set up specifically for watersports and comes equipped accordingly. The included forward-swept tower adds versatility for towing, and multiple reviewers call it a strong performer in this role.
The jet drive and compact engine layout free up the stern for a lounge area and swim platform that essentially acts as an outdoor patio when you are stopped. Our owners who spend time at anchor really appreciate it.
With five or more adults aboard, performance at higher RPMs is more modest. It is worth keeping that in mind if you regularly boat with larger groups.
No, the AR190 does not include a head compartment. If that is important to your family, it is one of the practical trade-offs to weigh before buying.
