The 2026 Yamaha AR195 is the perfect blend of performance, versatility, and fun on the water — and right now, you can take one home at invoice pricing. Powered by Yamaha's legendary 1.8L SVHO 250HP engine, this 19.5-foot jet boat delivers exhilarating acceleration and responsive handling whether you're tearing through open water, pulling wakeboarders, or cruising the coves of Norris Lake. With a beam of 98 inches, the AR195 offers a wide, stable platform that's as comfortable for families as it is for thrill-seekers.
The striking blue hull turns heads at the dock and looks just as sharp at speed. A 40-gallon fuel capacity means you can spend more time on the water and less time worrying about your next fill-up — ideal for those full-day adventures around Jacksboro and beyond. As a jet boat, the AR195 also benefits from a propeller-free design, making it a safer and more family-friendly choice in shallow or crowded waters.
Buying at invoice is a rare opportunity on a brand-new 2026 model, and this AR195 won't stay on the lot long. Whether you're upgrading your weekend routine or getting into boating for the first time, the Yamaha AR195 delivers showroom-fresh quality at an exceptional value. Stop by our Norris Lake/Jacksboro location today and see it for yourself — your best summer on the water starts here.

The AR195 earns consistent praise from both expert reviewers and our owners for its thoughtful design and ready-to-go-out-of-the-box setup. Everything you need comes standard, the fit and finish are genuinely impressive, and the jet-drive system keeps maintenance straightforward. The cockpit layout gets particular attention, with a transom area well suited to lounging and a hull that handles chop more predictably than many jet boats we've seen tested.
Performance feels lively for a family runabout. With two people aboard, our owners report confident speeds and responsive acceleration. Carry a full complement of passengers and performance comes down noticeably, as you'd expect from a 19-footer, so families of six or more may find the boat feels snug on longer days out. Fuel economy also eases with more aggressive throttle use.
One ownership note worth knowing: a few second-owner buyers have reported that finding service can take some extra legwork, with some Yamaha dealers prioritizing customers who originally purchased from them. We want buyers going in with clear expectations, so it's worth establishing a solid service relationship from day one.
We hear this often, and the short answer is yes. Several of our owners came to the AR195 as their first boat and found the jet-drive system intuitive, the standard equipment list comprehensive, and the overall ownership experience manageable right from the start.
With two people aboard it feels quick and responsive, but speed and acceleration ease off noticeably with six or more passengers. For a family that regularly boats with a larger group, it is worth knowing the boat works best at moderate loads.
It can handle six people, but our owners and reviewers note the interior starts to feel tight with that many aboard on a regular basis. A family planning to boat frequently with six or more may want to consider a larger hull.
One of the genuine advantages owners point to is how simple the self-draining jet system is to maintain compared to outboard or sterndrive setups. There are no propellers to deal with, and day-to-day operation is straightforward.
Owners who previously had outboard boats do mention the AR195 runs louder at the helm. It is not a dealbreaker for most, but it is a real difference worth being aware of if you are coming from a propeller-driven boat.
A few owners in our community have found that some Yamaha dealers give priority to their original purchasers when it comes to service. We recommend establishing a clear service relationship early so you know exactly where to bring the boat when maintenance is needed.
