Easy to use and quite intuitive, the Connext® system features the 3.0 Touchscreen.## Boat Inspection

One of the things you first notice about any Yamaha boat is the turnkey profile it presents. With a short list of optional equipment, the cutting-edge 255 FSH Sport H is ready to deliver exciting on-water action.

## Bow

With extended seating forward, the wide bow area is well-suited for taller guests and family members. Fully forward is a dedicated anchor and line locker with a gas-assisted ram for easy opening.

 ![Yamaha 255 FSH Sport H hatch cover](/sites/default/files/Yamaha-255-FSH-Sport-H-hatch-4-1-24_0.png)





The turn-and-locking hatch cover is rubberized non-skid. ![Yamaha 255 FSH Sport H danforth anchor](/sites/default/files/Yamaha-255-FSH-Sport-H-danforth-anchor-storage-4-1-24.png)





The Danforth anchor easily fits in its slot and is held in place by keepers. Yamaha has provided a notch for the anchor rode to pass through.Knowing that there can never be enough storage aboard, Yamaha has utilized every spare inch of space on the 255 FSH Sport H, as seen with the large hatch in the bow deck for access to a handy storage space.

 ![Yamaha 255 FSH Sport H seating in the bow area](/sites/default/files/Yamaha-255-FSH-Sport-H-bow-seating-4-1-24.png)





Comfortable seating is found in the bow area. ![Yamaha 255 FSH Sport H bow features including livewell, seating, rod holders, storage cabinet](/sites/default/files/Yamaha-255-FSH-Sport-H-bow-features-4-1-24.png)





Other bow features include an insulated 18-gallon (68 L) livewell to port, forward-facing seating for two in front of the console, rod holders to either side, a storage cabinet to starboard, and a bow filler casting platform/table. The casting platform has an insulated fishbox on the starboard side. ![Yamaha 255 FSH Sport H cushions and table](/sites/default/files/Yamaha-255-FSH-Sport-H-lounge-4-1-24.png)





Yamaha also took care of the comfort factor by providing cushions and a table for those times when family and friends are aboard. Note the recessed grabs on either side of the lounges.## Console and Helm

Yamaha’s advanced technology is not limited to its engineering prowess but expands to its innovative use of space as shown in the forward half of the ‘convertible’ console which smoothly transforms the two-person seat into a single-person changing room, head, or additional storage.

 ![Yamaha 255 FSH Sport H console seat](/sites/default/files/Yamaha-255-FSH-Sport-H-console-seat-4-1-24.png)





One easy motion is all it takes to lift the front half of the console seat for use as single person changing room, head, or additional storage. In addition, there is access to the back of the helm for servicing the electronics and other equipment. Note the trio of rod holders at the base of the hardtop.The aforementioned Connext® Information System is one of many features offered at the helm. Just to the left of the stainless wheel, with steering knob and tilt base, is found the one-button start/stop control. The throttle controls are to the right of the wheel as well as the row of switches, which light up when activated. A cell phone holder is also provided along with a 12-inch Simrad electronics screen.

The finished and powder-coated fiberglass hardtop provides nice shade for the driver and has a row of rocket launchers, a glass windshield, fore and aft spreader lights, cutouts for longer rods stowed in side-mounted rod holders, and handholds to either side with finger-grips for ease of use. A double-wide helm seat easily converts to a bolstered leaning post with contoured backs and just below the seat is space for a large cooler which is easily secured there. In addition, the helm also features a locking compartment and an open one.

 ![Yamaha 255 FSH Sport H helm with controls](/sites/default/files/Yamaha-255-FSH-Sport-H-helm-4-1-24.png)





The helm is well laid out with all controls, switches, and other critical operational features all within easy reach. ![Yamaha 255 FSH Sport H Helm Master EX joystick controller](/sites/default/files/Yamaha-255-FSH-Sport-H-helm-master-ex-joystick-controller-4-1-24.png)





The Helm Master EX joystick controller is a premier, first time addition on a jet boat. ![Yamaha 255 FSH Sport H cell phone holder and Simrad screen](/sites/default/files/Yamaha-255-FSH-Sport-H-phone-holder-simrad-screen-4-1-24.png)





From left to right is the Connext® touchscreen, the cell phone holder, and the 12-inch Simrad screen. Below the screen and cell phone holder are the toggle switches which light up when activated. ![Yamaha 255 FSH Sport H helm seats](/sites/default/files/Yamaha-255-FSH-Sport-H-helm-seats-4-1-24.png)





Seating for two in the comfortable helm seats, with flip-up bolsters, offer the driver and companion excellent sightlines into the seaway. ![Yamaha 255 FSH Sport H cooler](/sites/default/files/Yamaha-255-FSH-Sport-H-cooler-4-1-24.png)





Utilizing space is key aboard and this cooler, properly secured under the helm seat, is just one aspect of this boat’s design. ![Yamaha 255 FSH Sport T-top](/sites/default/files/Yamaha-255-FSH-Sport-H-t-top-4-1-24.png)





The T-top is fully integrated into the console and those cut-outs are for tall fishing rods to fit into with rod holders at the bottom. ![Yamaha 255 FSH Sport glass windshield](/sites/default/files/Yamaha-255-FSH-Sport-H-windshield-4-1-24.png)





Instead of Isinglass or plastic, the 255 FSH Sport H has a glass windshield.## Cockpit, Transom, and Fishing Amenities

Designed and engineered for exciting fishing opportunities, the 255 FSH Sport H has a 111-gallon fuel tank and is powered by a pair of 1.9L, supercharged, high output marine engines. Known for its patented jet propulsion expertise, Yamaha has replaced it 1812cc, high output motors used in past model with this 1898cc, four-stroke, four-cylinder, 16-valve powerhouse possessing a combined 500-hp.

Along with its new power, this boat boasts in excess of 25 rod holders/storage, four under each gunwale, with combination drink/rod holders, convenient tackle storage drawers, a cockpit depth of 33-inches, an aft casting platform which easily transforms into a seating area, integrated swim platform, 30-gallon, aerated livewell, and muti-level transom with cushioned seatbacks and a stern lounge.

 ![Yamaha 255 FSH Sport H rod holders](/sites/default/files/Yamaha-255-FSH-Sport-H-rod-holders-4-1-24.png)





Rod holders on each side of the console are just a fraction of the total on board. ![Yamaha 255 FSH Sport H livewell](/sites/default/files/Yamaha-255-FSH-Sport-H-livewell-4-1-24.png)





A 30-gallon aerated livewell is located on the port transom. ![Yamaha 255 FSH Sport H beam aft](/sites/default/files/Yamaha-255-FSH-Sport-H-beam-aft-4-1-24.png)





Taking full advantage of the beam aft, the entire stern can be used as a casting platform. ![Yamaha 255 FSH Sport H aft full cushions](/sites/default/files/Yamaha-255-FSH-Sport-H-aft-cushions-4-1-24.png)





With full cushions in place aft, the 255 FSH Sport H is perfect for coastal cruising. ![Yamaha 255 FSH Sport H swim platform](/sites/default/files/Yamaha-255-FSH-Sport-H-swim-platform-4-1-24_0.png)





A great place to take in the surroundings while at anchor, the integrated swim platform offers two levels to enjoy.## Summary

Yamaha is far from the typical brand and with its innovative approach to design, engineering, and purpose-built boats, the company continues to offer its products equipped with all that an owner would want. With the 255 FSH Sport H, occupying the flagship position of its center console line up, this jet-powered, fully found, speedster fulfills the needs of both fishing enthusiasts and family time out on the water.
