How Fast Is the Yamaha 255XD? Full Performance Test + Features Review

The Yamaha 255XD isn’t just a wake boat—it’s the result of Yamaha’s refined design philosophy, rooted in Kando, the Japanese concept of delivering both performance and emotional satisfaction. Powered by twin supercharged 1.8L SVHO engines with a combined 500 horsepower, the 255XD channels that energy through Yamaha’s jet propulsion system, enhanced by E-Series® throttle control and an integrated Wakebooster® system. But there’s more to this flagship than wakesurfing. A 12.3" Connext® touchscreen, premium fit and finish, and an intuitive helm layout make it just as comfortable for a full day on the lake with family and friends.
