Yamaha Boats 212SD 2022 vs Yamaha SX210 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Yamaha Boats 212SD 2022 vs Yamaha SX210 2008 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Yamaha Boats 212SD 2022 at 21,3 ft versus Yamaha SX210 2008 at 21,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Yamaha Boats 212SD 2022 tips the scales at 3 749 lbs — 947 lbs more than the Yamaha SX210 2008 at 2 802 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The Yamaha Boats 212SD 2022 carries a rated maximum of 250 hp. Engine data for the Yamaha SX210 2008 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.

If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Yamaha SX210 2008 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Yamaha SX210 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 9 passengers and at 21,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Yamaha Boats 212SD 2022 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
