Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Yamaha 232 Limited S 2009 vs Yamaha WaveRunner EX Limited 2022 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Yamaha 232 Limited S 2009 vs Yamaha WaveRunner EX Limited 2022 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.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Yamaha WaveRunner EX Limited 2022 is rated for 37 passengers, while the Yamaha 232 Limited S 2009 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Yamaha WaveRunner EX Limited 2022 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Yamaha WaveRunner EX Limited 2022 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 37 passengers and at 123,6 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Yamaha 232 Limited S 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
