At 19 feet, 6 inches long and with an 8 foot beam, the LS2000 seats seven adults, making it a viable alternative to conventionally powered runabouts of the same size.
The LS2000 is powered by twin 135 hp, 1,131cc Yamaha marine engines with dual 155mm Hyper-Flow pumps and stainless steel, progressive-pitch impellers. These three-cylinder powerplants have triple Mikuni carburetors that ensure smooth throttle response at any speed.
We found that riding in the LS2000 was almost as much fun as driving it. While it may seat fewer people than other bowriders of a comparable size, the LS2000 does offer some of the most comfortable seating around. The highly sculpted ergonomic seating areas are all designed to accommodate full-size adults -- even the ones in the bow -- which is more than we can say for some runabouts.
The seating arrangement features two custom bucket swivel seats that are fully adjustable, two seats in the bow and a rear lounge. Each of the seating areas also has its own grab handles so that all passengers will feel secure.
The fully instrumented helm has automotive-like styling reminiscent of a sports car with dual rear-view mirrors and gauges that display speed, engine rpms, fuel and oil levels. The bilge blower, bilge pump and light switches and dual engine controls are all within easy reach.
Dual articulating windshields protect cockpit passengers from excess wind and integrated drink holders are located near each seating area.
The LS2000’s roomy design features five storage areas including a bow anchor locker, storage in the helm and companion consoles, a large capacity ski/kneeboard locker, an engine storage tray under the sunpad and a stern clean-out tray.
On the generously sized swim platform there is also access to both jet pumps’ clean-out feature, making it very easy to remove obstructions should you suck up any weeds. And the self-retracting swim ladder makes it a snap to reboard.
