It is technically based on the FX SVHO, but comes with a few extras that make it even more attractive for longer trips - especially when travelling in pairs or threes. The cruiser is powered by Yamaha's most powerful engine: a turbocharged 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine with around 250 hp.
The motor responds directly, pushes powerfully and offers plenty of reserves - whether for pulling tubes or simply to put a big grin on your face when accelerating on flat water. Despite the power, the handling remains controlled at all times, even in waves.
A hull for high cruising speeds
The FX hull is long, stable and ideal for high cruising speeds - Yamaha's NanoXcel2 material saves weight. The large deck is a real plus point on longer journeys: there is enough space for moving, stowing and sitting. The three-stage contoured seat bench is typical of a cruiser. It not only offers more support, but also more comfort, especially for passengers.
Waverunner comes with different driving modes
The 7-inch Connext touch display is one of the best on the market: GPS, driving data, an audio system, trim - everything can be operated intuitively. Bluetooth speakers, various driving modes (incl. No Wake), adjustable trim, electronic reverse gear and the tried-and-tested RiDE lever are also included as standard.
