Hold onto to your hats, because Yamaha is bringing some serious style to their 2006 WaveRunner line-up! While black is the main color choice, you'll also find some sleek white hulls with silver and gold accents. But that's not all - Yamaha has made some major cosmetic and ergonomic improvements, including a larger hood and "automotive" dashboard for certain models. They're all about giving customers a riding experience, not just a ride.
The FX line now features wider mirrors and convenient cup holders for added comfort, while the XLT and GP800 have been retired from the product line. But fear not, the beloved SuperJet is back for its 11th year, unchanged and ready to ride. So don't wait - head to the Yamaha WaveRunner website at www.yamaha-motor.com for all the details on their bold and beautiful 2006 line-up!

Yamaha's jet boat lineup got bigger by two boats for 2005. The new SX230 High Output (H.O.) and AR230 H.O. each pack twin MR-1 1052cc four-cylinder four-stroke engines that pump out an estimated 320 hp. For comparison, the non-H.O. SX230 and AR230 each have 998cc four-cylinder four-stroke mills with an estimated 280 hp. The 23-foot SX230 H.O. is classified into Yamaha's bowrider lineup. It seats 10 people and is based on the SX230. The SX230 H.O. comes with a 36-quart built-in ice chest, ergonmically designed bucket seats and a new No Wake Mode that sets the engine rpm to no wake speed with a simple touch of a button. The manufacturers suggested retail price is $32,499. The new AR230 H.O., meanwhile, is Yamaha's new high-output wakeboard boat, and is based on the AR230. Like the SX230 H.0., the 23-foot, 10-person capacity AR230 H.O. comes with a No Wake Mode that limits engine rpm to no wake speed at the touch of a button. Other features include a 36-quart built-in ice chest, bucket seats, dual engine control and more. The suggested retail price is $34,999. There were small changes to the remainder of the 2005 lineup, which include newly designed seats and upgraded carpet in the SX230 and AR230. The LX210 and AR210 return with a new graphics scheme.
Leading Yamaha’s personal watercraft lineup for 2005 are two all-new low-price PWC and a few changes across its lineup. The big news, perhaps, is the addition of the VX110 ($6,999) and VX110 Deluxe ($7,699), which Yamaha says offer low-price fun with high-price features. While the VX series are the new kids on the block, a few changes have been made to some returning PWC. The GP1300R gets a horsepower increase to 170 ponies. The FX Cruiser and FX Cruiser H.O. are outfitted with a new three-point contact system. There’s a new seat with hip support, foot chocks and raised handlebars. Other returning PWC for Yamaha include the FX High Output, FX, XLT1200, GP800R and SuperJet. The new VX110 and VX110 Deluxe watercraft are powered by a new four-cylinder four-stroke engine that’s based on Yamaha’s MR-1 mill. The 1052cc four-cylinder, five valve per cylinder powerplant pumps out 110 hp. It also has a new throttle body. The power is transferred to a new high-pressure pump that Yamaha says is more efficient, which offers better "hook up, acceleration and speed." A new driveline and reverse mechanism was designed as well. The reverse handle is located on the right side of the hull in Yamaha’s traditional location. What also sets the VX series PWC apart from other Yamaha watercraft is the hull and deck. The bow has more curve to it, and there’s an extended rear platform for re-boarding and relaxing. Ergonomically, the driver seating position is moved forward 4 inches compared to other Yamaha watercraft. The seat also is contoured for each passenger and has grab handles for the rear passenger. The VX110 Sport and Deluxe get several features that can be reserved for high-end models. Those features include a speedometer, hour meter, fuel gauge, off-throttle steering and an insulated cup holder. They also have 17.2 gallons of storage space and a 15.9-gallon fuel capacity. The Deluxe version gets more goodies, which include mirrors, a remote transmitter, low rpm mode, a security lock and a red or blue colored deck. The remote transmitter allows users to activate or de-activate the security system.
