The Latest ​Jet Ski news & Boat news

​New for 2017 is the Yamaha EX WaveRunner® Series designed for buyers seeking an affordable entry to the sport of personal watercraft, but demand the durability, reliability and quality that only Yamaha can deliver.

​Included in the EX Series are the EX, EX Sport and EX Deluxe. These models are shorter in length, lighter in weight, and more affordable than any three-person WaveRunner that Yamaha has offered in the past. However, the EX Series is manufactured with the same durable materials and high level of craftsmanship that Yamaha is renowned for. The result is a fun, exciting Rec Lite WaveRunner that families can enjoy for years.

​The EX is powered by Yamaha’s award-winning TR-1 three-cylinder marine engine that is 40 percent smaller in size, 20 percent lighter in weight and provides better fuel economy than Yamaha’s previous four-cylinder Yamaha MR-1 engine. Feeding this engine is a 13-gallon fuel tank that is nearly double the capacity of competitive models in the Rec Lite category. 

Under the waterline is an all-new hull design that is manufactured to precise tolerances. This lightweight SMC hull delivers excellent stability for one, two or three-up riding and towing, and precise responsiveness and predictability for thrilling one-up riding.

​There is not another hull in the Rec Lite category that offers as much fun, excitement, stability, and versatility

On the handlebars, the EX Deluxe includes Yamaha’s RiDE® system, the industry’s first dual handlebar throttle controls that deliver the utmost control moving forward or in reverse.

RiDE is the most intuitive driving experience on the water. Squeeze the right handlebar lever to go forward. Squeeze the left lever for reverse. At speed, the left handlebar lever will also slow you down. Release both right and left levers and the watercraft is in neutral. No shifting. No gears. The only thing to think about is how much fun it is to RiDE.

​Assembled in the United States with the same attention to detail and craftsmanship that Yamaha WaveRunners are renowned for, the new EX Series delivers affordability and durability in a new and exciting way.

With its defined hull strakes, soft bow chines, and race infused keel shape, this hull
delivers excellent stability and precise responsiveness and predictability for a thrilling
riding experience.

​On the handlebars, the GP1800 includes Yamaha’s award-winning RiDE® system, the
industry’s first dual handlebar throttle controls that deliver the utmost control moving
forward or in reverse.
RiDE is the most intuitive driving experience on the water. Squeeze the right handlebar
lever to go forward. Squeeze the left lever for reverse. At speed, the left handlebar lever
will also slow you down. Release both right and left levers and the watercraft is in
neutral. No shifting. No gears. The only thing to think about is how much fun it is to
RiDE.
And like all world-class vehicles, the quality, craftsmanship, and overall styling are
nothing less than stunning. The look of the GP1800 is a combination of symmetry,
balance and sleek flow made possible by Yamaha’s closed-molded process that creates
smooth, exact parts every time. There are no ribs or structural inconsistencies that show
through the finished product. Finally, Yamaha’s industry-leading metallic paint gives the
GP1800 a striking look that no other manufacturer can match.
The GP1800 is a winner designed for winners. For buyers seeking the utmost
performance direct from the factory, the Yamaha GP1800 is the first and only choice.
