FX Cruiser SVHO in Big Water!

It was day 2 of our trip to St. Petersburg, Florida! We found a perfect spot to hang out and we also found some rough water. See how 3 Yamaha FX Cruiser SVHO's handled the big chop in the Gulf of Mexico, Tampa Bay and the surrounding areas.

[@mantarayasurf]

You guys are a blast! I get good laughs watching your videos! keep it up !

[@TheShipsLogg]

Thanks Tony. I am glad you enjoy them!

[@jordanrosen2042]

Love your videos. I'm picking up my FX Cruiser SVHO next week!

[@TheShipsLogg]

Thanks!! You are about to have a lot of fun!!

[@jimwatson8624]

Great video again. Picking up my FX Cruiser HO up on Saturday. Weather is starting to warm up up here so hopefully I’ll be riding soon.

[@saltymotolbc6003]

The FX series is the best big ocean water craft you can ride. Good choice, good video I hope you continue to share your Yamaha smile with everyone.

[@TheShipsLogg]

Most definitely!! I don't see that smile going away anytime soon!!

[@klo910]

Great video! Picked up my 21 FX Cruiser HO last week, can’t wait for warm weather!

[@TheShipsLogg]

You are going to love it!!

[@erikj7006]

Just got my 2022 FX Cruiser SVHO the other day. I have a camp on a smaller lake in NH. Had a blast the past couple of days in the moderately calm water. I’ll be bringing mine to the North Atlantic in the upcoming weeks-looking to get some better air time!!!Thanks for posting. This was fun to watch.

[@TheShipsLogg]

You are welcome! Enjoy that machine!!

[@v33draft]

I just bought the same Yamaha and new to this so I'm loving your videos down here in Miami. Some time soon I'll trailer over to that side and try the waters

[@jamesmonte675]

You guys convinced me to buy one!!!! Nice videos captain!!

Great trip and video !!! Ft Desoto Ramp is one of my favorite launch areas - wish I would have known you were intown and I would have shown you the trips from Anclote River Ramp to Sarasota Centennial Ramp . With a few side trips to eat at Rod and Reel - Anna Maria Island to Miss Vicki's on the Anclote River , Whiskeys Joes on the Manatee or in Tampa Bay. Heading your way this summer to Lake Lanier and Allatoona. Have a great summer !

[@TheShipsLogg]

You are so right! That is a great ramp. We had such a good time that we will be back. We are doing Allatoona this weekend. We will be sure to let you know when we come back.

[@Aaron.Davis56]

OG on a Ski in CT checking in. You was a recommened vid to watch so it's nice meeting you. I have a 2020 FX SVHO Limited and love it. I have to wait 2 more months before it warms up. Us Ram Mounts to hold your camera. Enjoy my man!

[@TheShipsLogg]

Thanks so much for checking in. I know it is hard having to wait/. Anytime you want o head south for a ride, let us know and we can ride together. I know you love that acceleration on your machine too!! I do!

[@Aaron.Davis56]

@@TheShipsLogg Thanks for the reply and I would like to do that. I have family in ATL and I drive to Florida around Ocala and Dunnellon to visit family and friends. Our water temp is in the low 40s right now

[@vivwriter]

I love your jet ski videos!!! Please do more. I just purchased one and would love to know how you attached that device on the left. Is it a VHF?

[@EmotionRadio]

Nice video. Sorry about the camera. I am shopping for a 2021 FX SVHO. Deciding with model to go with. Any feedback on the models and why you choose the Cruiser would be appreciated.

[@TheShipsLogg]

I chose the Cruiser because I wanted a big machine. I'm a pretty big guy and a small machine just would not work for me. Also, the fact that I plan on doing a lot of long distance riding means a bigger more comfy machine was a must.

[@pizzawarlord9232]

Enjoy your rides

[@TheShipsLogg]

Thanks!!

[@cv2284]

Captain, how do you mount your camera now? I’m thinking about getting the Insta 360 X.3. What do you think of it versus the GoPro? Recommendations?

[@TheShipsLogg]

RAM makes mounts and poles that are compatible with GoPro so that is what I use. I'm currently using a GoPro Max for my 360 video along with a GoPro Hero. Works really well for me.

[@robmorris4168]

that was awesome. go get that cup

[@TheShipsLogg]

Funny thing is that I did not know it was gone until I was back home editing the video! LOL

Thanks. Yeah, someone else told me that as well. Still learning this whole video editing stuff. LOL

[@MelvinRHawkins]

When I upgrade my ski, I plan on riding with your group.

[@TheShipsLogg]

That would be awesome but you don't have to wait for an upgrade. If you have a ski now, come out and join us!

[@TheShipsLogg]

@@MelvinRHawkins I don't think you would have much of a problem. Sure, we open it up every once in a while but it is usually for short periods. Most of the time, we are running at 40 mph or less.

[@dproulx7380]

@@MelvinRHawkins didn’t look like they were riding WOT !!! The more the merrier when it comes to riding pwc !!!

[@AdamJonasBuffalo]

Hey bro I’m thinking about getting one of these if your riding by yourself, tearing it up can you get decent air?

[@TheShipsLogg]

to be honest, I am not much of a wave jumper but I can tell you that I have gotten some good air simply by accident. I am sure if I were actually trying to, I could have gotten some serious air time!

[@donaldwest9103]

Loved it!!! Besides slowing down were there any adjustments made (standing up, tilt, trim...etc.) to how you rode in the rougher water. I'll be riding in Narragansett Bay, off Newport, and out to Block Island (same model-R+W). I'm sure the learning curve will be quick. Sorry about the camera. Now, losing the hat would have been a whole other story. Looks like a bit of history goes with that hat. Thanks for posting. Always enjoy your videos.

[@TheShipsLogg]

Adjusting the trim does help a bit if the ride gets too wet but it does get to a point where the waves get big enough and you are just going to get wet. I have to admit that I honestly forgot to adjust it many times because I was just having too much fun. You are right about the hat. Losing it would have been worse. I guess I realized it too. I have a tether for my hat if it happens to blow off. I did not have one for that camera! LOL!

[@donaldwest9103]

@@TheShipsLogg How do like the Garmin? Which model? 78s?

[@TheShipsLogg]

@@donaldwest9103 Its a Garmin 78SC. It worked really well for a compact handheld and the battery life is quite good. Of course, a larger screen would be nice but then it would not be a compact handheld then. LOL

[@marcaveli2012]

Sup Cap Frank! Love your videos! Expecting my Ski in this month sometime. Perhaps I can hook up with your group. Speaking of "Big Chop"... do you know of any nice chill places on Lake Lanier?

[@TheShipsLogg]

That would be awesome. We tend to hang out at Margaritaville a lot but it can get busy there. The nice thing I like about Lake Lanier is that if you really want to chill, there are a lot of quiet coves you can chill out in as well. Hope to see you on the water!

[@3511104]

Greetings, I see that you have a phone holder that goes in the cup holder. Does it work for a GoPro too? Can you send me the link to buy?

[@TheShipsLogg]

Actually, that is a mount for a handheld Garmin GPS that I used to have. It came with the GPS and I mounted it on my ski.

It's a good size. One of the biggest you can buy. 3 seater. Over 11 feet long and 4 feet wide.

[@user-ei9vx9hr4x]

How crowded is the fxsvho for taller riders

[@TheShipsLogg]

I'm 6'8'" and it works well for me. The regular seat is better than the cruiser seat because it's easier to slide back as far as you want .
