I Restored a 30+ Year Old Jet Ski - Yamaha Waveblaster!

In this edition of drinking beer in the afternoon I take you on a tour of my 3 years in the works PWC restoration. Yamaha Waveblaster. Commonly known as a WB1 to enthusiasts.

Did you have to modify the hull for the waveraider nozzle? Doesn't the horn for the cable hit the hull? Can you give an idea how you did this? Cool ski!

I cut down the horn until it fit basically, bit of trial and error, No mods to hull. About an inch and a half then re-drilled/tapped. I’m running mine static like the 08+ superjet just to add a few degrees to the nozzle. If you’re looking to have dynamic trim you can run a bike brake cable through your siphon bilge line without removing it. I have a video on that setup specifically. Cheers!
