I think that plastic saving cost piece under the seat of the EX line makes it look cheap. Yamaha used it to save cost in the EX line. Now Yamaha wants to use similar cheap plastic parts on the upper models. Definitely looks cheap and the Waverunners are more every year. I think it's a loss for consumers.

Literally not the reason whatsoever, Paul. The reason for the "upper deck" panel is to permit a narrow seat without losing the size of the engine access port. In fact, the upper deck panel allows for a LARGER access port, just like what Sea-Doo has done. Better for mechanics, better for rider ergonomics. And you can paint it, if you want.

@@watercraftjournal Yes it can be painted, but then it should be painted at the factory and the benefits you mentioned will still be achieved. As a consumer I don't want to pay to paint the plastic when I buy a new Waverunner. That is additional cost I should not have to pay for. I have had Waverunners since 2005 and now a 2019 VXR. Never had to paint it to correct a part that looks like cheap plastic because they didn't have it until the EX line. I just see it as cheap looking plastic. It is used to cut cost and it's obvious, just look at Sea-Doos' Spark line. The Sea-Doo Spark was made out of plastic to offer a cheap PWC and so was the EX line. It looks cheap in any PWC, it's cost cutting and the Waverunners are not lower in price. I will not buy a Waverunner with plastic in the future if that is the way Yamaha is going to continue to make them.

You need a racing license to buy jet skis? So stupid, this is why they're not suppose to be making ridiculous license on things.

That was the only way people in EPA restrictive states could purchase the 2-stroke SuperJet.
