I appreciate that you show yourself getting back onto the pwc from the water. I am a much larger person and that is something that I have to consider.

[@pajamatime5750]

PWC content coupled with your reviewing style is great!! Keep ‘em coming gents!

[@3-2-1-.]

Taking this out in smooth to light chop water conditions is like riding a cruiser motorcycle on the highway. Pure comfort. Set the cruise and enjoy the view. I used to ride crotch rockets when I was young, and never felt comfortable with my feet in front of my body on a bike. It's my favorite way to ride this. Not to mention no traffic or objects to get in my way. I'm loving it! It will still throw you off if you do something stupid. I haven't, but I can feel that it will. I appreciate the info on the rooster tail. I thought it was a pee hole, but there is another stream that comes out of the left, port, side at foot level, too. That must be the real water pump discharge hole.

[@cary67]

Nice enhancements. I have a pair of the 2021 FX Cruiser HOs. That new rear deck is super sweet, as are the tie down points on the handlebars! Would love to have those. Hard to overstate how cool and useful the speed control is, especially out on the ocean. These things are sea worthy for sure. My wife and I drove ours from Oceanside to San Onofre and back last weekend - about 20 miles along the coast each way. We've also had them out off San Diego when the ground swell was 8 feet + and it was absolutely rad. "Confident" is 100% the right word. Our next adventure is Long Beach to Catalina.

[@R.Nelson]

Good morning Truck King!!! Happy Canada day!!!🇨🇦

[@garymarch4711]

What newer PWC is "Flickable" but also decent for cruising bigger waters like the Gulf of Mexico (Not that big of waves... but choppy at times). I'm in my mid 40's... I like to ride aggressively... but after jumping and cutting a while, my body reminds me of my age lol. At that point, I like to cruise.

[@robertbarel896]

take the vx - little smaller (10'' less 131 vs 141 ) and lighter and very steady and more fun especially if you want to do some fun stuff in the water .

[@NWI_Steel]

Agreed!

[@BADBADGER18]

I got to borrow one of these for a few hours. It had the same hight output motor but without all the luxury bits that weigh it down. I was able to hit 57mph on choppy water no problem and it was really fun to throw around. One thing is though this machine is THIRSTY. It took 5 gallons in just a couple hours. It was wide open most of the time so thats why.

[@garybucci5186]

try a Kawi 250 Ultra, I went through 25 gallons of 91 oct in a weekend with only a few hours usage. terrible and about the same top speed and way more maintinance.

[@DVeck89]

2.5gph is actually quite good for a PWC

[@michaelbonneville8832]

Love your videos!! Do you know if the GP1800R HO 2023 glove box comes with the phone charging port and light?

[@mikegomes81]

It doesnt. The fx and vx ho does.

[@JohnDoe-po2ww]

The best top speed so far for me is 62mph. That's with two people riding(370lbs of people weight with the heavier person, 250lbs me, on the back,) 1/4 of a quart of oil short from full, and the trim in the middle. The water wasn't glass either. If the oil is completely full then it knocks off about 1-2 mph. If I am riding by myself, then I also lose another 1 mph. Dumb gallons used counter reset every time the ski and screen are turned off. Yes, there is a fuel gauge but that kinda stinks for most boats and PWCs. The middle console is not waterproof during a rollover, in my case anyway.

[@3-2-1-.]

I concur. I can't get mine past 60, but that is plenty fast for me. I'm usually cruising between 25 and 30, anyway. I didn't want crazy speed, or else I would have gone with a supercharger. If I keep out of the throttle, these things will cruise all day on one tank of fuel. It sounds great without the supercharger. IMO.

[@paulinebelanger9707]

Loved the video..where do I find out more information..ie..how to turn off accessory ...etc. however thank you!

[@mrbubbakush]

How does this do in heavy chop / ocean ?

[@christopherduby5330]

The cup holders are for relaxing floating around with an ice cold bev

[@imathreat209]

Maybe I'm bias. I find the seadoo GTX series to be a bit better. I think the large storage is better, more accessible. Also, the cup holders are on the side on the GTX, not right infront of you. One last thing is the latter. Yeah the FX has a longer latter, but the GTX latter self folds after usage.

[@craighudson4382]

I prefer the seadoo models too. They feel a lot more “sporty” than the Yamaha’s. I always thought you sit in a seadoo, and on top of a Yamaha. That front storage bin is tiny compared to the GTX’s and even smaller compared to GTI’s . BRPs audio is awesome too. Hard pass for that price tag. It’s a nice PWC, just about 5k over priced.

[@LukeRT]

The only thing not there is the price point, just like the jet blaster. The spark broke out big for being a fun little ride while at the time having a low price point. This really offers nothing at its high price point. And yes I get the spark is expensive now but when it first broke out to capture a fan base it was cheap.

[@timshull59]

Whats the difference between the FX HO and the Cruiser HO,is it just the seat?

Loving the dirty mo!

[@scottvickery2057]

I've got to start a Go Fund Me page for one of these..lol

[@robertbarel896]

and one more thing - the stream that comes from the back is for you to know that there is water coming out from your jet and nothing is blocking the intake (seaweed and such ) the spray on the side of the jet ski as shown in 6:17 is the cooling water comin out from the engine . you have to check these two streams all the time to know that water flows into the jetski engine and that there is cooling to the engine - if you don't see them - there is some problem so shut off the engine and try to check what is blocking the intake underneath the jetski .

[@stevegiron8825]

The rear water spray is Yamaha's "Visisbility Spout"

[@robertbarel896]

@@stevegiron8825 it shows as I said that water flows through the impeller and the jet unit . no water? you know there something blocking the jet . it's not so people will see you are riding the jetski - thats nonsense

[@stevegiron8825]

@@robertbarel896 Partially incorrect. The back stream was put there by Yamaha and designated as the "Yamaha Visibility Spout" They put that feature there for safety. While you can deduce other information from it, it's there as a safety feature only.

[@sparke1999]

Thinking of ordering a 2024 fx Ho or a gtx 230 but I might slip down to a gtr 230 or vx ho. The price for the fx is just too steep. 23k after tax and no trailer. I think if ur paying that price for a ski a trailer should be included.

The Riva ride plate and ribbon delete are my only mods but handling is way better and 180’s are much better!

[@aceofspades6667]

maybe for offshore riding from Miami to Bimini this would be sweet. Pretty much everywhere else I'd take a GPR1800R SVHO with Stage 1+ from Riva. Love Yammy's products though and to a lesser extent Sea Doo.

[@Steve-yr5vi]

I have a 2013 FX Cruiser HO, my regular play ground is the Chesapeake Bay, I'm not sure what to think about water that flat, I know I'd appreciate it especially when performing tow sports, but I think I'd get bored. Here on any given day best case is a 1' chop, average is 2', and 3'+ is more frequent than 1', we do have times when the water is flat but this phenomenon is measured in hours, often followed by a violent storm. The new features are nice, it may be time to upgrade though I'll say, the 2013 has held up beautifully. Specifically, the changes I like, in order are the electronic transmission control, electronic speed control, the rec deck, the move of the flush port, the removable able tote / storage. The touchscreen? I'll reserve judgement until I have one, for now, my view is "ehh". FYI I can hit 68mph on the 2013 FX on 1' seas, in my experience completely calm water is not necessary to hit the top speed on these things, no question you hit the top speed for your body weight. For reference; I weigh a tad more than half what you do. I am big fan of the FX Cruiser, it's an adventurer or an adult's ride, what you want if you're gonna be out in rough water on a regular basis, handles tow sports nearly as well as dedicated tow PWC's. I also have a 2022 GTR 230 which I love but it's more for playing, not my choice to take across the bay on a rough (2'-3'+) day, though I have done that. Most people come over and think they like the GTR better, leave preferring the FX Cruiser. In my opinion, if you have room for 2 PWC's on your pier a sport model and a luxury model are good compliments. Come down and do a Chesapeake edition; ride on the bay and your opinion of what is fun on a PWC will change forever. FYI: if top speed is most currently the most important trait of a PWC to you; give riding rough water a try, there are days I'm out that I cannot maintain 30 mph, but it's a lot of fun, completely changes the definition of a good time on a PWC. Riding rough water brings justifiable fear and adrenaline into the equation, if you've never experienced that, give it a try.

[@nicka8583]

the cruise control has been stupid / and continues to be... if you are riding in a chop, your hand for a split second loses grip on the handle, then you squeeze it again except now the cruise control has been disabled and when you squeeze the throttle the thing flies from underneath you.. very dangerous.. there has to be a way to make it work differently like on a car

[@peteuncle2935]

Ok, i know I'm a Kawasaki guy, but what a joke this thing was for top speed run! Not only is it slow, but it's nearly flying out of the water with almost no chop on the water at those low speeds. Haha, the Ultra just cuts thru any water you point it at.

[@concernedcitizen2187]

When a person weighs in at 275lbs +, do the 90 and 130hp PWC's struggle to get up to speed, or should you aim at something 170 and up?

@@concernedcitizen2187 A 130 would be totally fine. If you are going with a Seadoo the GTI 170 was a great machine for my family. I’m a big guy to and with me and two kids she’d hit max speed of 55mph…. That’s as fast as that machine would go as I believe it was governed to 55mph. You’ll be fine with a 130 but I would suggest the 160-180 range for max fun! the GTI 170 I had would take me, a spotter and still pull a 220lbs skier out of the water no problem! I sold it and got a ‘22 Kawi 310 though now.

[@Steve-yr5vi]

[@daver5873]

I recently purchased a 2022 VX with extended warranty $17,000 purchase, great machine, everything they said it would be, at 6.5 hours the check engine light came on, while flushing it out in my driveway, I took it to a local authorized dealer and was charged $150 because the "code" didn't indicate a manufacture defect, after speaking with Yamaha Corp and they did an excellent song and dance routine, I am now concerned that Yamaha does not stand by their product. I should have purchased the Ski-Doo.

[@craigc9975]

What did the dealer say the defect code was?

[@daver5873]

@@craigc9975 They said it was scu code #159, Ride motor IBR code, after speaking with Yamaha they indicated it was kind of a bogus code, the tech wrote down "loose battery cable", I went back to Yamaha and asked how a $17,000 Waverunner with 6.5 hrs had a "loose battery" they said it was a problem in prep before I picked up the Ski and I should not have been charged since this was a dealer prep problem not a user problem, I still have not received a refund. I'm not as concerned about the $150 as I am the extremely poor customer service from the service center and the song and dance from Yamaha Corp. I have no confidence Yamaha will stand behind their product or their authorized dealers, I really regret buying the extended warranty. The upside, the ski is great until I have a problem.

[@craigc9975]

Had the same problem with my brand new ‘19 VX - It died out in the middle of the lake. The machine as totally dead. I figured it was a fuse or battery. I gave the battery cable a wiggle (not easy to do in the middle of a lake - lol) and sure enough, super loose. I tightened it enough by hand to get me back in. Called the dealer to convey my displeasure.

If you include the best possible adm of 600, plus their y.e.s warranty your 20k estimate is extremely close. 23-25k out the door is now typical in the states with some dealers selling 30% over asking and people will pay it without hesitation
