Yamaha Waverunners Compared! GP1800R vs FX - What Separates Sport & Luxury Out on the Water?

We compare two different types of Yamaha Waverunner. On the one hand you have the GP1800R, meant for thrills on the water thanks to impressive handling. Then you have the Waverunner FX, a large luxury cruiser that provides stability and loads of technology and convenience features.
Which would you buy? Let us know below.

I have the 2023 GP1800r HO and what you said about fatigue is 100% true, after a day of hard riding you feel like you have been run over by a train. But I still love how fun it is, that’s why we have PWC in the first place is fun!!

[@O-Hymark]

When the water is choppy you're going to be happy you got the big comfy cruiser. The bigger platform on the back makes it a much more useful machine. All that speed is unnecessary but I'm sure it's nice to have. Dark coloured wave runner? No thanks, bright colours for me , I'm not looking to get hit by any boats.

I couldn't have said it better. I compared them all and had a deposit on two FXHOs. By the time I bought them, floating docks and all the rest it was over 50k. I passed

[@TTVinbreadYT]

I have the 2023 fxsxho and before buying I was concerned about the dark colors but as long as you're not out after dark you should be visible enough to any boats thanks to Yamaha's rooster tail that gets shot up behind you.

I’m 60 years old, I wanted a machine that was fast, I told my salesman I wanted a waverunner that could peel the paint off an oil tanker, he sold me a GP1800R SVHO, I questioned weather I was biting more then I could chew but now it’s been three years, I’ve never been beaten in a race by any other machine, I’ve never seen another GP where I go, the acceleration and cornering is amazing, 0 to 70mph right now, hang on hard, turn and do 70mph the opposite direction before you can blink, I love the GP and now I’m looking at buying another one. So much fun. If you want luxury, buy some slow boat.

Why do a comparison between a supercharged fx vs a Non supercharged gp1800 that was stupid

[@AddictionForAdrenaline]

Right! 😂😂 I was just about to comment that. I have a 23 gp supercharged at I got it to 72 mph before, perfect conditions, but usually it’s likes 69 funny enough

[@nancyradecki1341]

Very helpful and well done comparison. TY!

[@tkpowersports]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Ethan-rl8bf]

Not sure where to ask this so I'm commenting on different videos. Should I get the FX cruiser or just FX? I'll be in the ocean and also riding long distance (not getting a SVHO). I also don't care about color because I'll be wrapping it. Thanks in advance to anyone who replies.

[@jackf3619]

Cruiser for sure

[@jerrychase4177]

16 ft SxS 4 seater with SVHO 4 Cylinder Turbo Charged Engine with Dry Deck Block to withstand 50 plus PSI of Boost and 2 Stage Jet Drive...

[@timshull59]

Could you pull a skier with 1800r HO?

[@stevencurtiss7347]

Without a doubt!

[@tommymak8885]

Is the VX Cruiser HO a good medium between the two?

[@jacob_Billeisen]

Yes, I have one and it’s amazing!

[@Alex-gt2qf]

smart, let’s compare a NA “sport” ski VS a luxury superchagred ski

[@jackhammer2671]

Like with cars and trucks the price of PWC's are ridiculous...no way is it worth near $27k and then tag on the HST and you're almost in the mid $30k area which is insane...I bought my wife a new Honda Civic last year and it was only $2000 more than this FX which makes zero sense to me.

[@tkpowersports]

Good point - however we find the Civic just doesn’t float well

[@ALMX5DP]

Good point, what makes these PWCs and SxSs so expensive? Just economies of scale differences to mass produced road vehicles?

[@tee4222]

The civic doesn’t have a high performance supercharged marine engine. Plus the ski puts out almost double the hp

[@Hunter-ex2sw]

Have owned Yamaha my entire life. Time for change. Pick up my first sea doo tomorrow

[@joeyseabrook9765]

What a terrible comparison. Should’ve used the GP1800R SVHO in this video.

[@seethingsclearlyawaken3424]

I have owned a lot of dirt bikes in my life, and have never seen a dirt bike with such a wide seat. So what are you talking about? I don't want a personal watercraft for obese people. I want one for normal sized people. Also, that drag race seems kind of slow. I would want a personal watercraft that is faster than these two. Probably a Kawasaki Jet Ski!
