YAMAHA 2020 WAVERUNNERS

Written by

SEVERAL POPULAR MODELS have been reintroduced to Yamaha’s WaveRunner 2020 line-up, along with bold and exciting new colour and styling options across the range.

The popular 2019 FX WaveRunner series introduced touchscreen displays, footwell drains and redesigned performance hulls with powerful 1.8-litre marine engines. For 2020 Yamaha will offer all five FX model variants across the luxury performance range.

“This year we have added the FX Limited SVHO (Super Vortex High Output) to the range, with additional pull-up cleats and a head-turning black and electric-blue finish,” said Pete Dick, Marketing & Communications Manager – Marine.

Yamaha’s GP1800R supercharged and VXR naturally-aspirated race performance range has been rebadged. With both craft now sharing an identical race-ready hull and body platform, they will be known as the GP1800R SVHO (Super Vortex High Output) and the GP1800R HO (High Output) respectively.
