    You forgot to mention the weight . I work on all PWC and they are all heavy . Something that some don’t realize when your in a beached situation- you cannot drag it off , full of fuel they are over 1000lbs

    You do Great Reviews! Love watching them! I have a 2011 Yamaha VX Deluxe, and a 2021 GP 1800R HO. Both extremely reliable! I'm thinking about getting a 2025 with the new 1.9 Litre engine? Thanks for pointing out the "T.D.E" feature, I'll have to try it! FYI there is also a "Reverse Assist" feature you might want to point out? To activate : Squeeze the RIDE lever to the fully open position, and then push the upper side of the "SPEED ADJUST" switch. Once the beeper sounds 3 times, and the reverse indicator is displayed, the engine speed will increase. The engine speed can be adjusted to two levels +1, and +2. CHEERS!

      That's why I stay with kawasakis.. The hulls otherwise I'd be on the Yamaha team. But too. Many horror stories with Yamahas hulls. Super dumb on their end to not fix that 5 to 10 lbs of weight in making a proper hull would not hurt anyone. And make it night and day difference.

    Wait for the 2026 models with Gel coat hull, not the car paint which it breaks. It's a shame, so close to be the perfect PWC. Kawi is under powered, and Sea doo ST3 hull it's so bad to control.

    My 23 VX HO will do 65 MPH with me at 200 lbs. Also if I am not mistaken, the FX is only 1/2 inch wider than the VX. So cup holders and a couple inches in length is the only things I see different than the VX.

      I had the first of the 1800cc engines on a 2009 Fx Ho Cruiser
      Topped out at 64mph and could cover well over 150 miles on a full tank 70 litre.
      Never had a problem with cylinder heads or heard of anyone else having them either, in the 9/10 year I owned it the only thing it needed was a new battery after 5 years.
      All Yamaha have really done is copy Seadoo with all the flashy gadgets, which if you’re honest, you don’t really need on a ski.
