  • We hit the lake with two Yamaha Waverunner Personal Watercraft (PWC) to find out the differences between a small, affordable rec lite machine and a big, heavy feature-packed luxury unit. The Yamaha JetBlaster offers thrills, while the FX Cruiser offers total rider comfort. Which would you choose?

    If it's longer than 10 feet, it's a boat, get the blaster, if you want to have fun, if your a big boy, with family, get the 1800 , good luck

      Loved the GTX for the ride though! Amazing comfy

    I had a smaller Sea Doo and now have a Yamaha fx/ho.. The Yamaha is heavy
    but drills through the water and feels 10 times more stable than the Sea Doo.

    For the JetBlaster, throw on the front storage bag, the front storage pod and the rear storage bag and you have way more storage. Minimal cost but it increases your storage capacity enormously. It makes it a much more versatile machine than it normally gets credit for.

    I love my 19’ waverunner ex deluxe. I found it in 2020, Everyone had the 2020s out so the dealer had it on sale for $6500 otd usd to make room for the new models (only difference was the colors) Been riding it for 4 years with ZERO issues. Plenty of room for a dad and 2 kids. More than enough power for me on the river. Perfect for my budget as well. The front storage can be upgraded. Yamaha sells a big large bag that replaces the tiny plastic. Adds ALOT of space. If I need speakers, gps or any of the fancy things the expensive models have there’s plenty of aftermarket options to add it.

      I'm going to give the yamaha a shot. I'm told/understand I don't have to do antifreeze in the winter. I know there are differing opinions on that one but this is big for me. I have numerous times throughout the cold season to get on the water but don't because I don't want to winterize again.

    Inexpensive? Nearly 16,000 and I'm sure that does not include taxes and other dealer fees. Plus you will need a trailer for it. It's insane how expensive recreational toys are. You can buy a brand new Chevy spark or mitsubishi Mirage For the same money or even cheaper. I don't know how they can justify these prices. Just think how much more material and workmanship has to go into building a car. Plus the tremendous cost of development and safety testing. And they can still offer it for the same price as a base watercraft. There's something not right here. All this has convinced me of is that I will never be able to afford a watercraft not even a base one.

Yes very expensive but I financed it over 15 years and it’s affordable they are very reliable and in sure we will have it forever! However i see “better” deals on marketplace where you can find cheaper options for 90% of the fun
