Happy to see the industry finally catching up w/ features and options "from the factory"! Call me a dinosaur but the new "freestyle jetblaster" is still 3inches longer than a 2000 Seadoo GTX 3-seater haha... Now, that new Superjet sounds cool! I've been saving for years and the VXR is close in my reach :-D

@adrinaline186 3 года назад

Good to see some of these manufactures going back to some of their roots of what a PWC really is, a small nimble craft . Good to see a version of the Blaster come back. Thought not as small as its hugely popular predecessor, it’s a step in the right direction (in my opinion) to help bring the masses back. PWCs today are just way to big and I rather buy a boat and fit the family on it than buy a 3 seater. I know sales numbers say otherwise. Quick question, was there any update to the 2022 Superjet? (Color, hull, minor tweaks?) Thanks Kevin!

They don’t need to put all that touch screen bullshit on there. It’s a wave runner dude. You should know the layout of your lake. Cup holders are kind of dumb. Definitely don’t need to over complicate things. Also leave your phone on the land. This is the point of a watercraft like this to get some sun and fun without all the text and phone call distractions. It is a cool wave runner though.

@watercraftjournal 3 года назад

Sea-Doo left much of the PWC line alone (save for colorings, the 2 FishPros and the “Tech Package”). The boats will likely disrupt the pontoon market for years to come. Yamaha addressed serious issues with the FX and it’s accessories in a measured way (not drastic). Some colorings and decals were trying too hard to be flashy, and that will cost them. The EXR never got the audience Yamaha (or I) wanted so the ‘Blaster move is a swing in a different direction. It should sell out for sure.

Soo thankful they addressed the tiny screen & added auto trim!! 😍. Also glad they put hard navigating buttons in reach from the seated position. I can’t even reach my tiny screen on my ‘19 FX. I LOVE the new glove box! 😍 Not a fan colors Yamaha went with this year. 1. Is the new ride plate the same as the RIVA ride plate? If not, which would be better to install on a ‘19-21, the Riva or the ‘22 ride plate? 2. Will the ‘22 grips work on the ‘19-‘21 FX’s? Are they worth upgrading?

Any idea when dealers will be getting '22 FX's? Some just received '21 models a few weeks ago...

@watercraftjournal 3 года назад

Exactly. Yamaha has said October, but expect it to be slightly later (just to be safe).

@conpoulos7233 3 года назад

I don't think the loss of nano on the FX is a big deal on the SVHO model things still got plenty of power for a luxury cruiser a 22 model with a stock 8000tune from riva is plenty for most and with the GP SVHO keeping Nano there's now a true difference between the luxury powerful cruiser and the buoy racer...... mind you would love to see a drag between a 21 FX SVHO and 22 FX SVHO.... I think Yamaha was seeing to many hull issues with the FX line and that's the reason for the change not comfort or vibration etc

@watercraftjournal 3 года назад

It's not a loss but a HUGE benefit.

@conpoulos7233 3 года назад

I agree

@christophercarrasco5563 3 года назад

I was looking at the FX series. I am looking to see if there are any differences in the HO and the cruiser HO. Is it strictly the seat?

@watercraftjournal 3 года назад

Seat, colors and pop-up cleats.

@Gmtail 3 года назад

Finally!! I've stuck with Kawasaki due to the true fiberglass hull. Even though they are still a favorite of mine the lack of innovation was pushing me towards Yamaha but I've seen so many issues with that nano hull. I just may have to go put a deposit in on a new one now!
