Yamaha FX CR: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Boat Test Review on BoatTest.com

Overview

The Yamaha FX-SHO series is a high-performance personal watercraft platform featuring two closely related models: the FX Cruiser-SHO and the FX-SHO. Both models share the same hull and engine platform but differ in key features and design elements. The watercraft measures 140.2 inches in length overall, with a beam and height of 48.4 inches. Dry weight is approximately 851 to 853 pounds depending on the model. Powered by an 1812 cc supercharged, intercooled four-stroke four-cylinder marine engine, these vehicles are tuned to run efficiently on regular 87 octane unleaded gasoline.

Exterior Design and Features

The FX-SHO series has undergone a complete redesign of the forward section, presenting a flatter, more aggressive profile. The front is equipped with a familiar bumper system, low-profile rub rails, and large wing mirrors positioned outward for enhanced rear visibility. The forward storage compartment is gasketed and water-resistant, providing secure space for valuables. Fueling is facilitated via a starboard-side inlet connected to an 18.5-gallon fuel tank. Total storage capacity across the watercraft is 33.2 gallons, with the majority located in the forward compartment and additional storage beneath the seat and in the stern area. The hull is constructed from Nano XL, a lightweight material molded with a closed mold process to ensure precision and consistency. Redesigned sponsons measuring 24 by 5 inches contribute to the craft's stability and sharp turning capabilities.

Console and Controls

The console layout differentiates the FX Cruiser-SHO from the FX-SHO primarily through instrumentation. The Cruiser-SHO features a large central analog gauge displaying either RPM or speed, flanked by two multifunction digital displays configurable for various metrics including fuel consumption, speed, and compass headings. The FX-SHO has a simpler setup with one multifunction display. Both models incorporate electronic key systems allowing for locking and operational mode restrictions, including a low-speed mode for novice riders. Handlebar controls are ergonomically designed, with throttle, no-wake mode, cruise assist, trim adjustment, and reverse gate controls all within easy reach. The handlebars are adjustable to accommodate different riding postures. Additional conveniences include multiple dry storage compartments and cup holders integrated into the console and under the handlebars.

Seating and Passenger Accommodation

The FX Cruiser-SHO is equipped with Yamaha's three-tier 'stadium seating,' which provides a scalloped, comfortable ride for multiple passengers. In contrast, the FX-SHO features a sportier, more aggressive seat design aimed at riders seeking a performance-oriented experience. Both models provide comfortable seating for an observer, positioned aft with grab handles and a dedicated tow rope connection point, supporting towing activities such as watersports.

Engine Access and Maintenance

Beneath the primary seat lies the robust 1812 cc supercharged and intercooled four-cylinder engine. The design allows ample space around the engine for easy maintenance access. Key service points such as the oil dipstick, air filter, and oil filter are conveniently located for straightforward inspection and replacement. An engine flush system is integrated into the stern storage area, facilitating easy cleaning after saltwater or freshwater use. Additionally, the tow line can be stored securely while connected, enhancing operational convenience.

Performance and Handling

Testing revealed a top speed of 66.7 miles per hour at 7,500 rpm, with a fuel consumption rate of 19.2 gallons per hour, yielding approximately 3.47 miles per gallon and a maximum range of 58 statute miles. Typical cruising was found to be most efficient at 4,500 rpm, delivering an average speed of 30.1 miles per hour while consuming 5.1 gallons per hour, which translates to nearly 6 miles per gallon and an extended range of 99 statute miles. Acceleration from 0 to 30 miles per hour averaged 1.7 seconds. The redesigned reverse gate system demonstrated excellent maneuverability, allowing precise control in forward, neutral, and reverse modes with a simple lever and latch mechanism.

Conclusion

The Yamaha FX-SHO series offers a well-engineered, high-performance personal watercraft platform with thoughtful design enhancements focused on rider comfort, convenience, and control. The combination of advanced materials, ergonomic controls, and a powerful yet efficient engine makes these models suitable for both aggressive riders and those seeking a more comfortable cruising experience. The detailed testing confirms the watercraft's capabilities in speed, handling, and fuel efficiency, supported by practical features that enhance usability and maintenance.
