Yamaha FX Limited SVHO: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The Yamaha WaveRunner FX Limited SVHO represents the flagship model of Yamaha's luxury FX series, combining advanced features with high performance. This watercraft is equipped with two distinct accessory packages tailored for towing and technology enhancements, making it a versatile and feature-rich personal watercraft.

Features and Exterior Design

The FX Limited SVHO includes a tow package featuring a single-person color-matched tube, tow rope, 12-volt power inflation pump, soft-sided cooler, wired 12-volt outlet for the pump, and a matching cover. The tech package offers two Eco-X gear waterproof wireless Bluetooth speakers, a Garmin Striker GPS fish finder with transducer, and RAM multi-mount hardware. A notable innovation for this model year is the industry's first 4.3-inch touchscreen display, which provides multiple modes including customizable drive control and security features to prevent unauthorized use. The watercraft's mirrors are well positioned and angled for effective visibility, especially useful during docking, complemented by pull-up cleats that enhance safety and convenience. The handlebars are adjustable with controls strategically placed: the right side houses the throttle trigger, cruise control, and no-wake mode buttons, while the left side contains trim TDE (Thrust Directional Enhancer) buttons, stop button, and emergency shutoff lanyard. The TDE system improves low-speed maneuverability by directing thrust similarly to a virtual rudder. The FX Limited SVHO also retains Yamaha’s intuitive ride system that integrates braking and reverse functionality through the left handlebar trigger.

Deck and Storage

The watercraft features a premium cruiser seat designed for three riders, with a versatile grab handle at the stern usable by passengers facing either forward or aft. The stern is equipped with a significantly larger, wider, and more comfortable flip-down reboarding ladder. The deck incorporates non-skid surfaces and spring-loaded cleats to prevent toe injuries. New for this model year are deck drains located forward to the left of the redesigned ride trays. Storage capacity totals 44 gallons of watertight compartments, including a bow compartment housing a fire extinguisher in a yellow bracket and a removable soft-sided cooler. The glove box has been enlarged and is watertight, while the aft compartment includes a freshwater flush system.

Engine and Mechanical Features

Beneath the removable front seat section lies the supercharged 1.8-liter Super Vortex High Output engine. This four-cylinder, four-stroke, 1812cc motor features 16 valves and an intercooler, delivering robust power and efficiency. The engine compartment also provides access to the automatic bilge pump, facilitating maintenance and safety.

Performance and Handling

The FX Limited SVHO measures 140.9 inches in length with a 50-inch beam and is constructed using Yamaha's weight-saving Nano XL2 compression molded compounds, resulting in an empty weight of 836 pounds. During testing, with the Yamaha Test Rider, 18.5 gallons of fuel, and test equipment aboard, the estimated weight was approximately 1,182 pounds. The test model was equipped with a 17.6-inch pitch three-bladed stainless steel impeller. At full throttle, the supercharged engine reached 7,600 RPM, propelling the watercraft to a top speed of 68 miles per hour. The optimal cruising speed was identified at 4,000 RPM, achieving 25.5 miles per hour with a fuel consumption rate of 3.3 gallons per hour, equating to 7.8 miles per gallon and a range of 130 statute miles while maintaining a 10% fuel reserve. Acceleration tests demonstrated the craft's ability to reach 30 miles per hour in just 1.5 seconds. The new hull design enhances handling, providing confident performance during sweeping turns and aggressive maneuvers. The FX Limited SVHO also exhibits stable towing capabilities, maintaining straight and true tracking even with side-to-side weight shifts at the end of the tow line.

Conclusion

The Yamaha WaveRunner FX Limited SVHO stands out as a luxury personal watercraft that successfully integrates advanced technology, thoughtful design, and high-performance engineering. Its comprehensive feature set, innovative touchscreen interface, and powerful supercharged engine deliver an engaging and versatile riding experience. The new hull and deck designs contribute to improved handling and comfort, making the FX Limited SVHO a compelling choice for riders seeking both speed and sophistication on the water.
