YAMAHA GP760 SPECS SERIES
The GP series was also equipped with Yamaha’s exclusive security system to prevent unauthorized starts.Īnother great feature was the new informative dashboard.
Overall, compared to the WaveRider 1000, the GP had much better handling and was more predictable in all water conditions. Yamaha’s QSTS trim system worked better and faster than their competitors’ electric trim systems.īut unfortunately, even this trim system could not completely eliminate the porpoising, which remained one of the biggest drawbacks of the GP series. It’s a great feature to reduce porpoising, which the GP was prone to doing. With this system you can raise or lower the bow of the WaveRunner, depending on its load and the environmental conditions. Simply put, this was an adjustable trim system that can be controlled with the left-hand grip. The GP1200 was also equipped with the Quick Shift Trim System (QSTS). If you set them down fully, you can expect to get the most precise handling. Sponsons are plastic extenders mounted on the side of the hull that can be lowered or raised easily and quickly. This feature allows you to change the riding attributes based on your skills and needs. This model was also equipped with new race-inspired adjustable sponsons. The GP1200 was not just powerful, but very easy to control thanks to the semi-V hull with a sharp keel. The GP1200 is powerful enough to pull a skier, however, in most states tow sports are not legal with a 2-seater PWC. One drawback of the seat design is that it’s quite wide especially for smaller riders. But considering the hull’s stability and dimensions, the GP is really considered a 1-person PWC.
Both of these models were manufactured with the same hull, but with different engines.Īll GP models offer legal rides for 2 riders with a total weight capacity of 352 pounds. At that time, this WaveRunner was equipped the industry’s most powerful engine!īesides the GP1200, Yamaha released its smaller brother, the GP760. It was a runabout “sit-down” type model with outstanding performance and a very responsive throttle. It replaced the high-performance but very unpredictable WaveRaider 1100. The GP1200 was introduced in 1997, and immediately gained many fans.
