Captain's Report
By Capt. Nick Martinez
Overview
The flagship to the EX Series is the EX Limited, a feature-packed model that maintains a competitive price. Enhancements on this new WaveRunner include two Yamaha branded fenders, pull-up cleats, an upgraded tow hook, a color-matched tube, a 12-volt tube inflator w/outlet, a tow rope, a matching cover, portable audio speakers, waterproof bow storage and removable compression-molded storage. With prices on the EX line ranging from $6,999 to $9,599 the features being offered are more than expected, but that's not a surprise coming from Yamaha.
Performance and Handling
The EX Limited has plenty of power provided by her TR-1 4-Stroke engine that not only provides strength but good fuel economy. Under the waterline, the EX Series shares a stable, yet playful hull design. Even with a passenger aboard, her wide sponsons help keep her solid and comfortable feel. This model also comes with one of Yamaha's best features, RiDE Technology. RiDE Technology lets drivers switch into neutral with the quick squeeze of the left trigger or, if held down, shifts it into reverse. RiDE also helps decelerate faster when at high speeds, all while still being able to maintain control since the hands never leave the handlebars.
Engine
With the TR-1 powering the EX models, Yamaha reports a top speed of 51.1 mph and a best cruise of 29 mph with a 3.2 GPH fuel burn.
Features Inspection
Yamaha's EX Limited comes with a plethora of fun accessories to have a fun day out on the water, and all of them come standard.
Price
As mentioned earlier there are five models to choose from in Yamaha's affordable EX line. Each having its own purpose and features. Prices start at $6,999 for the standard EX model all the way to this EX Limited model at $9,599.
Observations
While Yamaha's EX line is targeting entry-level riders, don't expect to grow out of it. Indeed, each one has the performance and handling that will keep it a family staple for years to come. The EX Limited, being at the top of the series, will further ensure its longevity with so many of the most desired accessories already included. At a bargain price, this fully loaded wave runner would be a welcome addition to any family.
