Overview

All new for 2021, the GP1800R SVHO has been completely re-designed from the waterline up to to ensure the world’s #1 race ski continues to dominate the race circuit and your mates in 2021.
Who would have thought that the world’s most successful race ski could get any better. Well it has!
We have worked with the world’s leading pros to take the GP1800R to the next level including new race ready tilt-adjustable exposed handle bars, new intake grate and jet pump for enhanced acceleration, deeper and wider self draining footwells and a new narrower seat profile for improved rider ergonomics.

This craft not only looks more muscular but has the performance characteristics to suit. The 

2021 GP1800R SVHO comes with an industry first automatic trim system with Cornering Control and Launch Control, bringing new levels of handling and performance to racers and recreational riders alike. When engaged, Cornering Control automatically shifts the trim into the bow down position when decelerating for tighter cornering and a racy feel. Launch Control automatically shifts the trim down to prevent bow rise when accelerating quickly. Combine this with a new hull liner that moves the craft’s centre of gravity back 80mm, the 2021 GP1800R SVHO is more nimble and agile than ever before. 

Other technology enhancements include a new 4.3″ Connext Helm Control with multi-colour LCD display, multi-mount system for attaching third party electronic devices and 15% more storage under the front hood, glovebox and seat.  
Please note, speakers are not included in this model.

New Intake Grate and Upgraded Jet pump

The redesigned intake grate and jet pump allows less turbulent water to flow through the jet pump. The result is even better acceleration and less cavitation in choppy water conditions.

Integrated Dual Mirrors

Incorporating Yamaha’s trademark compact and edgy design styling, the integrated mirrors not only look good but aid rider visual awareness and overall safety.

Open Loop Cooling System

All Yamaha WaveRunners utilise an open loop cooling system, as used by 99% of marine manufacturers. This system is proven to be the most effective, reliable and maintenance free solution for marine environments, which means less maintenance, costs and time off the water. 

1.8 Litre Supercharged SVHO Engine

Yamaha’s four-cylinder, four-stroke, 1822cc, Super Vortex High Output (SVHO) marine engine delivers more power and torque than any WaveRunner in Yamaha’s range. Combined with its new, larger 160mm hyper-flow jet pump and more efficient intake, this engine produces 20% more power than its predecessor. 

New Launch and Cornering Control

Auto Trim works independently from the electric trim control on the handlebars. When engaged, Cornering Control automatically shifts the trim into the bow down position when decelerating for tighter cornering and a racy feel. Launch Control automatically shifts the trim down to prevent bow rise when accelerating quickly.

All New Hull and Deck

The new deck design delivers improved ergonomics with deeper, wider, self-draining footwells and a new seat design that improves knee grip and overall comfort.
