Watercraft Wonderland

From Sea Doo's to WaveRunner's we have explored the state of the personal watercraft industry and we're here to show you the latest generation of watercraft the whole family can enjoy.


Genesis
This 4 passenger personal watercraft features the Polaris Low Acoustic Noise Exhaust Technology, which reduces noise by 60 percent. And with the FICHT direct fuel injection system, overall emissions are reduced by more than 75 percent and fuel economy is increased by 35 percent. The 135-hp Polaris Marine 1200 engine has enough power to take a family of four for a cruise or pull two adult skiers with a spotter. With the PERC (Polaris Electric Reverse Control) and its unique reverse gate, you'll have more control going backwards. The Genesis comes standard with a theft deterrent system. $9,000. www.polarisindustries.com


Sea Doo LRV
The 13-foot long by 5 foot wide Sea Doo LRV features a ton (180 gallons to be exact) of storage space-- enough room to carry a variety of accessories, clothes, even a tent for the weekend plus the largest fuel tank available (25 gallons) for day long excursions without pesky gas refills. Powerful enough to tow a skier with three riders, the LRV also features a 56-inch sunpad on the rear for relaxation. $9300 www.seadoo.com


Kawasaki 1100 STX D.I.
Kawasaki's 3-seater 1100 STX D.I. delivers impressive performance, ultra-smooth acceleration, improved fuel economy (thanks to the patented Ficht Fuel Injection technology), better noise reduction and lower exhaust emissions to help keep the environment cleaner than the previous two-stroke technology. The 1100 STX D.I. features an all-new deep-V hull design for excellent cornering, increased top speed, and greater stability. And for added family fun, this watercraft can easily pull a water skier, wakeboarder or other towable. $8500. www.kawasaki.com/watercraft


Yamaha WaveRunner SUV1200
Yamaha's 2000 WaveRunner SUV1200 is a four-person watercraft powered by a high-performance, 135 horsepower, three-cylinder, 1131cc Yamaha marine engine with a 155mm Hyper-Flow pump and a three-blade, stainless steel impeller. The SUV1200 features the Yamaha Sound Suppression System (Y.S.S.S.) that makes it the quietest Yamaha three-cylinder craft ever.

The SUV has a 660-pound weight capacity and comes with a dovetail-design boarding platform and a custom tow eye for water-skiing and wakeboarding that make attaching and detaching the rope and changing rope length easy.

The SUV1200 also features a five-step Adjustable Tilt Steering System which allows the rider to adjust the steering column angle from 55 degrees to 35 degrees. $9200. www.yamaha-motor.com.
