For a better view, we recommend looking at it on a PC!) Specs (Sorry, we know that on mobile it’s quite huge. Specsįor a better comparison, we compiled all the GP WaveRunners ever built into one chart. In this chart, you can compare these three entry-level GP WaveRunners. Let’s take a closer look at this model as well! These models came with completely new hull design, which was much better.
#Yamaha gp760 specs series#
This problem is actually caused by a design defect in the hull.Īlthough the GP series was equipped with Yamaha’s QSTS (Quick Shift Trim System), it could not completely eliminate this effect.īecause of this, many owners equipped their crafts with trim tabs, which usually made a huge difference.īeyond trim tabs, aftermarket intake grates, ride plates, and sponsons may also help to eliminate porpoising on the Yamaha GP800 and GP760.īut keep in mind, that even if these modifications help a lot, they cannot completely eliminate this problem.īut in 2000, Yamaha introduced the GP1200R, and two years later the new GP800R. Porpoising is when the WaveRunner continuously bounces up and down in porpoise-like movements. Probably the biggest problem with the Yamaha GP800 is the porpoising. Let’s be honest, every PWC has its strengths and weaknesses, and GPs are no exception. It should also be mentioned that as the GP760 and GP800 were powered with relatiely smaller engines, a passenger slowed them down significantly.īecasue of these issues, the GP series wasn’t considered to be great family-WaveRunners. More load made them too unstable and uncomfortable. Why?īecasue with two adult riders they easily become unstable and tippy due to their small, flatter hulls.īeing realistic, the GPs were fine for one adult and a little child. But let’s face it, riding with passengers on these PWCs is not very good. According to many owners, wave jumping was always a lot of fun on these small GPs! The adjustable, racing-style sponsons also contributed to its stability.Įven if it wasn’t as sporty as a stand-up, an experienced rider could perform some really good tricks on this sit-down WaveRunner. The GP760 offered a really fun ride and easy control due to its lightweight semi V-shaped hull. The only difference was that the GP1200 had a more powerful engine, and was heavier of course. It had the same hull and features as it’s brother, the GP1200. The very first GP model, the Yamaha GP760 was released in 1997.
