Yamaha added a high-performance intercooler, increased the supercharger air intake capacity to pull more cool air into the engine and increase boost by 60%, and modified the fuel injection system to increase fuel flow.

      FX_JetPump Under the waterline, the SVHO engine is matched with a new 160mm eight-vein pump for maximum thrust volume and paired it with a new top loader intake grate to optimize its efficiency and hookup in rough water. The hull and deck is made of NanoXcel®, the Yamaha-only, nano-tech engineered material that shaves more than 70 pounds off the total weight of the unit, while providing a stable, comfortable and durable ride.

      The end result is an engine and driveline that produces extraordinary power and thrust in an extremely lightweight package, delivering a superior power to weight ratio.Yamaha’s FX® models are the best-selling models in luxury performance category for good reason.
