Yamaha GP1800R SVHO Review - The Best Jet Ski Ever Made

Published 2021-08-03
I do an in-depth review of our 2021 Yamaha GP1800R SVHO. I include a 0-60mph time (5-60 is typical in the jetski community) 3.98s. This is Dragy verified which is a high-accuracy GPS meter. Enjoy!

  • I own a 2014 FX Cruiser SVHO it is absolutely a beast. Only thing I would love to have is the RIDE system but it is amazing the SVHO motor is incredible
  • @dproulx7380
    I have 2019 with stage 1plus and gen 2 ride plate and intake grate with pump seal 79/80 mph absolutely love it
  • I have a 22 blue/yellow. I almost traded it in the following week. This thing is insane. Finally got used to it. You better hold on man!
  • @kckuc310
    Good review, one of the bests out there
  • @ajlukelepuke
    This is probably the best color scheme of any PWC.
  • @Edge__Tv
    Great video, have a High Output unit. Just curious what do you use for your camera angle in this vid? A chest harness?
  • I have a 22 gp svho cyan and yellow. Love every single thing about it.
  • @jasonmekush5280
    I love my 21 gpr have about 2 grand worth of go fast parts on her . All day 82 mph very quickly from 10-82
  • @creedtucker3681
    Nice numbers. The 2014 VXR we have did 1/8th mile in 10.01 @ 61.8 MPH. Did 330' in 5.4 seconds as well. But top end certainly isn't there in comparison
  • @daviddevault5269
    Excellent video! You should teach how to post a video on YouTube Perfect time length and very informative. A lot of other videos just ramble on and on about nothing important. Thank You
  • @lashbera
    I have this exact machine, I use it hard, acceleration is so strong, corners even harder, the only time its not at full throttle is during warm up. If you enjoy G forces in all directions this is the unit. Ive had mine out 13 times since getting it in May, 7 different lakes, never found any pwc faster although I know they exist and I never found another GP1800R SVHO

    Wow! Small world 🌎, have your exact year make and model GP1800R even in blue. Was told it was one of 3 that were allocated for sale in entire state of Ohio. Next crazy thing took our Waverunner to Cumberland this year also..my 1st time back in 31yrs.. had a blast,but no one to race. Not busy on weekdays. Busted impeller circling by shore waiting for trailer to get backed in. Didn't realize damage until next trip out on Buckeye Lake.😢
  • Thanks for making this. Have you ridden the FX SVHO? I’m stuck between which to buy. I love speed, but this will be my first time on a SC ski. I guess I’m concerned the GP won’t be fun unless the water is flat - whereas the big FX can glide through nearly anything. Can you speak on the GP’s level of “fun” in normal lake conditions?
  • How many litres is the tank. 2.3 km / litre sounds like i wont go very far
  • @dandeluca9840
    Just got a 2023 GP HO (no supercharged available for the season). I’m also a viper guy (had a gen 1 since 2014 and just traded it for a 01 GTS. Looking forward to a nice spring/summer season. You still have the GP?
  • @jimboy6284
    A have a 2019 gp1800r my first ski is that a good ski or what ?
  • @tuckerm8089
    Im on Lake Cumberland also with a 2021 GP1800. Id love to ride with you sometime!
  • @2dthoughts
    Damn 70 mph I have a 96 Wave Raider and feel like I’m hauling when I clip 50 Lol I need one of these
  • I’ve ridden jet skis plenty of times. I don’t own one yet but I’m looking to get a gp1800r or the sea do equivalent. I don’t know if I need the svho but I love speed. Any thoughts considering the price of gas right now
  • @ericsmith6677
    i have the nonsupercharged version. they're the most dependable skis on the water but they have the largest engine as well yet their flag ship has less power than other flag ship model
