Performance Core: Engine and Lightweight Hull
The 2026 GP HO is built for exhilarating speed and agility, defined by its championship-winning hull and engine design.
- Engine Powerhouse: The core is the new 1.9 Liter High Output (HO) Yamaha Marine Engine. This naturally aspirated 4-cylinder engine is the largest displacement motor in a PWC today, delivering quick, smooth acceleration and exhilarating top speeds.
- NanoXcel2® Hull: The GP HO features the NanoXcel2® ultra-lightweight hull, which is substantially lighter and just as rigid as its predecessor. This lighter weight maximizes performance and handling, making the machine incredibly agile.
Handling & Control: Precision and Auto-Trim
The GP HO blends race-ready features with intuitive control systems for confident operation.
- RiDE® Dual Control System: Yamaha’s patented system allows riders to effortlessly switch between forward, neutral, and reverse using dual throttles, ensuring precise low-speed maneuvering and easy docking.
- Auto Trim Function: An exclusive Launch Control feature automatically adjusts the trim down to prevent bow rise during rapid acceleration. Cornering Control automatically shifts the trim for sharper, more aggressive turning.
- Ergonomics: The racing-inspired design includes a lowered center of gravity, a two-piece racing seat for improved grip, and tilt-adjustable steering handlebars for precision control in various riding positions.
- Instrumentation: The 4.3” Connext® Helm Control System displays essential functions, including a security mode and customizable Drive Control settings.
Luxury & Utility: Audio and Towing Readiness
The GP HO is equipped for a full day of fun, balancing its sporty nature with practical convenience.
- Audio System: Optional factory-installed Yamaha Audio Speakers are fully waterproof and provide high-quality sound.
- Storage: Offers 28.4 gallons (107 L) of storage, including a large bow storage area and a convenient watertight glove box (often with integrated USB/12V outlet).
- Towing & Reboarding: Features an upgraded tow hook for watersports and a convenient reboarding step that folds away when not in use.
- Fuel Efficiency: The 1.9L HO engine is designed to be highly fuel-efficient and uses readily available Regular Unleaded Gasoline.
