You know what you’re doing is making a difference when the biggest companies in the industry are using your stuff to promote their products. And for those paying attention, Yamaha WaveRunners is taking the announcement of the 2017 GP1800 WaveRunner as The Watercraft Journal’s “Watercraft of The Year” quite seriously. Just today, Yamaha Motor Corp. USA published a sweet video teaser of some highlights from our article awarding the supercharged machine as “Watercraft of The Year” as well as some never-before-seen aerial footage from both the IJSBA World Finals this past October as well as our private testing session just a little over a month ago.
Titled, “Make a Name for Herself”, the video burb states, “The GP1800 wasted no time proving herself in her debut year on the race course, going undefeated in the process. Look out for 2018…” And we’ve already taken the ever-so-slightly revised 2018 GP1800 model out for a flogging…er, we mean testing session out on Lake Allatoona, Georgia, as well as produced and published an episode of “Long Haul” on our YouTube channel, which you can see now!
