There’s very few personal watercraft that have earned the right of celebrity (except maybe that Kawasaki JS550 that MacGyver managed to sneak into a coffin), but this particular 2015 Yamaha FX HO WaveRunner has seen plenty of screen time in its 7 months’ worth of use during the jet ski fishing Segment of “Fishy Business” on New Zealand’s TV ONE.
The fully-equipped machine has been well maintained over the course of its 92 hours on the clock. For the show, it was outfitted with a large screen Lowrance HDS7 Touch Sounder/GPS, a 70-litre split lid Icey-Tek bin (cooler), a Manta Marine bait station with four rod holders (brand new), a replacement OE FX HO Cruiser seat and comes with Yamaha’s RiDe system (neutral starting, and reverse/neutral on the fingertips rather than a manual lever down the side).
Heck, they’re even going to throw in a stainless steel trailer from Manta Marine. Moreover, the Yamaha has more than 2 years of factory warranty remaining and has been fully serviced, including just having the 100 hour service. Although it’s been listed for a while now, the price of $20,500 (NZD) or $14,000 (USD) has managed to keep buyers at bay. But not anymore! Even the cost of crating and shipping this Yamaha from Kiwiland to the States is a bargain considering all of the gear on it.
Or James Bond’s Wetbike…
