2001 Yamaha Waverunner SUVs
This will be another short entry
because I really don’t have many pictures of these enormous Waverunners even
though I owned them for years. The SUV
was easily the largest Jet Ski you could buy at around 13 feet in length…and I
had two! I wasn’t looking for these
things but I bought them as part of a package deal along with a Ford
Excursion. They were on a single trailer
nose to tail and when hooked up to the Excursion were about as long as a
Semi. My buddy Barry flew out to Lake
Havasu in Arizona and drove the whole rig back.
I’m not sure I ever fully appreciated what a long drive that must have
been.
They initially got a lot of use -
Houston is a great place to own personal watercraft. It was a ridiculously long set up though so I
bought a used single trailer and got them separated. I also had the seats re-covered and did a
little maintenance. After that they
basically sat around in my shop for a couple years. I’m not sure why I stopped using them to be
honest.
Ultimately I sold them just to get
them out of the way. I understand that
these are popular with some users just because they’re so stable due to their
sheer size - fishing and towing would make sense for example. I liked them ok, but I think I preferred some
of the two-seater versions I’ve owned a little more for simple riding.
