TAIGA Orca Carbon
Walking down the dock to test the new Taiga Orca Carbon, at first glance I noted that it did not look much different in size and shape than the typical Sea-Doo or Yamaha PWC. The first clue that operating the Taiga Orca Carbon would be different was the power cord. I didn't just have to untie it to leave the dock; I also had to unplug it.

YAMAHA FX Limited SVHO
The FX Limited SVHO, Yamaha's flagship WaveRunner, combines a deep-V hull with a supercharged, mega-displacement 1.8-liter Super Vortex High Output engine that pushes it beyond 65 mph. Now sheet moulding compound (SMC) returns to the hull rather than Yamaha's lighterweight, nano-engineered construction. This adds about 40 pounds but arguably improves the boat's feel, particularly in rough water.
