KENNESAW, GA — February 3, 2009 — Yamaha Watercraft announced today that for the 2009 personal watercraft season beginning Oct 1, the top four best-selling products from the 2009 model year are Yamaha WaveRunners®.  

Yamaha WaveRunners that are leading the pack of 2009 models include the Yamaha FX Cruiser SHO®, VX® Deluxe, FX SHO®, and the VX Cruiser®, respectively.  The FX Cruiser SHO, Yamaha’s flagship luxury-performance model, was named last year’s Watercraft of the Year by Watercraft World® magazine.  The VX Deluxe was the best-selling PWC in 2008 and also a previous Watercraft of the Year winner.

“The season has started on an encouraging note as customers are gravitating toward our 2009 products, where they are finding all the features they want at a great price point.  What’s even more encouraging is that our two brand new models this year, the FZ™ and the FX® HO series, are just beginning to ship this month and next, which we believe will attract even greater consumer interest,” said Yamaha Watercraft Division Manager Bryan Seti.  “PWC owners are discriminating consumers.  They want the best product and the best price, now more than ever.  We are confident that when consumers do their research, Yamaha is the clear choice.”
