I have hundreds of hours on both makes. The new hull on the fx ho cruiser is the best yamaha has ever put
I agree the earlier Yamaha hulls were not all that stable and sea doo had them beat in that area but now the new larger Yamaha hull is fantastic.
I say, go buy a new Spark, reflash the ecu and go terrorize Jim on his GTX-155 !!! :lol:
I'm not sure when the "new" hull you speak of appeared. My last experience with an FXHO was I believe a 2007 model. Our 3 GTX's are the larger hull that started in 2002 and was replaced a few years ago. My own personal opinion is that the GTX hull beats the HX hands down. Of course "feel" and handleability are somewhat subjective and personal.
I have the 2013 VX Cruiser and you couldn't turn that thing over if you tried. Well not really but it would take some real doing to do it.
Yamaha all the way. This is why you see the places that rent ski's use Yamaha. So much more reliable.

I have hundreds of hours on both makes. The new hull on the fx ho cruiser is the best yamaha has ever put out, The 1800 engine is the most reliable and it is a true marine engine.
I was out all day on mine again today . I put hundreds of hours a year on p w c's.
The only one I will ever own after years of sea doo and kawasaki , If you want one to ride and ride and ride with no problems This is the one to get.
