Attributes: The Yamaha GPR Runabout
has poor hook up on the water, and very sluggish handling,
but makes up in engine displacement, and raw horsepower.
Only very few riders choose this craft, it takes a certain
type of rider to make the GPR hook up, and it is one
very tiring craft to handle. My GPR reaches 0-60 in
3 seconds in flat water conditions.
[Runabout Class] or also known s
the “Sit down” due to its appearance and
ease to use. The runabout jet ski fits more than one
rider ranging from 2-4 seaters including the operator.
Engines range from 650cc to 1500 cc, 2 strokes, and
4 strokes. Runabouts are the fastest forms of jet skis
despite their weight.
[Sport Class] A hybrid type of jet
ski combining the attributes of a stand up type and
a sit down type. It handles like a stand up, utilizing
a more lean in style during the turns, and has a seat
that only fits the operator, no passenger, its dimensions
are much smaller than the runabout and similar to those
of a stand up.
[Ski Type] or commonly known as a
Stand Up jet ski. It features a collapsible handle pole
with handle bars. It has no seat. It can only be operated
by the rider on an upright standing position or kneeling
down. It is the hardest form of jet ski to ride and
master, and the most tiring.
