  • GP800 - Seat / Hull - What's the deal?

    I have 2 questions about this ski:

    1] How wide is the seat on the 2000 model? The most accurate way to do this is, take off the seat, turn it upside down, then measure it at its WIDEST point. I was able to get on a 2001 model, but when I stood up (the way I usually ride), to this short rider, it felt very uncomfortable and I don't think I could get use to it. I understand the 2000 model has a narrower seat. Therefore, if someone could measure the 2000 model for me, it sure would be helpful. This may make the difference whether I buy a Yamaha or another brand.

    2] Did the 2000 model have a different hull than the 1999 and before models? [OR] was the 2001 model the first hull change Yamaha has made in a while for the GP800?

    TIA,
    S.S.R.

    The 1998-2000 have MUCH narrower seats - if you have been on a GP760, 1997-1999 GP1200, same seat. It's actually about the same width as any of the Yamaha 3-seaters too.

    The 2001 was the first change for the 800 - it now uses the GP1200R hull. Totally different.
