    Yea that is odd about the 07, why would they show that with the 08's?
    Maybe yamaha decided to make some black 08's as well? lol

    They could be? I have flicked them an email to ask if it is an 07 or an 08 so we shall just wait and see what they come back with.

    I was looking at it again and I thought I could kinda see the bulge in the side of the lower hull but maybe I was just seeing things! lol
    The graphics on it is certainly different.

    The blue one is a 08 and the black one is a 07. Yamaha only produce the 08 in the blue........ Chenzo i think you are seeing things lol the sides look straight........

    I like mine still!

    The 08's are completely different, the hull is wider all the way from the front untill the end of the tubbies then it tapers in and ends up thinner than the old hulls, it has a built in pump shoe and the whole pump and intake is set back, it hooks up better than the old ones and turns a lot
    better.

    They are using a raider nozzle so you could hook a trim to it if you want.

    Nope, never heard a word from them!
    No time for people like that. I would only use WCW if I had no other option and was in a hurry to get something.
    All my dealings with them have been hard work on my part and their prices are bank busting!!!

    Yeah i quite often went in there as a last resort to buy filters and little shit as he has alot of junk around. Im sure when you come to pay for something he has a dice that he throws and multiplys it by 100 to get the price.

    I also went in there once to buy a set of 48mm novis for my seadoo he said he had. He wanted $900 for them so i left takanini to go a pick them up in mt wellington. I asked while i was there 'are you sure these will fit a Seadoo XPL'. He said yeah no worries. Went back to takanini and found out they were actually 46mm superjet carbs. So i had to ake them back to mt wellington for a refund. Didnt even say sorry. What a waste of half my day. Thanks

    I have just recently come across roger and i wont be going anywhere else.
