[onesojourner]

I need to confirm some stuff so I can update the wikipedia article.

Hull has integral sponsons, is narrower in the rear, and has deeper strakes.

50 mm setback Intake grate, rideplate, and pump

Pump has stainless impeller (???)

anything I am missing?

 

[MADMAT]

Improved steering cable, shorter pole (I think??)...........probabaly more.

 

[danjrowan]

shorter pole is one, mat is right

 

[vitaly]

2008 superjet changes

You forgot to mention the Training Wheels installed on the bottom for " Increased stability for beginner and intermediate riders" This was directly from the Yamaha website. Oh I forgot they are called sponsons my bad.

 

[Tuttle]

Yam site says impeller is still var pitch aluminum :bs2:

 

[Frosty]

integrated front tubbies and narrower rear hull only - deck stayed the same.

 

[#ZERO]

Trim nozzle and BNG.

I read in the other thread 50mm so 2 inches :dunno:

The pump inlet is like a blaster without the wasted space at the front that the rn and sn have. H-pole is -50mm. Lower steering cable end is changed. Comes with a trim ring in a fixed (currently) non-adjustable position. Oh yeah, the tray mounted crack washer. On the demo unit the impeller was a brushed stainless impeller.

 

[SuperJETT]

I wouldn't say they are molded sponsons, I'd say it's a hull design.

 

[superjet0587]

The SuperJet 144mm Hyper-Flow jet pump propulsion system : The new three-blade stainless steel progressive pitch impeller is designed to maximize water flow for high performance. The SuperJet pump configuration provides excellent hook-up and smooth acceleration.

I hope the Yamaha USA webmaster is simply one lazy bitch who cut and pasted the specs from the previous years and missed the important thinks to update.
