“Using nanotechnology, our engineers were able to create a high-strength, lightweight material called NanoXcel. This mate-rial is exclusive to Yamaha and allows us to make the hulls and decks of select 2008 models 25 percent lighter and even more durable than in previous years – improving the power-to-weight ratio significantly and increasing responsiveness, acceleration and top speed.”

“With nanotechnology, we were able to create a hull material that utilizes a nano-created filler that is layered thousands of times over so the bonding surface is much larger and stronger than before. Therefore, much less filler is needed, resulting in a lightweight, stronger material that delivers a great ride.”
