Did the blaster hull ever change?

Besides changing colors [and engine], did the blaster 1 hull change at all in the few years they made it?

Nope. All the same.

Dude. I got into it HARDCORE with the blaster crowd on Facebook years back. I had like 20 dinosaurs from the 80s telling me the 96 was different. Had more "hook" whatever the fawk that is.

I own both years. I posed pics asking where the difference is so I could measure. All I got was a whole bunch of conjecture and shiat talk. Nothing but a bunch of whiners that couldn't admit they were wrong.

One una Panuna banka dude tried talking shiat. I called him out. He made up a bunch of shiat to his buddies about how he told me off. I saves the screenshots in my cloud for when I finally make I to Daytona and am around him and his clowns.

No. All the b1s are the same besides power train.

Cool. I'm finally getting one to build so I'm excited. Thanks!

They don't do freestyle well. If you chase doing tricks. You'll lose what the blaster is good at. Being a dirtbike on the water. They can hook harder than any ski out there. I still haven't mastered it. And every now and then. The ski will catch in a turn just right, and throw me right the hell off of it.

They are also SUPER fun to unload and slide. My personal beater blaster. I run no intake grate. It makes the hull alot looser on the water. You lose a bit of top end, and grip/serious hookup. But if you know how to work a pump and throttle. It isn't a big deal. No intake grate and you can wot. Turn sideways. Let off and literally drift for 75 ft. Throttle it a bit. And brap your off in the direction your pointed. Can also wot. Let off crank bars. Wot for split second whole throwing weight. And spun a whole 360 on the water. While moving forward at like 40 mph.

Blasters are so much for if you can ride them

Just don't fall off in deep water you might be ok..

I've won a few bets I couldn't board them in deep water and sit there without moving.

93-94 were identical. 95 got new gelcoat color to red otherwise same as 93-94. in 96 the motor was changed from the 61X single carb to the dual carb 62T case with a 61X cylinder (its the same motor for superjets from 96-2020).
in 97 Yamaha created the WB2 bigger ski w 760 motor. Outside the US a 1997 blue WB1 was sold Identical to 96 but in blue gelcoat. Outside US there was also a WB 800 1in 1997 with a powervalve motor.

I forgot which year I wanna say the red one has a lighter layup and is more prone to warping/cracking

B2 was 96.

B2 was 96 (yellow) and 97 (green). The 97 B2 had nozzle trim adjustment similar to the GP1200 of the same year

I've never even hit 190 lol

i was almost 300 and could still get on the blaster in deep water(im a little lighter now lol). it took a lot of practice but i learned how to do it when i was pretty young so that helped a lot.

Easier to side load a blaster if it has a pipe.
