- None of the two SuperJet 701 (round-nose, 2008 hull) model years verified, which needs a check against the maker's own document, which the row names, and an engine figure; all two name a source below.
Some Yamaha numbers are measured sizes rather than the number in the model name: a GP760 is held as 753, a GP1200R as 1131, a GP1300R as 1296. None of these figures has been checked against a Yamaha document unless a cited source states it.

Year by year
| Model year | Engine, as the records hold it | Fuel system | Strokes | Hull type | What the record says | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2008 | 701 | Carburettor | Two-stroke | Stand-up | US model code SJ700BG. SJ700B series. Listed as its own line because the press dates a wider hull to 2008: WJSM (2020) has the under-hull widened from 2008, and Watercraft Journal (2017) says the SuperJet hull was last updated in 2008. Yamaha's model code does not mark the change (SJ700B series from 2006 to 2009), so a part made for the 1996 to 2007 hull should be checked against this one before it is bought. Square nose and round nose are owners' names for the two hulls, not Yamaha's: no Yamaha document held here uses either (searched Yamaha's own WaveRunner history and every other document held here, 2026-10-06). The first hull change was for 1996, when Yamaha's own model code moved from SJ700T to SJ700AU; the aftermarket and the press call the earlier hull square nose and the later round nose (Pro Watercraft Racing, "End of an Era: Yamaha SuperJet", 2020; jetdrift.com; WJSM, 2020). | Source 1 |
| 2009 | 701 | Carburettor | Two-stroke | Stand-up | US model code SJ700BH. SJ700B series; the fiche lists it by its colour name. From 2010 the reference carries this same machine under the plain name SuperJet, on Yamaha's own model pages, so 2009 is where the name changes here, not the year the craft ended. | Source 2 |
