The boat Craig and Victor raced was an Ultra 250 hull (same as the Ultra 260). It had an Ultra 260X engine with 9.5:1 JE Pistons and a pink Subaru injectors (like the closed course boat injectors). It was equipped with stock fuel pump, stock air box but the Green Team used a programmable Mitsubishi ECU to increase timing advance, but anyone could simply use the stock ECU with a 4 degree timing advancer. The use of MS109 fuel (VP) was unavoidable since somehow the fuel burning had to cool down. The boat is mostly the same as what Botti raced at World Finals in 2008. The waterbox has the baffles removed and it had an 07 exhaust outlet (bigger than 08). The boat had a Macc Racing carbon fiber rear seat and the front seat was recovered by Hydro-Turf. The pump was stock but oil filled it to increase reliability. The impeller was a 260X impeller with an additional 1 degree of pitch on the trailing edge and we used an 80mm nozzle. The steering nozzle was also stock. The Team used a Riva billet steering system (made by UMI) with Riva bars. Finally, the Team used a quick fill system that used dry breaks made by IMS and Riva sponsons. Additionally, we know that Team Kawasaki altered the stock cooling in order to provide a better engine/intercooler temperature that enhances overall engine performance.
