Karl Copenhaver has been equipped with a brand new Kommander V-Drive hull with a triple-cylinder Kawasaki engine. Kommander’s V-Drive hull was tested exclusively by Jetskiworld.gr in Havasu with the presence and support of Steve Webster owner of Kommander Industries. You can read the complete review in the Race Tests section. Kommander V-Drive hulls are manufacture by Trinity Composites.

The O2 sensor kit with gauge is fully wired and will connect directly into your Weberpower ECU kit. http://www.weberpower.com/electrical-ecu-ignition-kit.html This will allow the ECU to operate in the “closed-loop” mode, and write its own map files and / or monitor the AFR in both the closed loop & open loop modes. The closed loop capability allows you to “tune” the AFR and map file settings and possibly increase the performance. It can also be used as a “stand-alone” unit to monitor AFR by re-wiring the connector and signal inputs. We also offer the replacement O2 Sensor. The illustrated kit has part number EMS4-O2G and costs $210.00 and a replacement sensor EMS-4-02R costs $84.00. Available from Weberpower.com.

It is the project of Peteris Kitins and the result looks awesome. Under the OEM Yamaha deck there is a custom built carbon T3 hull. Inside the engine compartment Kitins has installed a turbo set up for the Yamaha power plant. Photo courtesy: Peteris Kitins from FB.

Steve Webster is preparing and developing a new triple Kawasaki package for his protégé David Redinger. He has not told us much until now, however he mention that this year he has been using a new intake manifold, a different exhaust routine, and some small details that made the engine crispier and more powerful. We have mention in the past that Kommander Industries have their own dyno in house that makes life easier for Webster to fine tune his engine’s spec.

Isle of Man TT star Michael Dunlop had to be rescued from the sea following a pwc incident in Douglas bay on the island on Saturday afternoon. The Northern Ireland rider, who won four races at the event, got into difficulties along with team sponsor Martin Marlow after the pwc capsized some distance from the shore off Douglas head. The pair were unable to restart the machine and began to push the jetski back towards land until they were rescued by the RNLI around an hour later after friends raised the alarm. A large crowd of bystanders had gathered on Douglas promenade to watch the drama unfold but Dunlop took it all in his stride and was joking about the incident as he was pulled to safety. The 24-year-old made the 2013 Isle of Man TT his own, winning the Superbike and Superstock races plus both Supersport events to boost his tally of Mountain wins to a magnificent seven.

These are the graphics that Dustin Motzouris will have on his Bullett Racing V2 race craft for the 2013 World Finals. He is preparing the particular craft with a new set up on his Weber engine. According to Dustin tests will start soon since he wants to find out how the new hull will perform according to his latest Weber set up. Will the new boat be faster than the one used with the OEM hull?
