Who built this ski? Craig “Fuzzy” Boyd who is still an employee at KMC. I built this ski in 87-88. I'm surprised to see it show up here! This ski had a Rotax 583 cc snow mobile engine inside it with 95 STOCK HP. I built a huge carbon/Kevlar expansion chamber pipe which originally, I made the tooling to stamp the pipes from Aluminum. Aluminum gas tank, titanium engine bed plate and pivot bracket. Titanium driveshaft, Hand made billet starter motor assembly (because these engines were pull start). All aluminum hand made exhaust and intake manifolds. Molded rubber tank bases before OEM foam molded tanks were around? Billet sub plate. Titanium pump, scoop and intake before the OEM's had them. Graphite bottom. Adapted supertrapp. The first of the sealed batteries before the OEM's. Extrude honed 550 pump with the inner hub shortened and fattened with the first custom made 20 degree impeller. I painted it based from my snow ski poles back in 1985. I re-did the paint job for the 1993 (I think?) World Finals, where I sold it to the Japanese. ‎Three champions rode this ski too. Victor Sheldon, Dan Fitzgerald and Clay Cullen, oh and motoX champion/ legend Ron Lechene.

Famous Italian company, Dainese has discontinued the Impact Vest, the best personal watercraft PFD we had ever tested in www.jetskiworld.gr most probably due to the small numbers in sales. The particular vest was relatively expensive; however it was possibly the best one in the market. This leaves Jettribe alone in the segment with its own design which incorporates a detachable (and not built in) back protector. Jettribe was able to design a really smart PFD and released it in a reasonable and affordable price.

Bullett Racing had two (or possibly more versions) of its famous SX-R hulls made in two year time. Lately the Havasu based company has introduced a new SX-R that it is equipped with a new deck. According to Rusty Gewecke of Bullett Racing the hull itself incorporates 20mm extensions and a shorter (by 75mm) ride plate. Those mods were made in order to enhance the performance of the hull when it is equipped with a three cylinder engine. Already two riders have been using this hull, Rob Flores and Chris MacClugage and they had successful results in racing.
