Dustin Farthing is getting prepared for the World Finals and he is setting up an new watercooled Vortech Supercharger on his 300X engine. Last year Dustin was using a handcrafted watercooled Vortech Supercharger with twin belts (Read the story under the Features Section) but he had showed us the one that he has pictured on this photo. We look forward to see his new engine and the set up of his 300X. His plan is no other than to defend his number 1 plate in Pro Runabout Open.

The illustrated ski is Scott “Hollywood” Watkins’s original Freestyle 1992 race craft. Jet Ski collector Ty McFarland owns it at the moment and restored its original paint job. According to Ty this repaint job has taken almost a year to complete. The paint guy stencils the entire boat to repaint it exactly like the original. It was featured last year at the Old Skool Museum and it will be presented this year again.

This is a Kawasaki JS440 of 1981 which actually still runs pretty well according to his owner Tim Campbell. Campbell will feature this beautifully restored ski at the Old Skool Museum in Havasu during the IJSBA World Finals.

We had published a few pictures in the past of Gary Hart’s triple SX-R that was prepared by Steve Webster. Recently we managed to get all Technical Specificaton of this special triple cylinder SX-R. The engine of 1100cc was basically kept to its stock format in order to keep reliability at a high level and fuel consumption at a low one since Gary wanted to run it with pump gas. It top speed is a bit lower of 60mph but it remained a fun to ride craft. According to Webster the craft is very easy to ride and overall is a simple and neat conversion. We plan to publish a story on this craft when we will test ride it in Havasu next month.
