Lee Manvell designs and makes hulls and special parts for Runabouts. We ahve already posted a story for him under the Features section. Recently he informed us about his new projects. “I have two new hull designs that I am ready to start testing for the Yamaha FZR/ SHO. The 1st one based on a modified Kawasaki Ultra Hull. I think they will be good and will only be for sale through me at the Mod Shop once they are tested and proven.” as he said n his own words. We have been informed via Skip Holmes (Teammotowatercraft) that Lee Manvell will soon have his own web site about his business “The Mod Shop” that was recently transferred to Sacramento, California.

IJSBA has received this press release from the San Diego Personal Watercraft Club. We congratulate these guys for their good stewardship of the water. All participants were given complimentary copies of the IJSBA World Finals DVD. April 24th San Diego, Ca. For the first time ever, iloveacleansandiego.org sponsored an on-the-water-cleanup with the San Diego Personal Watercraft Club of San Diego Bay this past Saturday April 24th. 14 jetskis and one boat covered the entire San Diego Bay, approximately 20 miles in length, and collected 330 lbs of floating trash that will NOT be sucked into our impellers. We found surf board fins, tennis shoes, 2x4’s, plastic bags, plastic water bottles, glass bottles, cigarette butts, rope, and many other things that went down the storm drains and into our Bay after the recent rains. Thanks to all SDPWC members and here’s to finding 500 lbs next year. Ray Hinton – President, San Diego Personal Watercraft Club http://sdpwc.net

These caps are actually the protrusion of the standard side rails of the S4. They are much higher therefore they enable the rider to support his/her leg and enhance its riding style. These rail caps are manufactured by Craftsman’s Movement a company well known in Japan for its aftermarket goodies.

Recently we tested Sea Doo’s brand new RXT S3 (European version) and we found out that the Canadian company actually produced a very decent three seater. A craft that is equipped with high tech electronics, the famous iBrake which is an outstanding feature and most but not least the new hull that makes the difference in sport riding. Wondering about its tope speed? 69mph with absolutely no worries... Read all about it in a few days under the Tests section.
