Mr Scott Saito, owner of Hot Products USA, recently informed us about the new, 2009, catalogue that he plans to release for his company. Hot Products is probably the largest distributor of pwc parts, aftermarket goodies and accessories in USA. The company celebrates its 25th anniversary and has given special attention to the design of the front and rear cover of the catalogue which, to our opinion, it attract the attention with innovative design. Franky Zapata is featured on both covers, a proof, that Hot Products USA will be a distributor of Zapata Racing parts, a deal that we had first published in this web site during the World Finals of 2008.

“In November I was granted the Southern African franchise for USA based Jet Ski Unlimited, with whom I have a long and happy relationship. They manufacture their own range of accessories for Kawasaki Jet Skis, and I’ve long been involved in developing new products for them. After I was granted their franchise I moved my Kawasaki Jet Ski business into my Jet Ski Unlimited store, and left my motorcycle accessories division, Fast Racing, operating on its own. Now, with my Kawasaki motorcycle business, I’ll be running the motorcycle accessories and sales together as Fast Kawasaki, and the Jet Ski stuff under the Jet Ski Unlimited banner. They’ll all share the premises that were previously North Coast Kawasaki at 40 Dollar Drive in Richards Bay’s CBD”.
