I attended the Baltimore Boat show last Thursday night.
When I passed the Kawasaki Jet-Ski display I noticed a bright Red Jet Ski that had "SUPERCHARGED" logos on the front.
I said to the booth salesman: "What does that have like....175 HP?"

He smiled and said: "NOPE!.........250HP."
:eek: :awe:
I said: "No Way!"
He showed me a Tech brochure: 1498cc Roots blown and intercooled 4 cylinder putting out 250HP in a 900 lb Jet Ski!!!!
(Hey Jerry...You been workin' with Kawasaki on the sly??)
It'll do 90+ MPH on the water!!!....just DON'T fall off!

I once owned an 'old school' (stand-up style) Kawasaki 440 Jet Ski that had been totally re-worked: bored to 480cc, twin mikuni carbs, big pipe, etc.
It put out something like 70HP and was WICKED fast. When you fell off at full speed...you skipped on the surface of the water and it HURT!
But this new ULTRA 250X Kawasaki is SICK!
