The pictured Sea Doo is not a new model from the company but a handcrafted idea, made in Greece. Nestor Bechlis visualized it and built this particular hull (and deck) by using two XP 800 bodies. The new craft accommodates a XP800 engine in it. His builder, Nestor is quite pleased with the performance especially its straight line stability, though he mentions that running in a close course does not make him feel comfortable. Nestor needed a lot of working hours in order to make his dream come true and is still working on some up dates. Well done my friend…

According to a confirmed source Kawasaki plans to release two new Jet Ski’s this year. One of them will be a new Supercharged Runabout. We already knew that the company was developing a new hull, in order to put a larger diameter pump and also enhance the output of the supercharged engine. The Factory Kawasaki Team has already seen over 400hp on the dyno, therefore we expect to see an engine with more than 200hp, in order to use pump gas. The pictured Jet Ski shows the new designed deck, and the steering system that resembles that of the Yamaha FX, the new two-piece seat, meanwhile at the front of the storage cover there is small air duct. Stay tuned for more updates.

Actually, it is a small power boat, with the dimensions and the shape of a personal water craft. The moulds were originally designed somewhere in Italy, even though it is manufactured in Greece. It is equipped with an outboard engine (25hp), which is fed through two petrol tanks that are situated under the seat, and its total weight is kept very low. Its owner, Mr Anastasios Ioannidis, told us that its top speed is around 27mph, though the good thing about it is that is has very low fuel consumption.
