The famous X2.6 RotaryMonster, the largest capacity jetski in Europe (Another exists in USA with this engine but in a standard hull).Was featured in 4 issues of Jetskiier magazine a couple of years back (example page in photos, copyright Jetskiier mag) and shown at 2 Xtreme Weekend shows in Tattershall and rode in front of 8000 people. You will get a copy of the 4 magazines too.
This is a 1-off Jetski in the WORLD, nothing else like it!. Hand built by a degree qualified aerospace engineer (over 800 man-hours equivalent to at least £8000+ worth alone). Loads of character. With Stealth-plane style seat sides, JSF type scoops and F18 fighter look from rear with twin jet pumps. Dare to be different. Possibly a good PR tool or show vehicle for a showroom etc.
It has been signed by ex-world freestyle champion Alexander Lenzi (on the intake with gold paintpen and lacquered).

More power than a Seadoo twin-engine jetboat with the excellent 175HP (with restrictive pipes replaced) Mazda RX7 Rotary Wankel engine- equivelent to 2.6litre. Good engines fetch over £700 alone.The rotor tips are no longer a problem on these engines (RX4 on), so nothing to be frightened of and due to the design can withstand water ingress!.
The hull is built with 2 Kawasaki X2 jetski hulls professionally grafted together (not a single crack seen in 3 years) which provides a 41" wide drought and only 7ft long and the seat area completely rebuilt. It is guestimated at 250Kg dry weight (fairly light). It is estimated at 1000 lb of thrust from the twin jet pumps (at 500lb each). The Impellers have been specially balanced and repitched to 11/21 (variable pitch) by Jetshed. On the bow is an oil-cooler necessary for the engine. I have also modified her now with a fuel tank under the seat. Various parts have been used in the build to ensure reliability (including Seadoo parts). It has Renthal bars and manually adjustable nozzle trim.
The engine is in excellent condition, has a lightened flywheel to be more responsive, it reaches maximum torque at 3ooo rpm and maintains it all the way up to max' rpm (racers go up to 11000rpm), so would be excellent for ultra-smooth wakeboard pulling etc with a strong holeshot. The engine takes standard unleaded low octane and needs no 2-stroke oil. The engine starts easily after a quick prime.
Developed and designed for easy and cheap maintenance (and repair if necessary). simpler design than a seadoo with more reliable electrics!
