Jet Ski, personal watercraft, whatever you want to call them they are a riot to go scooting across the water on and they tend to put a smile on anyone’s face who’s ever sat on one. Over the years, the development of them has gotten crazier and crazier with production models now available with more than 300 horsepower. YES, I said 300! It’s crazy, that’s for sure. With the power has come all kinds of other technology and the size of these things has been ever increasing. The 300 horsepower models are designed to haul three people and can tow one of them on a wakeboard or skis. These things are mini boats, with handle bars. I’ve heard of folks taking them to entirely different levels of power with turbos and such that make over 600 horsepower. That seems absolutely crazy to me, but at the same time I want to ride it.
But what about a V8 powered Jet Ski? I mean come on, if 4 supercharged cylinders aren’t enough for you, then why not LS Swap one? Well that’s exactly the thought of the JetSki Brothers. And it kind of makes sense actually. So if you take a ski that is rated to carry three people, ditch the factory engine and two passengers, then an LS and the rider has to be okay right? And since the most mellow LS on earth makes 350 horsepower, we’re pretty sure a 450 horsepower cammed stocker is going to rip like none other in this thing.
But enough of my ramblings about how cool it will be, here’s the first two installments of the build for you to enjoy. We’ll bring you the rest this weekend!
A Darwin award in the making. Seems like people are going to extremes to get views for their channels. At some point the law of averages will catch up with serious consequences.
Keep poking that bear…
Just for the record, I drag race and have a couple Ducati’s.
