Jet Ski Kawasaki Short Overview
By Low Jeremy
The story of Jet Ski began when Clayton Jacobson II, the known inventor of the original personal water craft, sold the rights to his patent to Kawasaki.
The company began developing this personal water craft and in 1973, came the launch of their WSAA and WSAB models. These 2 are known to be the world�s first Jet Skis. They were produced on a limited basis, powered by 2-stroke twin-cylinder engines. The WSAA was distinguished by a flat haul while the WSAB had a V-type hull.
The year 1976 brought Kawasaki to mass-produce their Jet Ski. This year gave birth to the JS400 (JS400-A) model. When the racers and water sport enthusiasts demanded for power, Kawasaki responded and gave them the JS440 (JS440-A). This model was one of the longest-selling Jet Skis made.
In the 80�s, Jet Ski was more powerful with additional features. This era brought the JS550. It was the first Jet Ski model to come out with revised high-capacity mixed-flow pump that gave it more power for people who wanted to have more than the usual thrill. The JS550 had 531 cm3 2-stroke Twin. Feature included the automatic rpm control.
The 80�s also gave birth to the JS300 (1986) that was hailed to be the beginner�s Jet Ski, 650SX (1987) powered by a 635 cm3 2-stroke Twin, 300SX (1987) with 294 cm3 reed-valve Single with CD ignition, and the very first Kawasaki Jet Ski sit-down water craft, the two-seater Tandem Sport� (1989) with 635 cm3 engine.
The 90�s came with a riveting Jet Ski models, features and designs. At the beginning of the decade, the 550SX, considered to be a high-performing Jet Ski, made its sale. A year later, 550SX was given a facelift with aluminum cylinders, underwater exhaust outlet, and piston reed valves. The 1991 also gave rebirth to the 650SX but was more powerful than before.
Other 90�s models are 2-seater 750SS, JL650-A, JH750-B sit-down, JH750-D sit-down, JT750-A sit-down, 750 ZXi, 750 Zsi, 3-seater JT750, 1100 Zxi, 900 STX, 1100 STX and a lot more. The 90�s made Jet Ski a better choice for its wide range of choices. The power, material used, and features are upgraded with the coming of modern marine and water craft technology.
Some 90�s models are carried with the turn of the century. And with the performance the current Kawasaki Jet Skis have, these models capture still capture the interest of both the thrill seeker and racers.

Make sure you are seen on the water. Even in bright, calm conditions a kayak can be nearly invisible. It is especially difficult for power-driven vessel and large vessel operators riding high in the water to see kayaks. Choose bright colours such as red, yellow or orange for your flotation device and kayak. Also, remember to keep signalling devices within hand�s reach in case of emergency.

Looking For Experienced Crew - Long Term Available
Tue, 27 May 2008 21:08:48 +0200
Hello everyone! I am at a crossroads in my life and am excited for the next adventure. My plan is to purchase a sailboat with the proceeds from the sale of my business and live/cruise/relax/explore for 6 months of the year- every year! (if anyone has any recommendations for what I should buy - I'm all ears - I'm looking to spend around $200kusd and like the idea of a multi hull) I have limited sailing experience but am certified in advanced navigation standard and off shore cruising standard by CYA. Because of my limited on water experience I am looking for an experienced person to be the "captain" of the boat and teach me along the way! Hopefully the candidate will be easy to get a long with and will be able to stay with the boat long term. (I will need someone to sail/maintain her when I'm not there for 6 months of the year!) The crew will only be expected to contribute an equal share of the cost of food and drinks. All boat costs (fuel, fees, marinas, etc.,) will be covered by me!. Each person is to cover their own travel expenses to/from the boat and their costs of personal visas, etc.

40' - 45' Bluewater Cruiser?!
Fri, 24 Oct 2008 19:10:48 +0200
I'm looking to purchase my first sailboat and I am in need of some guidance. I was leaning towards a steel or aluminum hull but most do not have a swim step and walk through transom. It sounds kind of odd but the is a top criteria for me. Three reasons: it is easier to land big fish, it is easiers to board from a tender, and I have a dog who loves the water and if she jumps I need to get her back aboard somehow. Do you know of any steel hulled sloop or cutter rigs that have a walk through transom and a swim step?! I am looking at the 40'-45' range.
