Well, I heard about the new Hydro Space runabout coming out with 400HP out of the box. Anyone else heard about this?

website (doesn't mention runabout - yet)

hydrospace-racing

I know its not on their site yet, but aparently they do have one that is being tested and they plan to enter the sit down market with 400hp!!

Oh great let me guess there will be 2 people racing it at the 2006 world finals and it would be legal to race..bull ----.

Where did you hear this? I don't see anything on their website.

I wont bed my life on anything, but I heard this from someone deep in the business who told me about the STXR & RXP before it was anounced, then the RXT before it was anounced, 3D.............now he is telling me about the 400HP HYDROSPACE sit down, Im just passing on what I heard, even though I probably shouldnt be. I guess lets wait and see. It would be exciting if it really does happen, dont you think?

I'll put it to you this way....

If these jackarses dont get off their hineys and make a great handling watercraft with 300PLUS HP, then I think there are more than a few turbo-busa setups to be had for existing hulls for WAAAAAAAAAAAAY less than the cost of a new watercraft.

400HP!!

Yes but its going to cost you about 14K or more to get it out the door.

400 HP???

Man oh man can you imagine the maintance that machine is going to need. Wonder who is going to be autherized dealers and service centers.
I heard about the sit down but nothing of a 400hp motor.
Was rumored that the sit down if availible will also be of Carbon Fiber like the stand up.
If you can get a Complete Carbon Hull then you wont need no 400hp motor to win.

So much talking... I'll believe it when I see it! If I see it and it's under $12,000 then I'll look into getting it.

I don't think you will get a new carbon fiber ski for $12,000.

Im heard there stand up cost around 18K in europe, this ski will be well into the 20k.

the stand up SC is 19.000 EUR ( = 22k US$ ) in Germany

Think in the vicinity of $25K for the sitdown, unreliable sources tell me the hull will be loosely based on the STXR, if that's the case....WOW!!!

I heard they are using old tigershark hulls.

I could be wrong.

Well, this is probably not the place to announce it (I will post in the Yam forum), but I have heard today from the same source that told me the 06 Yams will be black and yellow----------------There WILL BE A 07 GPR.Yes it's true.

Yes and it will be a 4 stroke in yamaha blue in the vx hull.

?

Ya well I heard it was going to be on the old wet bike platform!

And my intel is sound!

LOL, I'm joking, incase someone didn't know!

I'm hoping that's a joke... That info's been out for about 2-3 months! And it's posted on the forum and on Yamahas web site??? Are you for real? Day late and a dollar short there!
