Plus, a jetski is 10 pounds of sh!t in a 5 pound bag. Will be fun to work on a gas-electric hybrid.

cigarette isn’t looking to sell tens of thousands of them..they don’t need too.

the most interesting thing for me would be what do they plan to use for an engine/power train. Are they partnering with someone for a one off design. Or are they re-purposing a Yamaha/rotax engine. If it’s the latter…I think the interest level would be low.

would be cool to see concept art and specs…
they said who is designing the engine. I never heard of them. But it’s all a clean sheet design

Thumbs up

I read $27K for the jet ski, not $37k
All electric would be cool as hell, plug in to shore power to recharge. All the tq all at once . No messing with oil changes and combustion engine breakdowns. Not surprised they have a bunch of deposits already.
Can take way more abuse than a combustion engine. Batteries and a motor , simple.
I like it .

Found what I was looking for in different videos from the show. Caught some glimpses of the new cruiser - looks like it will be dubbed the 65 Stealth. I was less interested but still curious about the PWC's, so I guess now it's just wait and watch.

The 65 yacht looks pretty badass I think.

Unless they stick a bunch of ugly outboards on it , then it will be ruined .
