Jävlar vad snyggt!!

the bondrail is not mounted yet , the total weight is 2?? kg .

the legal minimum weight is 296 kg for the 2012 open class world championship rules

we take 3 Supercharger with us to the race , and we test what boost level / ignition timing config will work the best

at the moment we have mounted a 17psi @ 9200 RPM SEADOO CENTRE Australia Unit with a 158 gram ultra lightweight SC Impeller, also as option the new 140 mm 30 blade ROTAX RACING watercooled SC

all water hose connection are done with push on quick connects , we calculated a total time of 11-12 min to take the engine out to install a training or spare engine
( dismounting: Airbox , Exhaust pipe, sensors , waterhoses, driveshaft, enginemount )

the driveshaft is a special heavy duty unit that runs with a special seal and bearing system ( no C-Clip )

we got the permission to use the private MARINA close to the Ritz-Carlton Doha for testing , that will help a lot , as we had no chance to get to the water here on the west coat in the last week

Grymt projekt snyggt!

Hur gick det på tävlingen gick maskinen bra och hur gick det totalt för Lars och Johan?

testing the boatqatar6.jpgthe boat has run very well, and the power, speed and acceleration is crazy , we run 9120 RPM with a 9400 REV Limiter. it was not easy to find the perfekt balance and handling setup , the boat was just pure accressiv and not possible to control for the pilot. it just got crazy fast in no time . the power /weight ratio is almost 2 x from the GP boat last year that Lars Åkerblom took to a easy SM win and also the Slalom Race in Sthlm.
the watercondition was around 1 m waves at the Qualification races, and Lars was not able to use the potential of the boat. we musst keep in mind thee startline was 41 open class pilots and boats. 15 got to the finals

for Johan Johannson i had program 2 boost settings on the turbo setup that he could control during the race , and he made it easy to a 10 th place on "low boost "in the Qualifikation
he badly crashed his arm during the Poleposition race , but got 2 x 14 place in both motos
