After spending considerable energy in the planning of a full production setup for powerplants We realized that the 100K power unit was not going to fly. In addition to the huge impracticalities of shipping such large untis around the world, the complexities of the units were simply duplicating all of the efforts that had gone into the original donor jet skis. Better to use Bombardier or Yamaha’s hundreds of millions of R&D and piggyback off it. Thus was born the ReCap project. Recapping involves taking the top off a high output jet ski and modifying the electronics and converting the hull into a strictly high powered, towable, water pump. With the ability to build it locally and service it world-wide. This would be the thing that could really grow the sport.
