As far as stand up jet ski build projects go, this Fast Powersports GP1R was both fun and a learning experience as we opted to get a mostly bare hull and learn the process ourselves. We're proud of the work we put in after work and on some weekends. Looks spectacular, can't wait to ride!

What an awesome video, thank you so much for taking the time to do this. I’ve been very interested in these boats, and there really isn’t a ton of information like this so I really appreciate it. Excellent content! This is the video that we all want to do that is useful, but never do lol

Appreciate it! Adding the video aspect to the build definitely slows it down, but always great to share to process and look back on it for memories!

I was wondering if you had looked into getting the Kommander GP1 prior to getting this ski? A Kommander GP1 is completely ready for an engine and driveline when you receive it. No need for drilling tapping or guessing……

No, you can get one of these in any form you'd like, this is the trim we opted for. As small business owners ourselves, we understand the undertaking it takes to make a hull from scratch. Hours of design, testing, and iteration.

Hi Nice build thank you. Hoping to do one myself. Two questions.. Who did you source the kit from, and also was the newer F1 a consideration for you ?

@ChixLife 3 ай бұрын

Straight from Dustin at Fast Powersports. And no, not interested in the F1 at this time, have more time on the GP1R hull and like it.

@@ChixLife Thank you, much appreciated...The hulls are actually manufactured in Durban South Africa and I tried to get Dustin to sell me one ex factory so I could save on the exhorbitant international shipping and import tax and duties back into South Africa. Tyron was 100 percent with it but Dustin nixed it, no reason offered...We had words because I offered the full dollar based price and he gave me the bird.

I forgot to mention I live in South Africa

@user-mg2tk6uy6e that could have been because Kommander had ownership in the hulls before they split, and selling it straight from South Africa might have been a problem with that. Who knows.

When are you going to 3 palms?

@ChixLife 4 ай бұрын

Not likely soon. Last year the pond was empty with the drought, and they increased the entry fee to like $40 a person 🥴

How much is it to just buy the hull ?

Best to talk to Dustin.

Has anyone tried to put a supercharged engine in one of these

No point since it doesn't have a race class.

Other GP skis have been built with smaller motors & a turbo. There are also a few SXR 1500's with the Kawasaki 310 setup.

@CGPhotos yes people do that with the TR1. Other than trying something different, there just isn't a good reason, still not competitive. While I'd like to like the TR1, they like to eat rods and just don't have much torque. Not sure what the fascination is with forced induction on stand ups, the powerband makes them more difficult to ride. Would be much better off building an NA motor to make it actually rideable in something other than a straight line.
