Introducing: the Reinvented Kawasaki Jet Ski

June 1, 2015 | Published by

When most people think Jet Skis, they think about the 1980s. Though the first Jet Ski was manufactured in 1982, the watercraft rose into the public consciousness over a decade later. Pastel suits and T-shirts underneath go with Jet Skis like rum and cola. Kawasaki made great products back then, but it’s modernized the Jet Ski with revolutionary technology to give it more power, keep you going faster and put you in control thanks to a variety of digital systems. Whether you are looking to buy or rent a Kawasaki in Treasure Coast, FL, take a moment to see what innovations are available on these modern watercraft.

The future of jet skiing

When looking for a model that redefines what a Jet Ski is, look no further than the 310 series. The 310X offers a great gateway into the world of Jet Ski with modern features at a decent price. The 310SE includes several digital features, including an electronic fuel injection, cruise control and an eco mode that conserves fuel for long distance trips. Riders with a need for speed might want to check out the 310R model featuring racing handlebars that offer better control at higher speeds. Fans of fully loaded vehicles can take the 310LX out for a spin with its stereo system and a waterproof tube featuring a USB port awaiting your favorite chase music.

This series of Kawasaki Jet Skis are powered by a supercharged, intercooled, four-stroke, DOHC, four valves per cylinder, inline four-cylinder engine. The engine is good enough for a racing motorcycle and there are a few mid-size sedans that are jealous of its power. The engine sets excellent speed on smooth seas and also blasts through choppy waves thanks to a 22.5-degree V-hull. With the power of this engine, you don’t have to let bad weather and big waves get you down—you’ll have fun even while Mother Nature rains on your parade.

Keys to the kingdom

These engines feature two keys: the green key offers the full power of the craft on demand. Experienced riders can get the most performance out of the 310 series with this key and feel the thrill of cutting across the waves at up to 70 miles per hour.

The yellow key activates SLO mode, which tells the on-board computers to cut about 30-percent of the engine’s power. Jet Ski rookies greatly benefit from this mode by not worrying about punching the throttle too hard on accident and winding up on an awesome wipeout compilation on YouTube!

Any one of the Ultra 310 series makes a perfect way to spend the day on the waves. The 310-horsepower of the Ultra 310 series shows just what nearly four decades of design and development can do to push a watercraft into new heights. Whether you’re just learning, looking for a basic cruise, seeking to cut the throttle wide on the open sea, or cruise down the beach looking for the party, there’s a Kawasaki in Treasure Coast, FL that’s just waiting for you.
