Hmmm this is sad I have 2 roomates one has a HX one has a Waveblaster, the Blaster is highly modified with lots -o-goodies. the HX has few, And the Blaster out handles the HX and is also quicker out the hole and has more top end too!!!! so you mean just because the Wblaster was slower stock that they discontinued the bodystyle then tried out the WBlaster 2 and cause that was still too slow stock that they gave up ? is there any make of pwc that will out handle the HX or Blaster?or that is better for New England type Hard core wave riding? I like the suspension seat of the HX but I think the WBlaster is more balanced and has a more natural steering & riding position...I have 15yrs riding Exp.. and there are 7 pwc machines in the garage and the competition between roomates is getting furious.. If you know of any Machine model and year odd ball or whatever please e-mail me... What is a WB800 ? anyone know what this is ? ( wave blaster 800?) in garage now is 96 HX 94 Waveblaster 100+H.p.(getting new paint for winter) (3) 88 X-2 650 kawi mods 88 SX 650 kawi stand-up 87 Fazer (hydroplane) (this is in process of getting a 650 kawi mod motor transplant ) e-mail for pics please help......... Has anyone made any custom modifactions or have pics of any custom made watercraft?website? its going to be a long winter and i could use all the help i can get (i got tools ,time,shop and need Ideas)

I still have my blaster for sale in Atlanta, you never e-mailed me back on it, I think I sent you pics of the 93. blaster was discontinued due to lack of sales, which was also the bottom line why the hx, hurricane and x-2 were discontinued. my guess is that to many people complained they were hard to ride and board in deep water and unstable and blah, blah!blah!etc.....! and when it comes to top speed ,,,which what seems the majority of riders want these days, the sport class cannot hang with the 1200 cc class,, maybe that is another reason.

a [ waveblaster800] made in Japan , sold just about everywhere but north America,,,,,, Yamaha- motor USA feels there is not a market here for the WB800 [I couldn't disagree more!]

HXvsBLASTER.>>tough call , I own both machines right now, but for racing ... I like the hx,, it takes a very strong blaster engine and hell'uva rider to beat a field of hx's, it can and has been done marc

The reason Sport Class boats have been discontinued has nothing to do with speed or hull design. Niche boats quit selling in favor of larger barges.

For racing application I stick with HX. For pleasure riding I have two Blasters, one stock 701 the other 785 mod, in place of HX I ride 96 XP. HX is fine machine, the weakest link is it's drive train.

it doesn't take much money at all to get about 100hp out of that motor. a nice head, a good pipe, some reeds and possibly some ignition work would put pretty close to that kind of hp. a little porting and you would be there with no problem at all. it takes a lot more hp to push the blaster thru the water because of the drag it creates, hence the race hulls that were manufactured prior to super stock rules.
